Developing Nut/OS Applications

Application development is done on a PC running Linux, Windows or Mac OS X. See the Tools page for more information.

Check the Online API Documentation for a complete list of provided functions. Use this along with the API documentation of your runtime library, like Newlib for ARM and avr-libc or the ImageCraft runtime library for AVR targets.

If you are interested in the latest beta, then try the Beta API documentation. It is available online.

A very good way of learning to write Nut/OS applications is studying the NutWiki Examples.

Several Nut/OS Samples are also included in the distribution.
