MicroPython WebAssembly
MicroPython for WebAssembly.
Dependencies
Building webassembly port bears the same requirements as the standard MicroPython ports with the addition of Emscripten (and uglify-js for the minified file).
The output includes micropython.js (a JavaScript wrapper for the
MicroPython runtime) and firmware.wasm (actual MicroPython compiled to
WASM).
Build instructions
In order to build micropython.js, run:
$ make
To generate the minified file micropython.min.js, run:
$ make min
Running with Node.js
Access the repl with:
$ node build/micropython.js
Stack size may be modified using:
$ node build/micropython.js -X stack=64K
Where stack size may be represented in Bytes, KiB or MiB.
MicroPython scripts may be executed using:
$ node build/micropython.js hello.py
Alternatively micropython.js may by accessed by other javascript programs in node using the require command and the general API outlined below. For example:
var mp_js = require('./build/micropython.js');
mp_js_init(64 * 1024);
mp_js_do_str("print('hello world')\n");
Running with HTML
The prerequisite for browser operation of micropython.js is an element with
the id mp_js_stdout which receives print events. The following code
demonstrates basic functionality:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="build/micropython.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id='mp_js_stdout'></div>
<script>
mp_js_stdout.addEventListener('print', function(e) {
document.write(e.data);
}, false);
mp_js_init(64 * 1024);
mp_js_do_str('print(\'hello world\')');
</script>
</body>
</html>
MicroPython code execution will suspend the browser so be sure to atomize usage within this environment. Unfortunately interrupts have not been implemented for the browser.
Testing
Run the test suite using:
$ make test
API
The following functions have been exposed to javascript.
mp_js_init(stack_size)
Initialize MicroPython with the given stack size in bytes. This must be called before attempting to interact with MicroPython.
mp_js_do_str(code)
Execute the input code. code must be a string.
mp_js_init_repl()
Initialize MicroPython repl. Must be called before entering characters into the repl.
mp_js_process_char(char)
Input character into MicroPython repl. char must be of type number. This
will execute MicroPython code when necessary.
