Arduino emulator on bare metal PI.

[cheako]

I found this project in Google and am asserting that here is a good a place as any for this post.

I had an interesting discussion on https://youtu.be/cWuFLEb-pUM
The idea there was that since an Arduino does less it has some advantage over the less expensive PI zero W($20 cheeper). My point was that it would be entirely possible to have a PI do less. This repo very effectively demonstrates this, I think.

The challenge is to write something that looks like an Aurduino, but is a PI running a not so fancy OS.

Great idea! Was looking for something like this for my next self-made keyboard.

I am not sure if I understand the question entirely. If you are saying that you want to program the Pi like an Arduino, that is, have a single main loop or state machine in a single threaded application running on the pi, then yes, you can use the tutorial code here as a template.

Basically, put your state machine into kernel_main().

This issue has been dormant for some time. I am closing it right now. Feel free to reopen if questions remain.
