Pyra Golang on Pyra? [tl;dr = Yep]

[Yori]

So I have been playing around in golang quite a bit and have been enjoying it.

I have an idea for personal app for the Pyra when it comes out and I want to do it in go.

So my question is will I be able to compile golang code to the pyra on the pyra or transcompile it on my PC?

(I'm going to bed after this post, so don't expect replys until tomorrow)

If the Go compiler from GCC is enough, then yeah, no problem (it's even available on the Pandora). I haven't checked for other compiler.

I did some googling and found out that people could put Go (bootstrapped/ original) onto a Raspberry-pi so, I'm guessing a Pyra port will be trivial.
Correct me if I'm wrong and am overlooking something.


I also found information on the github Wiki but I have no idea anything about the different Arm versions or what 'EABI' is so someone smarter should look at it!

[doublepost=1523542188,1523541722][/doublepost]GCC go is good for final product compilation but I like the Go compiler more because its faster at compiling and is great when doing rapid iteration & creates binary with better multi threading (last time I checked).

If there a PI (2) version of it, then it will run on the Pyra, it's the same ABI (and beeing a compiler, there is not specific RPI stuff in the way).

NICE

Thanks @ptitSeb

No need for that r-pi compiler...
a go compiler will be at a "apt install gccgo" away from your pyra.

PS: and I was sure of that before looking for the compiler : debian arm contain softwares written in go and as debian compil all it's stuff, the compiler had to be there

Edit: if you want the real deal, it's also there : https://packages.debian.org/buster/armhf/golang/download
