I enjoy seeing how little my dev environment can actually be to accomplish cool stuff. Currently I'm using a terminal app on my iPhone to remote into a RPi0w connected to an ESP8266 dev board to code and program the ESP8266 'from my iphone'. Mongoose OS is a fantastic OS for the ESPxx family line, with it's super easy interface and tons of built-in support into the OS (configuration, common IoT platforms, event-driven javascript, libraries, etc).
- Memory Constraint: Unfortunately RPi0s w 512MB of RAM do not have enough free memory (344MB on my RPi0) to compile. So I used an Raspberry Pi 4 with 2GB RAM to compile, then copied the binary over to the RPi0. I haven't tried a Pi3 or Pi2 w 1GB RAM, but they may work too.
- I've only tested this using mos as a command line tool, not the GUI interface.
On the RPi...
# install dependencies
sudo apt-get install --yes golang build-essential python python-git libftdi-dev libusb-1.0 libftdi1-dev
go get github.com/kardianos/govendor
# create a working directory
mkdir ~/go; cd ~/go
# add to ~/.bashrc and reload
export GOPATH="$HOME/go"
export PATH="$PATH:$GOPATH/bin"
export GO111MODULE=on
export GOPROXY=https://goproxy.io
# clone the mos tool repro
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mongoose-os/mos.git $GOPATH/src/mos
cd $GOPATH/src/mos
# build
make
# test build
./mos helpThat's it! The output binary is at $GOPATH/bin/mos and can be copied to another RPi.
Remember that if you run ./mos by itself, the version of the tool at the time of writing this brings up a user interface, which if you're running in a terminal only, you won't see. So ctrl+c to close it and run it with commands.
If you get an out of memory error during compile, check with free -h. I know you'll need more than 344MB.
Thanks to Brian Degger for his post on building the mos tool on an RPi that inspired me to bring it current.
Could You please share binary, I have only rpi02 like You.
