Build embedded systems with Erlang & Elixir
GRiSP 2: Diving Deeper into Embedded Systems
Create amazing Internet of Things designs without soldering or dropping down to C. The GRiSP project makes building internet-connected hardware devices easier with Erlang!
- Real bare-metal Erlang virtual machine
- Hard real-time event handling, using open source code
- Digilent Pmod™ compatible connectors for sensors and actuators
New! GRiSP 2 is a Go! The KickStarter campaign was fully funded — including the stretch goals. If you contributed, thank you, and keep an eye out for updates.
GRiSP 2 features the following improvements:
- Improved Wi-Fi and added Ethernet
- Increased CPU speed and faster boot time
- Nerves support with secure hardware-based key storage
- Modular design for moving fast from prototype to production
For more details, see the GRiSP 2 Kickstarter page.

We have a few GRiSP-Base boards left in stock! Browse the web store now. Boards are available individually or in bulk, optionally with an SD card preloaded with the Erlang virtual machine.
-
To make it easier to get started building with GRiSP, we've added some Digilent accessories to the store, including a motor robot parts kit, and a multi-sensor PMod attachment (accelerometer / gyroscope / magnetometer / barometer), so you can keep track of where your robot is moving!
-
The project now has a Twitter account (@grisporg) and a GitHub account where the software repositories are maintained.

The team continues to spread the gospel of GRiSP at Erlang-related conferences around the world. You can watch some of the talks from past conferences on our developer resources page.
The original project
GRiSP-Base: Available now
The GRiSP-Base board was first announced in September 2016 at the Erlang User Conference in Stockholm. The first boards shipped in November 2017.
Right out of the box, GRiSP-Base boots into Erlang VM running on real bare metal. It features on-board wireless networking 802.11b/g/n WLAN and connectors for standard PMod sensor and actuator modules.
We have a few boards left in the shop if you don't want to wait for GRiSP 2.
