Summary

  • A new embedded system simulator for iPhones and Macs is causing a stir in the hardware developer community for offering a faster development method.
  • Created by Larry reached, the simulator is a showcase for his own creation, an Arduino build running on an old iPhone to serve as a GIF player powered by an ESP32 and small LCD display.
  • While the build is not intended for projects requiring advanced sleep routines or low-level peripherals, the developer believes the simulator could prove ideal for UI testing on small embedded displays, or for making minor code adjustments.
  • Currently a closed source project, should the developer decide to make it open source, it could offer hardware designers an efficient development environment.
