<h1>Blinka</h1>
<p>
Blinka brings CircuitPython APIs and, therefore, libraries to single board computers (SBCs). It is a <a href="https://pypi.org/project/Adafruit-Blinka/">pip installable Python library</a> that runs in normal "desktop" Python. The CircuitPython runtime isn't used. <a href="https://pypi.org/search/?q=adafruit-circuitpython">Libraries</a> can also be installed via pip. See <a href="https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-on-raspberrypi-linux"> the guide</a> for further details.

<h2>CircuitPython libraries on single board computers</h2>
<p>
Most CircuitPython libraries also work on <a href="/blinka">single board computers (SBCs)</a>, such as the Raspberry Pi.
Linux runs "desktop" Python (commonly known as CPython) instead of CircuitPython.
Our CPython Blinka library provides CircuitPython's low level hardware APIs, such as `digitalio`.
</p>
<p>
Blinka and CircuitPython libraries are just a `pip install` away.
