Create amazing Internet of Things designs without soldering or dropping down to
C. The GRiSP project makes building internet-connected hardware devices easier
with Erlang!

* Real bare-metal Erlang virtual machine (no operating system!)
* Hard real-time event handling, using open source code
* Digilent Pmod™ compatible connectors for sensors and actuators

This repository contains the Erlang runtime and support code for the GRiSP
hardware platform.

# Getting Started

The easiest way to get started is to use the [Rebar 3][rebar3_plugin] or
[Mix][mix_plugin] plug-ins for GRiSP.

## Erlang

Install the [GRiSP Rebar 3 plug-in][rebar3_plugin] globally by adding `{plugins, [rebar3_grisp]}.` to `~/.config/rebar3/rebar.config`.

Create a new project:

```sh
# Create a new GRiSP application (use the real mount path of your SD card)
rebar3 new grispapp name=demo dest=/path/to/SD-card
cd demo

# Deploy the application to your SD-card
rebar3 grisp deploy
```

# Hardware

GRiSP hardware supports many different connection standards:

* GPIO
* SPI
* UART
* I<sup>2</sup>C
* 1-Wire

Peripherals can be connected to either [PMOD] ports or I/O
pins directly.

## GRiSP 2 (`grisp2`)

GRiSP 2 ships with the following features:

* 1 &times; 100 Mbit/s Ethernet port
* 1 &times; Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n WLAN
* 1 &times; GPIO PMOD Type 1A (12-pin)
* 2 &times; GPIO pins (14-pin & 6-pin)
* 1 &times; SPI1 PMOD Type 2 (6-pin)
* 1 &times; SPI2 PMOD Type 2A (12-pin)
* 1 &times; UART PMOD Type 3A (12-pin)
* 1 &times; I<sup>2</sup>C PMOD Type 6 (6-pin)
* 1 &times; I<sup>2</sup>C Bus (8-pin)
* 1 &times; 1-Wire Bus (3-pin)
* 1 &times; USB Bus (5-pin)
* 5 &times; mode DIP switches
* 1 &times; JTAG connector

## GRiSP 1 (`grisp_base`)

<img alt="GRiSP 1 hardware" src="doc/images/GRiSP_basev1.2@0.25x.jpg" style="width: 40%" align="right"/>

GRiSP 1 ships with the following features:

* 1 &times; Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n WLAN
* 2 &times; GPIO PMOD Type 1 (6-pin)
* 1 &times; UART PMOD Type 3 (6-pin)
* 1 &times; SPI1 PMOD Type 2A (12-pin)
* 1 &times; SPI2 PMOD Type 2 (6-pin)
* 1 &times; I<sup>2</sup>C Bus (8-pin)
* 1 &times; 1-Wire Bus (3-pin)
* 5 &times; mode DIP switches
* 1 &times; JTAG connector

# Testing

The project has a [hardware emulation layer in software][grisp_emulation] that
allows you to use the runtime locally on a normal computer. To start a local
shell for the runtime use:

```
$ rebar3 as test shell
```
