GSoC 2022 Project: Arduino Core API module for Zephyr

The Arduino Core API module for zephyr leverages the power of Zephyr under an Arduino-C++ style abtraction layer thus helping zephyr new-comers to start using it without worrying about learning about new APIs and libraries. See the project documentation folder for detailed documentation on these topics:

Adding Arduino Core API to Zephyr

  • Pre requisites: It is assumed that you have zephyrproject configured and installed on your system as per the official Get Started Guide. The recommended path to install is ~/zephyrproject as specified in the guide. If you have zephyr installed in a custom path you may need to make changes to the CMakeLists.txt file in the sample code directory when building these samples.

  • Add following entry to west.yml file in manifest/projects subtree of Zephyr:

# Arduino API repository.
- name: Arduino-Core-Zephyr
  path: modules/lib/Arduino-Zephyr-API
  revision: main
  url: https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/gsoc-2022-arduino-core
  • Then, clone the repository by running
west update
  • Note: For Linux users only there exists an install.sh script in this project that can be run to quickly link the ArduinoCore-API to this module. If you are able to run that script successfully then you can skip the next steps.

  • To "complete" the core you need to copy or symlink the api folder from the ArduinoCore-API repo to the target's cores/arduino folder:

$ git clone [email protected]:arduino/ArduinoCore-API # Any location
$ ln -s /<your>/<location>/ArduinoCore-API/api cores/arduino/.

The cores folder can be found at ~/zephyrproject/modules/lib/Arduino-Zephyr-API/cores.

Known Bug(s):

NOTE: You can skip this step as well if you ran install.sh.
