Running apps

What an app is

An app is a binary program written for Free Wili 2.

These binary apps are copied to the SDCard's /apps/ directory. Then the Free Wili 2 main screen will launch and run them.

The binary apps have the extension uf2. This is the direct output of the compilers used to create programs.

Binary app creation is supported by the wilibsp. This is a collection of drivers, examples, documentation and agent files.

The bsp also has an FWApp contract that the app must follow to work in a friendly way with the existing FreeWili Firmware.

All you do is copy the uf2 to the /apps/ subdirectory on the SDCard. See the Transferring files topic for this.

You can launch an app by selecting in the main screen apps folder.

Also, you can launch apps from the Menu system.
