Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : nanopb Version : 0.3.5 Upstream Author : Petteri Aimonen <j...@kapsi.fi> * URL : https://koti.kapsi.fi/jpa/nanopb/ * License : zlib Programming Lang: C Description : Protocol Buffers for Embedded Systems
Nanopb is a plain-C implementation of Google's Protocol Buffers data format. It is targeted at 32 bit microcontrollers, but is also fit for other embedded systems with tight (2-10 kB ROM, <1 kB RAM) memory constraints. In Debian, protobuf-c is the most viable alternative, should you require something more than what nanopb can provide. It has more complete support of Protocol Buffers features (such as easy to use unbounded recursive messages), but relies on dynamic memory allocation and the code size is quite large (more than 20kB binary). I would like someone to package it, if possible. Thanks, Xav
