Server timeouts?

[znmeb]

Have the servers for the wiki and the web builder moved? I'm following the links from the main website -

http://wiki.eluaproject.net/ and http://builder.eluaproject.net/

and they're timing out.

Hi, unfortuntely those servers are no longer online, and probably they'll stay offline for the foreseeable future. Sorry about that.

OK ... I'm interested in porting eLua to an Electro-Smith Daisy microcontroller. Is there some guide for porting the code to a new microcontroller? The Daisy is an ARM Cortex-M7 MCU with 64MB of SDRAM and 8MB of flash memory. See https://github.com/electro-smith/DaisyWiki/wiki for the tool chain details.

There isn't any guide per-se, but you can start from an existing port. For your board (nice one BTW!), a suitable start point could be https://github.com/elua/elua/tree/master/src/platform/stm32f4, or another Cortex-M port from src/platform.

Thanks! Is there some kind of automation tool for generating all the detailed constants in the .h files from some machine-readable document about the board? A manual port looks like a tedious and error-prone process to me, and I'm not sure I'm up to the task,

You should find all the required headers in ST's software packages (I don't remember how they are called now, there's generally a large download that contains their HAL (with all the needed headers) and some other libraries on top of that). Most ports use this recipe: download the manufacturer's HAL and implement the eLua platform interrface (platform.h) using that HAL.

So, eLua is gone ??

we are working at new repo LuatOS, https://github.com/openLuat/LuatOS .

The answer to that question depends on your definition of "gone". On the one hand, you have the complete sources in this repository, and the main project website (https://www.eluaproject.net/) is up and running. On the other hand, it's very unlikely that the wiki and the build server will be online again.

https://www.eluaproject.net/ the main website appears to be down. Is it expected to come back up anytime soon?

I have found it using the wayback machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20210124014444/https://www.eluaproject.net/

Thanks for the report, the main server is definitely not supposed to be offline. There are some infrastructure issues there that I don't know how to fix at this point, in the end I might have to relocate the main site to github or to some other location. Either way, this is going to take some time to fix.
