|
In order to iterate quickly on firmware features, it can
|
|
be helpful to build and run the firmware on your local
|
|
workstation, with generated virtual press/release events
|
|
flowing into the handler functions.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
In order to build targeting the `native_posix` board, you need to setup your system
|
|
with a compiler that can target 32-bit POSIX.
|
|
|
|
On Debian, you can do this with:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
apt install -y gcc-multilib
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
To do this, you can build ZMK targeting the
|
|
`native_posix` board.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
west build --pristine --board native_posix
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once built, you can run the firmware locally:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./build/zephyr/zephyr.exe
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Virtual Key Events
|
|
|
|
The virtual key presses are hardcoded in `boards/native_posix.overlay` file, should you want to change the sequence to test various actions like Mod-Tap, etc.
