NervesGateNew

Mix archive for creating Nerves Gate app-development workspaces:

mix archive.install hex nerves_gate_new
mix nerves_gate.new my_workspace
cd my_workspace
mix setup
# Select an x86_64 QEMU firmware image in config/simulator.exs.
mix sim
# Start devices and commission application storage in their gateway UI.
# In another terminal:
mix app.install my_app
mix app.new telemetry
mix setup
mix test
mix app.package telemetry

The workspace owns simulator configuration and development tools. It contains one initial app under apps/my_app/; additional apps are independent Mix projects, not umbrella children. Each app depends only on nerves_gate_sdk. nerves_gate_sim and generator helpers are workspace-only tooling, never part of a device application's production package.

Generation does not fetch dependencies, boot devices or format cards. mix setup fetches workspace and app dependencies; mix sim starts a site with stopped QEMU devices. It requires a compatible prebuilt firmware image and the host QEMU tools. There is no fake SDK backend and no copied firmware implementation.

mix app.package writes an app's standard OTP .ez archive under packages/. mix app.install installs a temporary package into the workspace's existing simulator session. An app name may be omitted when only one app exists.

See Application development. Building the archive from source uses mix archive.build in this directory. Hex installation requires the packages to be published; no publication happens as part of generation or repository setup.

This package has its own VERSION and CHANGELOG; releases use new/vX.Y.Z tags.
