Simpletest Examples For Boards

Open FoamyGuy opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

During 'in the weeds' discussion of the 8/28 meeting the idea was proposed to add board specific simpletest scripts. these would be added inside the core repo in the board directories.

Then once they exist there, circuitpython.org website can be updated to show a button or link to the simpletest for a board on the board detail page if that board does have it's simpletest already.

The discussion can be heard in the meeting recording here: https://youtu.be/UndmYxxiNZQ?si=lldBLYo50cXk1jHX&t=1627

At first glance, this proposal seems reasonable.

After a moment of reflection (in my situation, as a noob with circuitpython, a beginner in uC and a programmer with many years of experience), it begins to be: a lot of work that is not necessarily necessary for anyone.

Each board has a list of built-in modules that are available. Each module and library has its own very good documentation. It took me about 2 days to find documentation for the modules... And this should be the link.
