README

Nimphea

A comprehensive, type-safe Nim wrapper for the libDaisy hardware abstraction library, enabling elegant Nim development for the Electro-Smith Daisy Seed embedded audio platform.

CI Docs Version Nim License

What is this?

This wrapper allows you to write firmware for the Daisy Seed embedded audio board using the Nim programming language instead of C++. It provides a clean, type-safe API that wraps libDaisy's hardware abstraction layer.

Key Features: - Zero overhead - Direct C++ interop with no runtime cost - Type safety - Nim's strong type system catches errors at compile time - Clean API - Idiomatic Nim interfaces to libDaisy functionality - Comprehensive - High coverage of libDaisy features - Hardware Accelerated DSP - Full CMSIS-DSP support included - Well documented - Searchable API reference and handwritten guides

Quick Start

Hardware Requirements

  • Daisy Seed - STM32H750-based embedded audio board
  • USB cable - For programming and power
  • Audio I/O (optional) - For audio applications

Software Requirements

  • Nim - 2.0 or later
  • ARM Toolchain - arm-none-eabi-gcc and related tools
  • dfu-util - For uploading firmware

Installation

  1. Install the Nimphea library:
nimble install nimphea

Note: This will automatically clone and build libDaisy. It may take a few minutes.

  1. Create a project from a template: Clone one of the starter templates to begin:
  2. Basic Template

  3. Audio Template

  4. Build and Flash: Navigate to your project directory and use the pre-configured nimble tasks:

nimble make
nimble flash
