Supported Environments
Node.js Support
Modem.js relies heavilly on SerialPort NPM package wich officially supports all Active, Maintenance and Current LTS releases of Node.js. For information on what versions this currently covers see the Node.js Release Schedule.
Supported Platforms and Architectures
The platforms, architectures that serialport supports are the following;
| Platform / Arch | Supported |
|---|---|
| Linux / ia32¹ | ☐ |
| Linux / x64 | ☑ |
| Linux / ARM v6⁴ | ☐ |
| Linux / ARM v7⁴ | ☐ |
| Linux / ARM v8⁴ | ☐ |
| Linux / MIPSel⁴ | ☐ |
| Linux / PPC64⁴ | ☐ |
| OSX / x64³ | ☑ |
| Windows² / x86 | ☑ |
| Windows² / x64 | ☑ |
- ¹ NodeJS has dropped prebuilt binaries for NodeJS 10 and above for 32bit linux. As a result it's too difficult to maintain support. However if you build nodejs and serialport yourself it will probably work.
- ² Windows 7, 8, 10, and 10 IoT are supported, but our CI tests only Windows Server 2012 R2.
- ³ OSX 10.4 Tiger and above are supported, but our CI tests only 10.9.5 Mavericks with Xcode 6.1.
- ⁴ ARM, MIPSel and PPC64¹ platforms are not currently part of our testing or build matrix, but will probably work. Since node 12 MIPSel⁴ and ARM v6⁴ support has been dropped by the official nodejs builds.
