Embedded Erlang Development
summary
Product is a Baseband R503 with the control plane implemented mainly in Erlang controlling C and FPGA fast-path code; requirements force a tiny image and the team reduces OTP plus app to 6 MB Erlang footprint with the application under 1 MB. Build and deployment use Yocto + Autotools and package-splitting techniques; protocols are specified in XML and a code generator produces encoders/decoders while middleman and protocol processes isolate state. Field trials run for weeks with few bugs and upgrades use dual-image rebooting.
