Here I have made a little Arduino framework emulation which you can run on a Linux PC with Eclipse.
It can be quite useful to debug Arduino-Sketches in Eclipse because the most Arduino boards do not support a debugger.
This Eclipse project is mainly made to test Arduino code which uses TFT-displays like the widely used ILI9341.
I just imported the Adafruit touchpaint example and many others and now you can simply run it on your Linux PC.
If you have Eclipse on your computer it is quite easy to install, just import the github repository like described in the readme.
Is it useful for anybody?
Here is a picture of the Adafruit touchpaint example running on this Eclipse Arduino framework emulation:
Chris, it looks like an interesting project.
I develop with various boards, from small 328 through to 1284 and 2560 though mostly SAM3X8E DUE boards, with ILI9341 LCD screens.
The library I use for the ILI9341 is by Marek, a more optimised version of the library you use I believe with DMA for use on SAM boards, which does speed things up considerably.
Does and if so, how do you configure for various boards as your documentation on your GitHub page does not provide a lot of information about its functionality and capabilities ?
It would be great if you could describe more about the projects abilities and limitation and also, how it can be extended to include other libraries.
