TamaGo – bare metal Go for ARM SoCs

Re:TamaGo – bare metal Go for ARM SoCs by ejolto on Thursday September 24, 2020 @04:28AM (#24576544)

I quickly looked up TinyGo and it seems to have a larger scope than TamaGo. For example it supports several Atmel microcontrollers that are not ARM based. TamaGos scope is smaller as they only support ARM.

I'm sure there are more differences.

Edit: They answer the question in their faq https://github.com/f-secure-foundry/tamago/wiki/Frequently-A...

Thanks.

So, for other who are curious. TamaGo is focused on certain ARM SoCs. So CPUs rather than microcontrollers. TamaGo is more or less a fully fledged go running on bare metal.

Pretty cool, actually.

Also there's gokrazy[0]: "a pure-Go userland for your Raspberry Pi 3 or 4 appliances"

gokrazy is not bare metal as it bundles a Linux kernel, so it's basically a mini-Linux distro and therefore quite different.
