19 This repository contains a selection of packages mirroring the CircuitPython API
20 on hosts running micropython. At the time of writing drafts exist for
22 * board - breakout-specific pin identities
23 * microcontroller - chip-specific pin identities
24 * digitalio - digital input/output pins, using pin identities from board/microcontroller
30 The Micropython compatibility layers described above are intended to provide a CircuitPython-like API for devices which
31 are running Micropython. Since corresponding packages should be built-in to any standard
32 CircuitPython image, they have no value on a device already running CircuitPython and would likely conflict in unhappy ways.
34 However, the test suites under *testing.implementation.all* are by design
35 intended to run on either CircuitPython or on Micropython+compatibility layer to prove conformance, while the test suites under *testing.implementation.micropython* will only run
36 on Micropython and *testing.implementation.circuitpython* will only run on CircuitPython
42 At the time of writing (`git:3b2fc268 <https://github.com/cefn/Adafruit_Micropython_Blinka/tree/3b2fc268d89aee6a648da456224e6d48d2476baa>`_),
43 the following sequence runs through some basic testing of the digitalio compatibility layer.

62 -----------------------
64 Sphinx is used to build the documentation based on rST files and comments in the code. First,
65 install dependencies (feel free to reuse the virtual environment from above):
70 source .env/bin/activate
71 pip install Sphinx sphinx-rtd-theme
73 Now, once you have the virtual environment activated:
78 sphinx-build -E -W -b html . _build/html
80 This will output the documentation to ``docs/_build/html``. Open the index.html in your browser to
81 view them. It will also (due to -W) error out on any warning like Travis will. This is a good way to
82 locally verify it will pass.
