The marketing copy and docs claimed ESP32-C3 / XIAO-C3 / SuperMini /
CH32V003 ran on a "browser-native RV32IMC core written in TypeScript",
but production runs through QEMU lcgamboa (libqemu-riscv32) with the
esp32c3-picsimlab machine — same backend pattern as Xtensa ESP32, just
a different libqemu binary. The TypeScript ISA layer
(RiscVCore.ts / Esp32C3Simulator.ts / RiscVSimulator.ts) is kept only
as Vitest unit-test infrastructure for RV32IMC instruction decoding;
it cannot handle the 150+ ROM functions ESP-IDF needs at boot and is
not wired into the production emulation path.
Files updated:
Marketing pages
- LandingPage: board-group label, FAQ answer, architecture description
no longer claim "browser-native" or "no backend needed" for RISC-V.
- AboutPage: arch card retitled "RISC-V via QEMU", body explains the
libqemu-riscv32 / lcgamboa backend.
- Velxio2Page: arch group engine label, multi-board feature item,
competitive-comparison card all corrected.
- ArduinoEmulatorPage: two RISC-V cards corrected.
- ESP32SimulatorPage: ESP32-C3 cross-link card corrected.
- ESP32C3SimulatorPage: hero subtitle, trust strip, supported-boards
intro, JSON-LD description corrected.
- ElectronicsSimulatorPage: install-needed FAQ corrected.
- examples.ts: c3-blink description and code-comment corrected.
SEO surfaces
- index.html: JSON-LD SoftwareApplication description, OS-fallback FAQ
body, supported-boards <ul> bullets, feature list bullets corrected.
- seoRoutes.ts: /esp32-c3-simulator title + description corrected;
homepage description corrected.
Docs page
- DocsPage RiscVEmulationSection: intro paragraph rewritten — RISC-V
goes through QEMU lcgamboa with libqemu-riscv32 / esp32c3-picsimlab,
TypeScript layer is Vitest-only.
- DocsPage Esp32EmulationSection callout: section now applies to all
ESP32 family (Xtensa + RISC-V), pointer to RISC-V doc clarified.
README
- "Boards" table: production-engine column for ESP32-C3 family and
CH32V003 changed from "RiscVCore.ts (browser)" to "QEMU lcgamboa
(backend)".
- "ESP32-C3 / XIAO-C3 / SuperMini / CH32V003" subsection retitled
"(RISC-V via QEMU)" — body explains libqemu-riscv32 backend and
flags the TypeScript layer as Vitest-only.
The two remaining "browser-native" hits in the codebase
(Velxio25Page:176, index.html:348) are about ngspice-WASM SPICE
analog simulation, which genuinely is browser-native — left alone.
Build verified: npm run build:docker succeeds, 246 SEO pages prerender.

Foundation
- Add 7 token CSS files in src/tokens/ — semantic colors, 4-pt spacing,
Apple-HIG type ramp, radius/elevation/motion/z-index scales.
- Refactor src/index.css to import tokens and remap legacy aliases
(--accent, --bg, etc.) onto the new --color-* semantics so existing
components keep rendering during migration.
- Drop the duplicate font-family from src/App.css; body inherits from :root.
- Global *:focus-visible ring backed by --color-focus-ring (WCAG 2.4.7).
Webfonts (self-hosted)
- Add Inter.var.woff2 (variable, OFL) and JetBrainsMono.var.woff2 to
public/fonts/. Preloaded in index.html with crossorigin.
- Old stack -apple-system kept as fallback so Mac users still get SF Pro.
- Fixes cross-OS rendering inconsistency (Win/Linux/Android were falling
back to Segoe UI / Roboto, breaking the type grid).
Component primitives
- New src/components/ui/{Button,Card,Input}.tsx + .css. Built on the
semantic tokens, ready for incremental migration of .ap-* CSS classes.
Lucide icons
- Replace 6 inline SVG icon components in LandingPage (IcoChip / IcoCpu /
IcoCode / IcoZap / IcoLayers / IcoMonitor) with lucide-react imports.
Aliased so call sites are unchanged. ~80 lines of inline SVG removed.
- IcoGitHub kept bespoke (filled glyph, brand-correct).
Marketing assets
- Convert top 8 boards to transparent PNG + WebP at 1x / 2x:
Arduino Uno, Nano, Mega 2560, Pi Pico, Pi Pico W, ESP32-C3,
ESP32-DevKit-V1, XIAO ESP32-S3.
- Migrate matching cards in LandingPage and Velxio2Page to <picture>
with WebP > PNG > SVG fallback. Other 8 boards keep <img src=*.svg>
for now (Raspberry Pi 3B, ESP32-CAM, etc.).
- Refresh og-image.png — same canonical URL, new content (4 hero boards
+ branding instead of generic logo card).
- Fix latent bug in LandingPage: ESP32 DevKit V1 card was loading
esp32-devkit-c-v4.svg; now uses esp32-devkit-v1.{webp,png,svg}.
Build verified: npm run build:docker succeeds, 246 SEO pages prerender.

The directory grew well beyond Wokwi-only contents: it now hosts
lcgamboa's QEMU fork (qemu-lcgamboa), Espressif's esp32-camera, the
ngspice WASM build, fritzing-parts, picowi, an alternative QEMU
(qemu-esp32), the 100_Days_100_IoT_Projects examples repo, and
Wokwi's own avr8js/rp2040js/wokwi-elements/wokwi-features/wokwi-boards.
"wokwi-libs" was misleading — half the contents have nothing to do
with Wokwi. "third-party/" is the standard convention for vendored
external dependencies.
Mechanical changes:
Path rename:
wokwi-libs/ → third-party/
update-wokwi-libs.bat → update-third-party.bat
docs/WOKWI_LIBS.md → docs/THIRD_PARTY.md
Submodule reconfiguration:
.gitmodules — 4 path= and section names updated
.git/modules/wokwi-libs/ → .git/modules/third-party/
each submodule's .git file rewired to ../../.git/modules/third-party/<name>
Reference updates (~80 files): vite.config.ts aliases, Dockerfile
COPY paths, GH Actions workflow steps, build_qemu_*.sh, all
docs/* and test/*/autosearch/* entries that mention the path,
package-lock.json file: dependencies, .gitignore patterns,
sitemap.xml + index.html SEO blurbs, scripts/generate-component-*,
.dockerignore, .idea/vcs.xml. Bulk replaced both `wokwi-libs/`
(path) and bare `wokwi-libs` (textual mentions in docs/comments).
Verified:
- npx tsc -b --noEmit produces no new errors related to these paths
- vite.config.ts aliases now point at ../third-party/avr8js etc.
- All 4 git submodules (avr8js, rp2040js, wokwi-elements,
wokwi-features) are linked under third-party/ with their
worktrees re-populated and config files referencing the new path
- `grep -r wokwi-libs` returns zero hits outside node_modules,
.vite, frontend/dist, third-party/ (upstream submodule contents),
*.pyc caches, and *.dll.pre-camera rollback binaries
