+# Experimental debugging environment using emulation on host
+
+It is possible to run or debug this library on a unix-like computer (Linux,
+macOS, WSL) without flashing on hardware, and with your favourite debugging
+tools (gdb, valgrind, ...).  This is accomplished through the
+esp8266/Arduino "emulation on host" environment.
+
+A fake AsyncWebserver library is needed because lwIP is not yet ported to
+the emulation environment.  Full instructions can be found in this project's
+[readme page](https://github.com/d-a-v/emuAsync).

 ## Changelog for 2.1:
 
  - Adds the ability to have inline styles for widgets and panels
