Hello folks,
I'm working on a project where we are planning to create a Google Assistant
service instance on embedded/deeply embedded devices( non-linux, ARM
processors running RTOS like ThreadX, FreeRTOS etc. )
Our system has support for building executables for c/c++ etc. but it is
not same as linux( for example - no posix availability ).
Of course, like RTOSes these days, we have wrappers for providing
OS/Networking functionality for applications/libraries to use.
My questions are:
i. How fit gRPC is for embedded devices? I can see abstraction for
different platforms in "port_platform.h" file used to build grpc-core with
options given in the file.
My first thought is it should be doable if I adapt port_platform.h and
build grpc-core with the capabilities provided by our system.
ii. How deep gRPC's love is for posix? If any platform/devices does not
provide any posix-like high level APIs, will gRPC still work as expected?
How straight-forward such a task is going to be?
iii. Any effort in community in bringing gRPC for embedded devices(for
RTOSes) ? Would not it be great to have a tiny(and limited) gRPC library
which can be
easily integrated to embedded devices ? And such a thing supported by
gRPC community/authors ?
I understand that I can get most of the answers from reading the code
itself(which I'm doing btw).
But it would be nice to know insights/perspective of gRPC authors and
community folks who understands gRPC better than me.
Open for suggestions/feedback.
Best regards,
Dharam
