Cortex M0

tanner0101 · March 15, 2016, 6:40pm

Hello Swift Dev,

Does anyone know if it is possible to compile Swift 2.2 or 3.0 for the Cortex M0?

We have an ARMv6 port, but I believe the primary limitation you will
run into is the code size and the required memory to hold all the
runtime tables. If we are talking about a system with 256 Kb of flash
and 32 Kb of RAM, it certainly won't fit even the hello world program.

I’m no expert on the M0, but I looked it up. It seems to be Thumb(2) only, and I don’t think thumb support in linux is finished. This is of course in addition to the *significant* constraints that Dmitri noted.

Hello Swift Dev,

Very interesting. Where can I learn more about the runtime tables, etc that Swift products?

Good point. I'll stick to C for this task then.

What in the world does this do?

Hopefully someday it will be possible to write iBeacon firmware in Swift :) I know C++ has a lot of compiler flags to remove some exception and runtime type stuff to reduce file size.

YES, that would be awesome. I would die happy if I could use Swift (or a language substantially similar) on a PIC32 or MSP430, for example.
