Nerves: Connected Beyond the Node
summary
Nerves promises practical fixes: centralizing big binaries into a shared artifact cache instead of duplicating 100+ MB toolchains per project, a package format that splits target/staging/image fragments, and prebuilt artifacts fetched per target so desktops avoid repeated 20–30 minute builds. It demonstrates running Phoenix on touchscreen displays, supports remote firmware updates via fwup, and enables reproducible cross‑compilation by letting macs build in Docker to produce target images.
