eLua project status
The current status of eLua is given by the list of the currently supported platforms, together with a list of modules-per-platform and their development phase. For better formatting, the lists are organized as tables that use the graphical notation given below:

Platform-specific modules
For some platforms, a number of hardware-dependent or specific modules are implemented (or in the works).
The following table lists these modules and some boards that can use them.
| Name | Description | Boards | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
LM3S OLED display support |
|
||
STR912 Extended PIO configuration |
|
||
mbed Extended PIO configuration |
|
||
STR912 Real time clock |
|
||
kin.tsi |
Kinetis touch screen sensing |
|
The eLua peripheral modules attempt to provide similar functionality on all platforms for which they are implemented. However, due to significant hardware differences, some module function varies between platforms. Some known inconsistencies are listed below:
ADC- STM32: Only timer 2 is supported for clocked conversions.
- STR9: Clocked conversions are not supported by hardware.
- LPC17xx: Only timer 1 is supported for clocked conversions.
- LPC24xx: Only timer 1 is supported for clocked conversions.
