Nerves Buildroot for Arduino UNO Q

Hello, I would like to ask to someone more involved in the Nerves project if there is gonna be support for Arduino UNO Q. I find it interesting board because it is the first Arduino board with a Qualcomm chip (afaik) and also it has a STM32U585 MCU which is supported by AtomVM.

There was some discussions in this forum, which apparently someone is adding support to Buildroot for the Qualcomm chip.

Thank you for your time!

I think @jimsynz is working on something. There is some discussion going in the nerves channel on Discord but AFAIK no finished version. More a problem exploration right now and figuring out how the device works

Yeah, I think James has made good progress. Last update (in the Elixir discord channel nerves) was that WiFi was weird proprietary struggle :slight_smile: because Qualcomm.

Hey there. I have WIP repos of both buildroot and nerves systems that boot on the machine. Sadly, I am yet to successfully get the wifi interface to come up, but it’s so damn close. I can feel it.

This is only peripherally related to Nerves, but since you can “just install” Elixir in the Debian environment on an Arduino Uno Q, I wanted to use the “arduino-router bridge” to send RPC calls to the Microcontroller. I created a library, and published it as a hex package: arduino_router_bridge_ex

Again, this is not Nerves for the Uno Q, but it lets me do some things in that direction while the Nerves team does their work.
