Mock platform
Mocking capability allows libmraa user to work with the library without any real hardware available. Enabling this requires library recompilation with architecture override (see Building section below). When mock is enabled, library simulates actual HW operations at the backend so that for the application it looks like a usual board. Being implemented at the backend, the functionality is available in all language bindings libmraa supports.
Board configuration
This feature is yet in the experimental mode and not all functionality is available. Right now we simulate a single generic board with only GPIO (without ISR) working. It also reports having an ADC with 10 (std)/12 (max) bit resolution, but the ADC functionality itself is not yet implemented.
We plan to develop it further and all contributions are more than welcome.
See the table below for pin layout and features
| MRAA Number | Pin Name | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | GPIO0 | GPIO pin, no muxing, no ISR |
Building
Generally all the building steps are the same as listed in the main building guide, you just need to set some specific CMake options.
Linux
To build under Linux, follow standard instructions, just make sure to set
the -DBUILDARCH="MOCK" CMake option.
