Keynote: The Demarcation of the Edge of Innovation
summary
Claims a concrete workflow: Nerves boots Linux to the Erlang VM, uses buildroot to cross‑compile, and produces 20 MB firmware images that support multi‑target builds (Raspberry Pi 0/1/2/3, BeagleBone, Intel x86) with A/B firmware slots for safe upgrades. Examples include a working quadcopter, farmbot using OpenCV, a production RFID terminal, and a motorcycle project. The talk cites the wisdom‑of‑crowds result (mean within 0.8%) to justify embracing dependencies.
