Arduino Core API module for zephyr

Arduino Core API module for zephyr leverages the power of Zephyr under an Arduino-C++ style abtraction layer thus helping zephyr new-comers to start using it without worrying about learning about new APIs and libraries. Visit this project's official blog for documentation.

Adding Arduino Core API to Zephyr

Add following entry to west.yml file in manifest/projects subtree of Zephyr:

# Arduino API repository.
- name: Arduino-Core-Zephyr
  path: modules/lib/Arduino-Zephyr-API
  revision: dev
  url: https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/gsoc-2022-arduino-core

and clone the repository by running

west update

To "complete" the core you need to copy or symlink the api folder from this repo to the target's cores/arduino folder:

$ git clone git@github.com:arduino/ArduinoCore-API # Any location
$ ln -s /<your>/<location>/ArduinoCore-API/api cores/arduino/.

Known Bugs: While compiling with the ArduinoCore-API WCharacter.h produces many errors. It needs to be deleted from ArduinoAPI.h (it is unused in this port.) We are looking into resolving the issue.
