App marketplace

FREE-WILi 2 is built to run more than the firmware it ships with. Because the device's UF2 bootloader will load any RP2350 binary dropped onto its SD card — no special tooling required — third-party and community apps can be distributed as a UF2 file and run the same way the built-in firmware does. WiliApps is the name this documentation project was given for FREE-WILi's app-distribution point, but a dedicated search of the firmware source (every .cpp/.h/.md file, case-insensitive, for "WiliApps," "marketplace," and "app store") turned up nothing — no product, website, in-device browser, or even a planning document by that name exists anywhere in the codebase today.

What's confirmed

  • The device can load and run a third-party UF2 file from its SD card without any cabling or special tools (see Firmware update for the mechanics).
  • Open hardware documentation and Agent.md files are published alongside the firmware specifically so AI coding agents (and human developers) can build custom firmware and apps against real hardware documentation, via the open WiliBSP board support package.
  • The developer-facing API and SDK documentation lives at freewili.com/onewili — this site intentionally doesn't duplicate that material.

What isn't confirmed here

Where to actually find and download community WiliApps, whether there's a web catalog or in-device browser for them, and what (if any) review or signing process exists before an app runs on a device.
