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

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) is used with iotjs specific patches.
• Planning OSX 10.10

Porting to other platforms

It depends on the platform you're working on whether it's easy or quite complicated to port to another platform. Below guide will show you an example of the steps.

• Setting Raspberry Pi 2
• Porting guide to Raspberian for Raspberry Pi, Porting-to-Raspberry-Pi-2

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-control-ideas 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.
