ESPtux

This is a port of the Arduino API to Linux for the ESP family. It can be used to create a test environment for different projects.

Use-Cases:

Debug and develop Arduino code on your desktop OS.
Faster implementation and testing because of no download to target.
Core is running much faster on x86 or 64bit machine.
Run your code in 'user-space' and simulate your SPI, I2C, GPIO etc. devices with an simple interface.

Currently supported:

I2C
simple algorithms, Arduino structure

What is done

basic Arduino structure
timing (delay(), millis() etc.)
core logging
gpio
serial
I2C bus

open parts

SPI
WiFi
Ethernet
some ESP-IDF functions
