Installing dependencies

You will need the linkle (https://github.com/MegatonHammer/linkle) program to convert to the NRO format needed by the Switch:

You can use a Nintendo Switch software emulator such as suyu https://suyu.dev/ to test your programs.

Building code

Build your Nintendo Switch programs using -target nintendoswitch like this:

tinygo build -o main.elf -target nintendoswitch examples/serial

Once you have created the ELF file, convert it into the NRO format using linkle:

linkle nro main.elf main.nro

You can now use the NRO file with your emulator or flash it onto your physical hardware.
