emgo
A compiler and package set that enables Go programs to run on small 32-bit microcontrollers by generating C as intermediate code.
What is emgo?
Emgo is a compiler and toolchain that allows developers to write embedded firmware in Go for small 32-bit microcontrollers. It translates Go code into C, which is then compiled using ARM GCC to produce binaries that run directly on bare-metal hardware. This enables Go's simplicity and productivity in resource-constrained embedded environments.
Embedded systems engineers and hobbyists working with ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers who want to use Go for firmware development. It's particularly suited for those targeting STM32 or nRF5 series chips.
Emgo provides a unique approach by generating C as intermediate code, leveraging mature ARM toolchains while allowing Go's expressive syntax. It's designed for minimal hardware requirements compared to alternatives like Embedded Go, making it ideal for very small MCUs.
