[nodejs] Node.js on embedded platform
I am creating a chat application which will run on embedded device. It has only 8MB flash memory and 16Mb RAM. Processor is ARM6. Is it possible to run nodejs application there? The application will be Ajax based heavy RIA application. It'll be heavy on client side. But not on server side. I googled many times but didn't find any clue about it. I am aware V8 can be compiled in to ARM. Not sure if its support all the ARM processors. To run node I must have V8 compiled and then node js should be compiled too. If anyone has experience on this please share how its done and what are the common issues. -- Shiplu Mokaddim Talks: http://shiplu.mokadd.im Follow: http://twitter.com/shiplu Innovation distinguishes between follower and leader -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.

Re: [nodejs] Node.js on embedded platform
Grate to know that some people at least run it. My chat application is very minimal. Its like one of the node tutorial chat app. But it'll grow with more features. So later it'll be hard to maintain on that small device. The reason why I chose node because of JS. Writing and maintaining JS is very easy as opposed to compiled language. Also among the interpreted language Node is quite fast. I saw some benchmarks. Performance is good. Now I think maintaining the system would be tougher if I chose Node. So I decided to use Python. So far its running well. Even with a rich UI of ExtJS its taking much less space. Thanks everyone for such valuable information. I hope other developers will get help from this thread via google. -- Shiplu Mokaddim Talks: http://shiplu.mokadd.im Follow: http://twitter.com/shiplu Innovation distinguishes between follower and leader -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
