Porting Micropython to the Raspberry Pi - Part 2

In a previous post [1] I commented on how to port the Micropython Interpreter to the Rasperry Pi. There I went over the basics of porting Micropython to a new hardware and showed some ways on how to configure your port. This post builds upon that foundation and uses the Micropython which did...

Porting Micropython to Raspberry Pi

This article is in English for I hope it will be useful for someone who tries to port Micropython to new hardware as I do here. Micropython [1] is a very small Python interpreter, which can run on very restricted hardware. The pyboard is based on an STM32-F04 ARM processor,...
