Official project updates
- Fixes
- Add types.h compatibility header to hex package so that host MacOS builds work again.
- Fixes
- Detect I2C controllers that don’t support 0-byte writes and revert to the old detection heuristic. This fixes an issue on Beaglebones (AM335x) that caused devices to be missed and kernel warnings to be logged.

Supporting the Nerves project
We want to encourage everyone to contribute in whatever way works for them. Here are some ways we currently recommend:
- Write or port a new hardware library and include it in the Elixir Circuits collection.
- Give money to the project via Open Collective.
- Get in touch about taking over maintenance duties for some libraries, we might be able to provide you hardware.
- Apply for an EEF stipend on something Nerves-related and build it. We can help if you have questions about this.
- Send corrections or improvements for documentation wherever it fails to help you.
- Write about Nerves, give talks about Nerves. Make videos about Nerves. It is all good.
Finally, if you have questions about the newsletter or want to suggest something you can simply respond to this email it will go directly to me, Lars, who edits this thing. Let me know what you think.
