Nexus Tiny

Planned — Q2 2026

Nexus Tiny is the smallest profile — a 256-byte to 32KB firmware for 8-bit microcontrollers and single-purpose sensors.

Target Hardware

  • 8-bit MCUs (AVR, PIC)
  • Single-sensor IoT probes
  • Bare-metal embedded devices with no MMU

What's Included

  • One NPS (Nip Sensor) package
  • No operating system — the sensor firmware runs bare-metal
  • Minimal telemetry and ProvChain logging (if storage permits)

What's NOT Included

  • No Rumpk kernel (no MMU, no privilege modes on 8-bit)
  • No NexFS (no filesystem needed for a single sensor)
  • No networking (optional — depends on hardware)
  • No display

Use Cases

  • Environmental sensors (temperature, humidity, pressure)
  • Industrial probes (vibration, current, voltage)
  • Satellite sensor payloads (radiation counters, magnetometers)

Build

sh
nexus build --profile=tiny --arch=avr --target=temperature_probe

The output is a raw binary firmware image, ready to flash.
