In the last months I ported Micropython to the Raspberry Pi. Micropython is an embedded Python interpreter, which already runs on ARM Cortex-M processors. I had to understand the build process, alter it as to target the Raspberry Pi processor and fix some annoying bugs and glitches. The...

Adding a module to Micropython

Using Micropython on your own hardware, like I do on Raspberry Pi, is quite a challenge. First of all you have to port Micropython. But when it runs on your platform you will probably need some module for Python, to extent the language itself by some functionalities only accessible in C or...

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,...
