Re: [Haskell-cafe] Does GHC 7.8 make targeting bare metal ARM any easier?

Hello Jeremy, I'd also like to see GHC compiling for ARM bare metal. Honestly speaking I've avoided Raspberry Pi, but rather settled on ARMv7. Side note: BeagleBone is excellent for this as you get all the TI supported tools together with JTAG debugging just for free from TI (including ARM

kiwamu has been targeting an arm cortex-m3 succesfully with jhc. this is a CPU with 40k of RAM running Haskell code very much on bare metal. :) John On Tue, Mar 19, 2013 at 6:07 PM, Jeremy Shaw jer...@n-heptane.com wrote: There have been at least a couple projects, such as hOp and HaLVM

There have been at least a couple projects, such as hOp and HaLVM which attempt to run GHC on the bare metal or something similar. Both these projects required a substantial set of patches against GHC to remove dependencies things like POSIX/libc. Due to the highly invasive nature, they are also
