Title: Micro Core for Arduino Yun <I Believe it Can Fly>
Post by: SirFizX on August 14, 2016, 02:44:34 PM

I wish to install Micro Core on an Arduino Yun or similar prototyping micro-controller. The Arduino Yun comes built with its own fork of OpenWrt.https://openwrt.org/ (https://openwrt.org/) and exposes wireless connectivity via ssh.  How much of a rewrite of Micro Core, if any, would be required to be installed on the Yun and run on its Atheros AR9331 processor?  I can currently duplicate the Python Flask server basis for this project. https://learn.adafruit.com/smart-measuring-cup/overview (https://learn.adafruit.com/smart-measuring-cup/overview) I wish to do something similar with an install of Micro Core.  If Micro Core can be installed on Yun, and programmed wirelessly, I would likely try to use nginx configured for micro-caching as in this Gist. https://gist.github.com/fennb/1283573 (https://gist.github.com/fennb/1283573) 8)

It is a MIPS architecture, at the moment MIPS port doesn't exist. Yun hardware resources are very low, at the limit of TC requirements. Additionally Arduino WEB site says:

NOTE: this product is currently retired.

However it can be done.

@bmarkus :  Thanks.  They're still making the YUN and YUN Mini at Arduino.org . http://www.arduino.org/products/boards/arduino-yun-mini (http://www.arduino.org/products/boards/arduino-yun-mini)

MIPS port is on the todo list, but with low priority.
