This demo should help you to organize your project with awesome PlatformIO IDE.

1. It automates installing everything - just open folder with this project in vscode, and agree to install all it offers.
2. It contains working LittlevGL demo, runnable on PC (via SDL drivers).
3. It has example, how to make multiple build targets. For example:
   • native to quickly prototype interfaces on PC
   • other, to build firmware for bare metal

Important! native build (emulator with SDL2 drivers) was tested in linux only! But you still can build MCU targets. If anyone interested to improve other OS support (Windows) - PR welcome.

https://code.visualstudio.com/ - follow instructions there, if you don't have vscode yet.

In linux just run:

sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev

In Mac OSX just follow the steps:

1. First you have do download and install Homebrew (https://brew.sh/)
2. Here's a good documentation how to do that: https://dev.to/berry_clione/install-homebrew-on-macos-mojave-4m3m
3. After that you have to install "SDL Version 2"

brew install sdl2

4. Enable "-D APPLE_SDL" in platformio.ini

Note, this demo still needs care for easy install/build SDL drivers in other operating systems.

If you plan to upload firmware & debug hardware, read notes in PlatformIO install docs.

1. Clone this repository or download as zip.
2. In vscode, open folder via File -> Open Folder... menu.
   • If you do it first time - agree, when it suggests to install PlatformIO plugin, and wait when PlatformIO then install build tools and package dependencies.
3. Build via Terminal -> Run Build Task... -> PlatformIO: Build

If you succeeded with native build, you can run it this way:

./.pio/build/native/program

If native not yet supported for your OS, you still can do stm32 build, upload and so on.
