I know that this topic is quite old, but I thought it is worth mentioning that now you can compile Golang directly for mips.
You would use something like:
GOARCH=mipsle GOOS=linux go build main.go
You can thus compile your program on any computer and just copy the resulting executable on your Onion.
The resulting executable will be able to run on Onion directly.
Hi guys,
I like Golang and I think it makes a lo of sense to use it in IoT projects.
Recently I bought a Onion Omega2 and I thought I should make a small project with it.
I decided to use Go since the resulting executable will be standalone, and fast, plus it has a lot of facilities that would be nice to have (http client and server are just two of them).
While you could use existing Golang libraries that will use the filesystem mappings of the GPIOs, I've considered that is better to implement a fast-gpio library. Besides the fact that it will be faster, it is also a nice "give back" to this community.
So the result is https://github.com/adiclepcea/go-omega2gpio.
I hope someone will also consider it usefull.
Have a nice day
