# FastLED Native Platform Configuration
## Overview
This document describes the comprehensive `platform.json` configuration for FastLED's native build platform. The design leverages the Python `ziglang` package to provide a unified, cross-platform compilation environment that integrates seamlessly with the existing `build_unit.toml` structure.
## Key Design Principles
### 1. **Unified Toolchain Integration**
- **Ziglang Foundation**: Uses `python -m ziglang` commands matching the current `build_unit.toml` configuration
- **Cross-Platform Consistency**: Single toolchain across Linux, macOS, Windows with automatic target detection
- **Direct TOML Mapping**: Toolchain commands directly map between `platform.json` and `build_unit.toml`
### 2. **Comprehensive Architecture Support**
- **x86_64 Targets**: Linux, macOS, Windows with appropriate system-specific flags
- **ARM64 Targets**: Linux (generic), macOS (Apple Silicon), Windows with optimized CPU settings
- **RISC-V 64**: Linux support for emerging architecture
- **Auto-Detection**: Intelligent target selection for simplified development workflow
### 3. **Arduino Package Format Compliance**
- **PlatformIO Integration**: Full compatibility with PlatformIO package management
- **Framework Support**: Both FastLED-stub and Arduino-stub frameworks
- **Package Dependencies**: Proper toolchain, framework, and tool dependency management
- **Versioning Strategy**: Semantic versioning with appropriate version constraints
### 4. **Build System Flexibility**
- **Flag Inheritance**: Base, debug, release, and test flag configurations
- **Platform-Specific Linking**: Automatic application of OS-specific link flags
- **Compiler Caching**: Optional ccache/sccache integration for performance
- **Build System Support**: CMake, Ninja, and direct compilation compatibility
## Complete Platform.json Structure
The full `platform.json` includes:
1. **Board Definitions** (8 comprehensive targets):
- `native-x64-linux`, `native-x64-macos`, `native-x64-windows`
- `native-arm64-linux`, `native-arm64-macos`, `native-arm64-windows`
- `native-riscv64-linux`, `native-auto` (intelligent detection)
2. **Toolchain Configuration**:
- Complete ziglang tool mapping (CC, CXX, AR, LD, etc.)
- Build flag hierarchies (base, debug, release, test)
- Platform-specific link flags for each OS
3. **Package Management**:
- Toolchain dependencies with proper versioning
- Optional tool packages (cmake, ninja, caching)
- Framework packages for Arduino compatibility
4. **Development Features**:
- Integrated debugger support (GDB for Linux/Windows, LLDB for macOS)
- Environment variable customization support
- Target compatibility specifications
## Platform.json Configuration
The complete platform.json follows Arduino package format with these key sections:

]
}
}
```
## Integration with build_unit.toml
The `platform.json` is designed to seamlessly integrate with the existing `build_unit.toml` configuration:
### Toolchain Mapping
The `[tools]` section in `build_unit.toml` directly maps to the ziglang toolchain defined in `platform.json`:
- `cpp_compiler = ["python", "-m", "ziglang", "c++"]``CXX: "python -m ziglang c++"`
- `linker = ["python", "-m", "ziglang", "c++"]``LD: "python -m ziglang c++"`
- `archiver = ["python", "-m", "ziglang", "ar"]``AR: "python -m ziglang ar"`
### Build Flag Integration
The platform flags complement the TOML configuration:
- **Base flags**: Defined in both `platform.json` and `build_unit.toml` for consistency
- **Platform-specific flags**: Windows-specific flags from TOML are automatically applied
- **Test flags**: Unit test defines from TOML are included in the platform test configuration
### Target Selection
The platform supports automatic target detection or explicit target selection:
```bash
# Auto-detect target
platformio run -e native-auto
# Explicit target selection
platformio run -e native-x64-linux
platformio run -e native-arm64-macos
platformio run -e native-x64-windows
```
## Integration Benefits
### Seamless TOML Integration
The design ensures perfect compatibility with existing `build_unit.toml`:
- Toolchain commands match exactly: `["python", "-m", "ziglang", "c++"]`
- Build flags complement rather than duplicate TOML configuration
- Platform-specific flags automatically applied based on detection
