Its official site describes targets with tight memory budgets under 10 kB ROM and under 1 kB RAM. ### 项目历史 The upstream license text credits Petteri Aimonen and dates the project to 2011. The GitHub repository used for development was created on 2015-04-29, and the official site points development and bug reporting to GitHub while keeping the documentation and release downloads on jpa.kapsi.fi. The core design is deliberately embedded-first: pure C runtime, generated `.pb.c` and `.pb.h` files from `.proto` definitions, static sizing through `.options` files, no required malloc, split encoder/decoder files so projects can compile only the pieces they need, and callback streams for messages larger than available RAM. ### 采用历史 GitHub API data fetched on 2026-07-01 showed 5,454 stars and 1,027 forks, strong adoption for a niche embedded serialization library. The repository also includes Zephyr-related integration files, examples, tests, Bazel/CMake/Meson/Swift package metadata, and generator tooling, reflecting use across several embedded build systems. Homebrew's formula JSON generated on 2026-07-01 reported stable version 0.4.9.1, an old formula name of `nanopb-generator`, 1,082 installs over 365 days, and 740 installs-on-request over 365 days. That pattern fits a toolchain component: many installs are explicit because developers need the generator and protoc integration for firmware or cross-platform protocol work. ### 使用方式 A typical user writes Protocol Buffer schemas in `.proto` files, runs `nanopb_generator.py` or `protoc-gen-nanopb` to produce C headers and sources, then compiles `pb_common.c`, `pb_encode.c`, and/or `pb_decode.c` into firmware. `.options` files set maximum field sizes so generated structs can stay static. Package nerds use the Homebrew package mostly for the host-side generator, not because macOS is the target runtime. The generated C is then carried into firmware, RTOS, or embedded Linux builds where normal Google protobuf runtimes would be too large or too allocation-heavy. ### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心 nanopb is one of the standard answers when someone wants Protocol Buffers on a microcontroller without dragging in a large runtime. It keeps protobuf's schema compatibility story while making the code size, allocation behavior, and generated C output legible to embedded build systems. ### 时间线 - 2011: upstream license text credits the original nanopb copyright to Petteri Aimonen. - 2015-04-29: nanopb/nanopb repository created on GitHub. - 2025-08-14: Nanopb 0.4.9.1 release published. - 2026-07-01: Homebrew formula JSON listed stable version 0.4.9.1 and 1,082 installs over 365 days. ### Related projects - Google Protocol Buffers - Zephyr RTOS - grpcio-tools - protoc ### 来源 - - - - - - - - ## 安全说明 library-like package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger 风险:** 绿色 / 低 - library-like package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
