Have you ever seen Linux running on an Arduino? I hadn't. That’s why I developed this...
A Linux distribution that runs on the Arduino UNO R4 WiFi.

NOTE I designed this for the Arduino UNO R4 WiFi, so I have no idea if it runs on other microcontrollers.

Installation is very simple.

  • Enter your network details on lines 3 and 4.
  • Upload the code to the Arduino.
  • Open the Serial Monitor and check for an IP address.
  • Open your browser and enter that IP address.

NOTE Because the graphical interface is quite resource-intensive, it may take a while to start up, but once it’s running, it is lightning-fast.

It should normally have started up after waiting about 10 minutes.
Once it has started, it is self-explanatory.

You should have:

  • Home
  • File System
  • Terminal
  • Text Editor
  • Settings
  • System Monitor
  • Network
  • Trash.

If you want to see the full list of commands, simply type "help" in the terminal.
I won't give away too many spoilers.
I hope this inspires people.

Best regards, the developer, Noa Raats.
