Getting Started

Overview

IoT.js is built based on JerryScript(lightweight JavaScript engine) and libuv for asynchronous I/O event handling.

Source repositories

IoT.js: https://github.com/Samsung/iotjs.git
JerryScript: https://github.com/Samsung/jerryscript.git
libuv: https://github.com/Samsung/libuv.git

Build script

There is a script to help you build IoT.js called "build.py" in source repository.

Supported platforms

Current supported platforms are Linux and NuttX

Build for Linux: Ubuntu 14.04 is used as a base platform.
Build for NuttX: NuttX 7.9 (Feb 15, 2015)
Build for Nuttx (new): NuttX latest version
Raspberry Pi 2
- Setting Raspberry Pi 2
- Build for Raspberry Pi 2
Build for Intel Edison with mraa

Platforms to support

OSX 10.10 as development host
Artik 1 => as target board

H/W boards

Current supporting
- STM32F4-Discovery + BB
- Raspberry Pi 2
Plan to support
- Samsung Artik 1
- STM32F429-Discovery
- STM32F411-Nucleo
- Intel Edison
- (and your contributions including above plans)

We will support the correct behavior of APIs for above environments. However, since IoT.js is targeting various kind IoT devices and platforms, single implementation cannot be the best practice for every environments. Therefore embedders should be in charge of optimization for their own environments. For more details on optimization, see the Optimization Tips page.
