View Source Changelog
This project does NOT follow semantic versioning. The version increases as follows:
- Major version updates are breaking updates to the build infrastructure. These should be very rare.
- Minor version updates are made for every major Buildroot release. This may also include Erlang/OTP and Linux kernel updates. These are made four times a year shortly after the Buildroot releases.
- Patch version updates are made for Buildroot minor releases, Erlang/OTP releases, and Linux kernel updates. They're also made to fix bugs and add features to the build infrastructure.
v0-10-0
v0.10.0
This is a Buildroot version update that appears to mostly contain bug and security fixes. It should be a low risk upgrade.
- Updated dependencies
v0-9-2
v0.9.2
Changes
- Two Buildroot patch updates and an Erlang minor version update
- Nerves Heart v2.0 is now included. Nerves Heart connects the Erlang runtime to a hardware watchdog. v2.0 has numerous updates to improve information that you can get and also has more safeguards to avoid conditions that could cause a device to hang forever.

This is a Buildroot and Erlang bug fix release. It should be a low risk upgrade from the previous release.
Updated dependencies
Changes
- Specify CPU-specific flags when compiling NIFs and ports. This fixes an issue where some optimizations could not be enabled in NIFs even though it should be possible to have them. E.g., ARM NEON support for CPUs that have it.
- Build the Wireguard kernel driver. This is a small device driver that enables a number of VPN-based use cases.

- Programs that use OpenMP will run now. The OpenMP shared library

Updated dependencies
Improvements
- Support for the
dl.nerves-project.org
backup site. Due to a GitHub outage in November, there was a 2 day period of failing builds since some packages could not be downloaded. We implemented the backup site to prevent this in the future. This update is in thenerves_defconfig
. - Use new build ORB on CircleCI. This ORB will shorten build times to fit in CircleCI's new free tier limits. Please update if building your own systems.

Improvements
- Include software versioning and licensing info (see legal-info directory in artifact)
v0-5-1
v0.5.1
This fixes a regression that happened when the toolchain was updated to require Linux kernel headers newer than the kernel used in this project. Rather than holding the kernel version back, I updated it to Linux 5.10. This is beyond what Seeed supports (4.19), but it's 2021 and Linux 5.10 appears to work well.
- Updated dependencies
- Linux 5.10.59

v0.5.0
This release updates to Buildroot 2021.08 and OTP 24.1. If you have made a
custom system off this one, please review the nerves_system_br v1.17.0
release
notes.
- Updated dependencies
v0-4-2
v0.4.2
This release updates Erlang/OTP from 24.0.3 to 24.0.5 and Buildroot from 2021.05 to 2021.05.1. Both of these are security/bug fix updates. This is expected to be a safe upgrade from v1.16.1 for all users.
Updated dependencies
Improvements
- Beta support for using a
runtime.exs
script for runtime configuration. - Added a
provision
task to thefwup.config
to enable re-provisioning a MicroSD card without changing its contents. - Adds a default
/etc/sysctl.conf
that enables use of ICMP in Erlang. This requiresnerves_runtime v0.11.5
or later to automatically load the sysctl variables. With it using:gen_udp
to send/receive ICMP will "just work". It also makes it easier to add other sysctl variables if needed.
- Beta support for using a

This release updates to Buildroot 2021.05 and OTP 24.0.2. If you have made a
custom system off this one, please review the nerves_system_br v1.16.0
release
notes.
Updated dependencies
Improvements
- This release now contains debug symbols and includes the Build-ID in the ELF headers. This makes it easier to get stack traces from C programs. As before, the Nerves tooling strips all symbols from firmware images, so this won't make programs bigger.
v0-3-1
v0.3.1
This is a security/bug fix release that updates to Buildroot 2021.02.1 and OTP 23.3.1. It should be safe for everyone to apply.
- Updated dependencies
v0-3-0
v0.3.0
This release updates to Buildroot 2021.02 and OTP 23.2.7. If you have made a
custom system off this one, please review the nerves_system_br v1.15.0
release
notes.
The Nerves toolchain has also been updated to v1.4.2. This brings in Linux 4.14 headers to enable use of cdev and eBPF. This won't affect most users.
- Updated dependencies
v0-2-1
v0.2.1
- Improvements:
- Load device tree overlays for I2C, SPI and UART so that the "Raspberry Pi" GPIO headers work more like the Raspberry Pi by default
- Synchronize with official systems
v0-2-0
v0.2.0
This updates the system to the nerves_system_br 1.14.x
series and updates the
toolchain to use gcc 10.

v0-1-0
v0.1.0
This is the initial release. The basics work: MicroSD boot, Linux, both Ethernet ports, the RTC, DT overlays, firmware updates. The display and eMMC support are untested and likely require work. Only a cursory skim of power management and other peripherals has been made so far.
