16 This repository contains a selection of packages mirroring the CircuitPython API
17 on hosts running micropython. Working code exists to emulate the CircuitPython packages;
19 * **board** - breakout-specific pin identities
20 * **microcontroller** - chip-specific pin identities
21 * **digitalio** - digital input/output pins, using pin identities from board+microcontroller packages
27 The Micropython compatibility layers described above are intended to provide a CircuitPython-like API for devices which
28 are running Micropython. Since corresponding packages should be built-in to any standard
29 CircuitPython image, they have no value on a device already running CircuitPython and would likely conflict in unhappy ways.
31 The test suites under **testing.implementation.all** are by design
32 intended to run on *either* CircuitPython *or* Micropython+compatibility layer to prove conformance.
34 The test suites under **testing.implementation.micropython** will only run
35 on Micropython and **testing.implementation.circuitpython** will only run on CircuitPython
41 At the time of writing (`git:b70fd42a <https://github.com/cefn/Adafruit_Micropython_Blinka/tree/b70fd42adf2b81c7f8b176decc0bec4fb93abfe9>`_),
42 the following sequence runs through some basic testing of the digitalio compatibility layer...
44 .. code-block:: python
49 A typical log from running the suites is `here <https://github.com/cefn/Adafruit_Micropython_Blinka/issues/2#issuecomment-366713394>`_ .

63 -----------------------
65 Sphinx is used to build the documentation based on rST files and comments in the code. First,
66 install dependencies (feel free to reuse the virtual environment from above):
71 source .env/bin/activate
72 pip install Sphinx sphinx-rtd-theme
74 Now, once you have the virtual environment activated:
79 sphinx-build -E -W -b html . _build/html
81 This will output the documentation to ``docs/_build/html``. Open the index.html in your browser to
82 view them. It will also (due to -W) error out on any warning like Travis will. This is a good way to
83 locally verify it will pass.
