Hi,
To facilitate porting my platformio based mesh-radio project (Meshtastic) to run on a non RTOS platform (linux) I’ve (kinda) made a port of the Arduino API to run on top of linux:
My first rough test approximately works but I still need to do cleanup and add more real device adapters (I hope to be approximately finished with this next week). Currently my build for this is a nasty hacked up makefile, but I’d really like to be able to build this as just another environment underneath platformio.
I know very little about the innards of platformio and I’m looking for advice on how to best achieve this. I would love any feedback or advice ya’ll can offer.
Questions:
- I suspect I’ll need to make a new ‘framework’?
- Can I use frameworks even if I want the user to select “platform = linux_x86_64”?
- Are there any docs you would recommend on how to do this? My reading has failed me.
- Where should I register it so the framework= line in client apps platformio.ini will work?
- Should I start from just looking into something like “framework-arduinoespressif32” and using that as a template?
- I assume once I make this as a 1st class framework, the lib_deps list of libs (which say they require ‘arduino’ as the framework) will happily then fetch and I can compile them just like I’m one of the more conventional arduino ports?
Thanks again for any advice.
