Does Erlang work on any non-x86 processors?

Question

Does Erlang work on any non-x86 platforms?

Microcontrollers for instance? I think it\'d be neat to get a bunch of these and put Erlang code on them.

Or does

Answer 1

erlang runs on anything that has gcc built for it just about. I have run it on mips, x86, ppc, and arm. It also runs on several vxworks platforms.

Answer 2

From the source distribution for R13B01, "README" file:

Portability

Erlang/OTP should be possible to build from source on any Unix system, including Mac OS X.

Instructions for building from source on Windows are in the file README.win32. Binary releases for Windows can be found at http://www.erlang.org/

At Ericsson we have a "Daily Build and Test" that runs on:
