dev-posix-board Native Posix board target

In order to iterate quickly on firmware features, it can be helpful to build and run the firmware on your local workstation, with generated virtual press/release events flowing into the handler functions.

Prerequisites

In order to build targeting the native_posix board, you need to setup your system with a compiler that can target 32-bit POSIX.

On Debian, you can do this with:

apt install -y gcc-multilib

Building

To do this, you can build ZMK targeting the native_posix board.

west build --pristine --board native_posix

Once built, you can run the firmware locally:

./build/zephyr/zephyr.exe

Virtual Key Events

The virtual key presses are hardcoded in boards/native_posix.overlay file, should you want to change the sequence to test various actions like Mod-Tap, etc.
