Emgo is a compiler and package set that lets you run Go programs on small 32-bit microcontrollers by generating C as intermediate code and compiling it with an ARM C toolchain. It supports ARM Cortex-M MCUs (e.g. STM32, nRF5) and has largely been superseded by the Embedded Go project for more capable hardware.
Use cases
- write Go programs for bare-metal microcontrollers
- blink an LED on an STM32 NUCLEO board
- program ARM Cortex-M MCUs without writing C
- build firmware for nRF5 boards
- experiment with Go on embedded hardware
When to choose
- targeting small ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers with Go-like syntax
- you want a Go-flavored bare-metal embedded toolchain
- hardware is too limited for the Embedded Go compiler
When to avoid
- you need 100% Go language specification compatibility (use Embedded Go)
- you target non-Cortex-M or 8/16-bit MCUs
- you need Windows-native tooling without Cygwin
- you want an actively developed project
