Flow Based Programming Applied to IoT Development
summary
Flow-based programming is applied end-to-end in the Soletta framework to replace brittle threads and ad-hoc callbacks with typed, immutable information packets and replaceable black-box nodes. A C code generator resolves ports to indices for fast dispatch on tiny targets and a runner executes flows on Linux, supporting IPC via UNIX sockets and per-board JSON configuration. The implementation is statically typed FBP, claims zero leaks and isolated node faults, runs on Zephyr in 100 kB flash and 32 kB RAM, and ships examples like an OIC switch and lamp that require no handwritten C.
