Adding support for Elixir 1.17 / OTP 27 in Nerves

Questions & Help Questions
1

I started investigating using the new versions with Nerves. I have found a few pieces that need a little more vetting and investigation. Follow along here and test yourself if able :wink:

There are various PR’s open that would be needed to support this:

Elixir 1.17

  • nerves_ssh#154

    • Required to start the IEx shell when SSH-ing to device

  • The vm.args.eex needs to adjust to use -run elixir start_cli

    • nerves_bootstrap#316 fixes the mix nerves.new
    • I’m unsure :elixir.start_cli is the right entry point. May need more investigation

OTP 27

Current problems

  • OTP 27 does not boot. The only logs I have right now (via UART) are ¬
size_object: matchstate term not allowed
[nbtty: terminating]
[    8.035300] watchdog: watchdog0: watchdog did not stop!
[    9.107671] reboot: Restarting system
