A Voyage Through Embedded Innovations

GRiSP has been pushing the boundaries of embedded systems since 2013-bringing Erlang to hardware, loT, and distributed applications. From the first concept to today's SaaS solutions, this timeline highlights key milestones shaping its evolution.

2013

The Birth of GRiSP

Peer Stritzinger's transition from C to Erlang led to the first concept of GRiSP, introduced during the Erlang User Conference. This laid the groundwork for embedded real-time systems.

2015

Early Prototypes and Bosch Collaboration

Specialized boards developed for Bosch ran Erlang for distributed systems, showcasing GRiSP's industrial potential and open-source adaptability.

2016

Wireless Applications and Prototyping

Adam Lindberg's demo at Erlang Factory Lite in Berlin highlighted GRiSP's loT capabilities, sparking interest in real-time embedded applications.

2017

GRiSP 1 Launch

The first GRiSP board, with Diligent Pmod™ Compatible connectors, introduced modular hardware for embedded systems.

2018

Workshops and Community Engagement

A full-day Code BEAM STO workshop showcased GRiSP's embedded and distributed application potential to developers.

2019

GRiSP 2 Kickstarter

Funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign, GRiSP 2 introduced Ethernet support, faster boot times, and modular design for more advanced applications.

2022

GRiSP 2 Production

Despite delays, GRiSP 2 was delivered, featuring enhanced capabilities for embedded systems development.

2023

GRiSP-io Vision

Peer Stritzinger shared GRiSP's Saas roadmap at Lambda Days, introducing GRiSP-io for distributed and edge computing applications.

2024

GRiSP-io Beta and Braid

GRiSP-io's beta launched at Code BEAM Stockholm, alongside Braid-a system connecting Erlang nodes across cloud and edge platforms.

2025 and beyond

Built for the Edge, Shaped by the Community

Exciting projects are on the horizon, including Kickstarter campaigns for new Diligent Pmod™ Compatible expansions, Two-B (a self-balancing robot kit), Rebar enhancements for the BEAM ecosystem, and GRISP Nano production.

Stay in the loop as we build the future of GRiSP and BEAM.
