  • circle

    A C++ bare metal environment for Raspberry Pi with USB (32 and 64 bit) (by rsta2)

  • If you're a developer and feeling adventurous, you can also try building it yourself. The source is all on GitHub. It uses the circle-stdlib project (which is circle plus some additions to support much of the C and C++ standard libraries) as a submodule; hopefully I've set that up correctly, but you could always clone that separately and place it in the MiniScript-Pi folder. Check out circle's build instructions for info on setting up your toolchain. (Mac users: be careful with the configure script, which does not work properly on MacOS; find me on Discord and I'll help you fix the script or configure manually.)

  • minimicro-editor-themes

    Custom colors (themes) for the built-in code editor in Mini Micro

  • I recently discovered a C++ library (circle) that simplifies writing C++ programs to run on the Raspberry Pi, directly "on the metal" — without any operating system. I've had a Raspberry Pi 400 on my side table for a couple years now, running the standard Linux distribution, but not getting much use. What I really wanted was an experience like the classic home computers of the 80s: turn it on, and within seconds you are at a friendly blinking cursor, waiting for you to type some BASIC (or in our case, MiniScript) code.

  • MiniScript-Pi

    a native MiniScript environment, running on the bare metal of a Raspberry Pi

  • If you have a Raspberry Pi (especially a Pi 4 — the code is untested and may not work on other versions of the Pi), you can run this yourself! Download the zip file from the release page, unzip it, and copy all the files therein onto an empty SD or MicroSD card formatted as FAT32. Insert this card into your Raspberry Pi, and turn it on. That's it!

  • circle-stdlib

    Standard C and C++ Library Support for Circle
