Embedded Linux (eLinux) embedding for Flutter

image

build-test

This project was created to develop non-official embedded Linux embeddings of Flutter. This embedder is focusing on embedded Linux (eLinux) system use cases. It is also implemented based on Flutter desktop for Windows and has some unique features to use it in embedded systems.

If you develop flutter apps for eLinux, use flutter-elinux, which is a non-official extension to the Flutter SDK to build and debug Flutter apps for embedded Linux devices.

Repositories

Objective & Goal

Our objective is to use Flutter in embedded systems. We're developing this embedder to use Flutter in embedded products. Ultimately we would like to propose and contribute this software to the mainline of Flutter Engine, which means we would like to add an embedded systems version into the Flutter repo for all embedded developers. Please note that this is just our ideal, not the official opinion of the Flutter community.

We would be grateful if you could give us feedback on bugs and new feature requests. We would like to cover the specifications of general-purpose embedded systems.

Features

Documentation

Documentation for this software can be found at Wiki.

Supported platforms

This embedder supports x64 and Arm64 (aarch64, ARMv8) architectures on Linux which supports either Wayland backend or DRM backend. See Support status for details.

Contributing

Now, we cannot accept any Pull Request (PR). Because We are building a system (e.g. CLA) to accept PRs, so please wait for a while the system is getting ready! However, we are always welcome to report bugs and request new features by creating issues.

With the assumption, our final goal of this software openly is to be merged this embedder into Flutter Engine after getting feedbacks. And Google CLA will be required when we do that in the future. Therefore, we cannot easily accept an external PR. However, you can free to create issues for reporting bugs and requesting new features.