### Enhanced Development Workflow
- **Single Command Compilation**: `platformio run -e native-auto`
- **Cross-Compilation Support**: Build for different targets from any host
- **Testing Integration**: Full unit test support with proper namespace isolation
- **Debug Builds**: Integrated debugging with platform-appropriate tools
### Future-Proof Architecture
- **Extensible Design**: Easy addition of new architectures and targets
- **WebAssembly Ready**: Structure supports future WASM integration
- **Container Builds**: Foundation for Docker/Podman integration
- **Static Analysis**: Framework for clang-tidy and analyzer integration
## Usage Examples
### Basic Compilation
```bash
# Compile for current platform (auto-detect)
platformio run -e native-auto
# Compile for specific platform
platformio run -e native-x64-linux
```
### Testing
```bash
# Run unit tests
platformio test -e native-auto
# Run tests with specific build flags
platformio test -e native-x64-linux --test-port=native
```
### Cross-Compilation
```bash
# Compile for ARM64 Linux from x86_64
platformio run -e native-arm64-linux
# Compile for Windows from Linux
platformio run -e native-x64-windows
```
### Debug Builds
```bash
# Debug build with symbols
platformio run -e native-auto --build-type=debug
# Release build with optimization
platformio run -e native-auto --build-type=release
```
## Advanced Configuration
### Custom Board Definition
```json
{
"native-custom": {
"name": "Custom Native Target",
"mcu": "custom",
"build": {
"target": "x86_64-linux-musl",
"extra_flags": [
"-DCUSTOM_DEFINE=1",
"-static"
]
}
}
}
```
### Environment Variables
The platform respects environment variables for customization:
- `ZIG_TARGET`: Override target triple (e.g., `x86_64-linux-musl`)
- `ZIG_CPU`: Override CPU type (e.g., `x86_64_v3`)
- `FASTLED_NATIVE_FLAGS`: Additional compiler flags
### Build System Integration
The platform integrates with multiple build systems:
- **PlatformIO**: Primary integration with comprehensive board support
- **CMake**: Compatible with existing CMake configurations
- **Direct Compilation**: Can be used directly with ziglang commands
## Complete Board Definitions
The platform.json includes 8 comprehensive board definitions:
1. **native-x64-linux**: x86_64 Linux with GNU target
2. **native-x64-macos**: x86_64 macOS with Apple-specific configuration
3. **native-x64-windows**: x86_64 Windows with MinGW compatibility
4. **native-arm64-linux**: ARM64 Linux with Cortex-A76 optimization
5. **native-arm64-macos**: ARM64 macOS with Apple M1 optimization
6. **native-arm64-windows**: ARM64 Windows with appropriate runtime
7. **native-riscv64-linux**: RISC-V 64-bit Linux support
8. **native-auto**: Automatic target detection and selection
## Tool Dependencies
The platform includes comprehensive tool support:
```json
{
"tools": {
"python-ziglang": {
"type": "compiler",
"version": "^0.13.0",
"description": "Zig toolchain with bundled Clang/LLVM",
"install": { "pip": "ziglang" }
},
"cmake": {
"type": "build-system",
"version": "^3.21.0",
"optional": true
},
"ninja": {
"type": "build-system",
"version": "^1.11.0",
"optional": true
},
"ccache": {
"type": "compiler-cache",
"version": "^4.0.0",
"optional": true
},
"sccache": {
"type": "compiler-cache",
"version": "^0.7.0",
"optional": true
}
}
}
```
## Target Compatibility
Platform compatibility specifications ensure proper deployment:
```json
{
"target_compatibility": {
"x86_64-linux-gnu": {
"glibc": ">=2.31",
"kernel": ">=5.4.0"
},
"x86_64-macos-none": {
"macos": ">=11.0"
},
"x86_64-windows-gnu": {
"windows": ">=10"
},
"aarch64-linux-gnu": {
"glibc": ">=2.31",
"kernel": ">=5.4.0"
},
"aarch64-macos-none": {
"macos": ">=11.0"
},
"aarch64-windows-gnu": {
"windows": ">=10"
},
"riscv64-linux-gnu": {
"glibc": ">=2.31",
"kernel": ">=5.10.0"
}
}
}
```
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
1. **Ziglang not found**: Ensure `ziglang` Python package is installed
2. **Target not supported**: Check `zig targets` for available targets
3. **Linking errors**: Verify platform-specific link flags in configuration
### Debug Information
```bash
# Check available targets
zig targets
# Verify toolchain installation
python -m ziglang version
# Test compilation
python -m ziglang c++ --version
```
