+## Differences from [MicroPython](https://github.com/micropython/micropython)
+
+* Port for Atmel SAMD21 (Commonly known as M0 in product names.)
+* No `machine` API on Atmel SAMD21 port.
+* Only supports Atmel SAMD21 and ESP8266 ports.
+* Unified hardware API: [`nativeio`](https://circuitpython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/shared-bindings/nativeio/__init__.html), [`microcontroller`](https://circuitpython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/shared-bindings/microcontroller/__init__.html), [`board`](https://circuitpython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/shared-bindings/board/__init__.html), [`bitbangio`](https://circuitpython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/shared-bindings/bitbangio/__init__.html) (Only available on atmel-samd21 and ESP8266 currently.)
+* Tracks MicroPython's releases (not master).
+* No module aliasing. (`uos` and `utime` are not available as `os` and `time` respectively.)
+* Modules with a CPython counterpart, such as `time`, are strict [subsets](https://circuitpython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/shared-bindings/time/__init__.html) of their [CPython version](https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/time.html?highlight=time#module-time). Therefore, code from CircuitPython is runnable on CPython but not necessarily the reverse.
+* tick count is available as [`time.monotonic()`](https://circuitpython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/shared-bindings/time/__init__.html#time.monotonic)
+* `os` only available as `uos`
+* atmel-samd21 features
+    * RGB status LED
+    * Auto-reset after file write over mass storage. (Disable with `samd.disable_autoreset()`)
+    * Wait state after boot and main run, before REPL.
+    * Main is one of these: code.txt, code.py, main.py, main.txt
+    * Boot is one of these: settings.txt, settings.py, boot.py, boot.txt
