API for plugins?

[denizzzka]

Hi!

It is possible to add plugins API or ABI? For example, for adding some more external binaries during linking and with ability to "register" it.

Perhaps someone is interested in writing add-ons for Pinetime on other languages ​​than C++ and with a different than gcc compiler.

(I am personally want to try D language with ldc2 compiler based on LLVM)

It's possible, but nobody has spent the effort do so. Feel free to try.

External apps and stable API/ABI are something we'll want to work on one day or another! To be honest, at this time, I have no idea how we'll build binaries that we'll be able to load dynamically into the running firmware.
As @Avamander said, if you want to do some researches and do some experiment, feel free to share your results :)

As for me, for a beginning static linking is enough.

I've just created a more generic feature request about dynamic app and custom watchface to group multiple requests around that topic. Feel free to continue the discussion in #1262 ;-)
