ATtiny85 Gets an EEPROM-Based Interpreter for Compact Programs

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer built a tiny interpreter for the ATtiny85 that executes 2-byte instructions from EEPROM instead of FLASH. The PoC supports three commands: set GPIO, delay, and map ADC to PWM. Programs are dense and easy to parse, enabling runtime programmability.

Meridian48 take
A neat hack for constrained microcontrollers, but limited to three commands and unlikely to replace native firmware in production.
