MicroPython port to Zephyr RTOS
|
|
|
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is an initial port of MicroPython to Zephyr RTOS
|
|
|
|
|
(http://zephyrproject.org).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The port integrates well with Zephyr build system, using the latest
|
|
|
|
|
features which will be available in 1.6.0, and thus requires Zephyr
|
2016-10-28 14:51:18 -04:00
|
|
|
master to build against. All boards supported by Zephyr (with standard
|
|
|
|
|
level of feature support, like UART console) should work with
|
|
|
|
|
MicroPython (but not all were tested).

|
|
|
Features supported at this time:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* REPL (interactive prompt) over Zephyr UART console.
|
|
|
|
|
* `utime` module for time measurements and delays.
|
|
|
|
|
* `machine.Pin` class for GPIO control.
|
|
|
|
|
* "Frozen modules" support to allow to bundle Python modules together
|
|
|
|
|
with firmware. Including complete applications, including with
|
|
|
|
|
run-on-boot capability.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Over time, bindings for various Zephyr subsystems may be added.

Building
|
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Follow to Zephyr web site for Getting Started instruction of installing
|
|
|
|
|
Zephyr SDK, getting Zephyr source code, and setting up development
|
|
|
|
|
environment. (Direct link:
|
|
|
|
|
https://www.zephyrproject.org/doc/getting_started/getting_started.html).
|
|
|
|
|
You may want to build Zephyr's own sample applications to make sure your
|
|
|
|
|
setup is correct.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build MicroPython port, in the port subdirectory (zephyr/), run:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
make BOARD=<board>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you don't specify BOARD, the default is `qemu_x86` (x86 target running
|
|
|
|
|
in QEMU emulator). Consult Zephyr documentation above for the list of
|
|
|
|
|
supported boards.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
Running
|
|
|
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-10-28 14:51:18 -04:00
|
|
|
To run the resulting firmware in QEMU (for BOARDs like qemu_x86,
|
2016-10-10 14:21:45 -04:00
|
|
|
qemu_cortex_m3):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
make qemu
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
For deploying/flashing a firmware on a real board, follow Zephyr
|
2016-10-10 14:21:45 -04:00
|
|
|
documentation for a given board.

Quick example
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To blink an LED:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
import time
|
|
|
|
|
from machine import Pin
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
LED = Pin(("GPIO_1", 21), Pin.OUT)
|
|
|
|
|
while True:
|
|
|
|
|
LED.value(1)
|
|
|
|
|
time.sleep(0.5)
|
|
|
|
|
LED.value(0)
|
|
|
|
|
time.sleep(0.5)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The above code uses an LED location for a FRDM-K64F board (port B, pin 21;
|
|
|
|
|
following Zephyr conventions port are identified by "GPIO_x", where *x*
|
|
|
|
|
starts from 0). You will need to adjust it for another board (using board's
|
|
|
|
|
reference materials). To execute the above sample, copy it to clipboard, in
|
|
|
|
|
MicroPython REPL enter "paste mode" using Ctrl+E, paste clipboard, press
|
|
|
|
|
Ctrl+D to finish paste mode and start execution.
