summary
Claim: Nerves brings Erlang hot code reloading to real hardware by combining a bootloader, overlay-based code sync and a host-side reactor; demos run from mix nerves.new through mix firmware push and show live overlays applied to a remote device and successful rollbacks. Tools actually used include Nerves, Distillery/bootloader, Docker provider, the nerves reactor, Phoenix Live Reloader ideas and ExUnit-on-target experiments. Surprising numbers: Nerves hits ~10,000 downloads and ranks ~310th (top 8%). Built pieces (bootloader, firmware-push, network fixes) work well enough for remote hot updates.
