This is a basic set of replacement library implementations sufficient to get simple applications
|
||
|
|
running on your computer (Raspberry Pi OS, Linux, macOS or Windows using Cygwin or Windows Subsystem for Linux).
|
||
|
|
It is selected by `PICO_PLATFORM=host` in your CMake build
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This can be extremely useful for testing and debugging higher level application code, or porting code which is not yet small enough
|
||
|
|
to run on the RP2040 device itself.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This base level host library provides a minimal environment to compile programs, but is likely sufficient for programs
|
||
|
|
that don't access hardware directly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is possible however to inject additional SDK library implementations/simulations to provide
|
||
|
|
more complete functionality. For an example of this see the [pico-host-sdl](https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-host-sdl)
|
||
|
|
which uses the SDL2 library to add additional library support for pico_multicore, timers/alarms in pico-time and
|
||
|
|
pico-audio/pico-scanvideo from [pico-extras](https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-extras)
