Welcome to the Altair emulator on Azure Sphere project

Project documentation

The complete documentation for this project can be found at Learn computing fundamentals with Altair 8800 and Azure Sphere.

This project is evergreen

This project automatically updates the CMake Azure Sphere configuration to match the Azure Sphere SDK you've installed on your computer. This is fine for a sample, but for production applications, setting the Azure Sphere configuration in CMake should be intentional and tested.

In the CMakeLists.txt file, the auto_generate_azsphere_config CMake function is called to generate the azsphere_configure_tools and azsphere_configure_api settings.

if (EXISTS "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/Tools/cmake/azsphere_config.cmake")

    include(Tools/cmake/azsphere_config.cmake)
    auto_generate_azsphere_config()

else()

    # For information on setting tools revision and target API set see
    # https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-sphere/app-development/using-cmake-functions

    azsphere_configure_tools(TOOLS_REVISION "21.07")
    azsphere_configure_api(TARGET_API_SET "10")

endif()

For production applications, remove this block and replace it with the following CMake commands.

    azsphere_configure_tools(TOOLS_REVISION "<YOUR_TOOLS_VERSION>")
    azsphere_configure_api(TARGET_API_SET "<THE_TARGET_API_SET_YOU_ARE_TESTING_AGAINST")
