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](Build Script)" 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 ARM Linux (RPi2)

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)

Supporting direct H/W control

We may need to control things directly from ECMAScript code. How can we make it possible? Let's first describe it at GPIO-API-candidate page.

IoT.js Package

IoT.js also uses NPM tool, node package manager, as for package development and sharing. Visit IoT.js Package page for more information.
