Hello Jaehong, I've been able to put grpc framework on wiced rtos APIs<https://www.cypress.com/products/wiced-software>. Basically, Wiced SDK from Cypress provides abstracted RTOS/Networking APIs which is underneath implemented by different rtos/network stacks. For example - Expresslogic's ThreadX/NetX, FreeRTOS/lwip etc. I was able to get threads running, start grpc core service, create grpc endpoints(tcp) etc...
Please note that grpc library does not support embedded TLS stacks like mbed-tls(from ARM). Also, default grpc transports module(chttp2?)might be too heavy for your embedded platform. So, you may have to work on these aspect. So be remindful of how "embedded" you can go. For example - it probably won't work on a board/platform with 256KB of RAM. In nutshell, putting grpc framework is totally possible. @Nicolas Noble<mailto:[email protected]> - I'm not sure about the grpc being intertwined with posix part - as i recollect there are pretty good grpc abstractions for different platforms(windows, unix, posix etc.) - i just built on that and was able to get the grpc core up and running.

A full third party implementation of grpc would be needed for that at this point.

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.
