This is primarily intended to provide testing of Thumb-specific code within Travis CI as well as if anyone else want to run it locally. As discussed in purposes. This is currently agains an emulated Cortex-M3 core, however in the near future it can extended to support M0, M0+ as well M4 (work in progress exists in sushihangover/qemu). It's probably true that most of the code base can be covered running uPy natively on a POSIX system, however we do have the tiny bit of assembly code. There may exist bugs related to endianness and type aliases, let alone potential standard library or compiler bugs or even architecture-specific optimisations. This could also incorporate lwIP (or other TCP/IP stack) integration as well as SDIO+FATFS drivers. The solution to inline the test cases was chose due to simplicity. It could alternatively be implemented in a number of different way (see #515), but this looked the simplest. Inclusion of tinytest was just to avoid writing boilerplate code for counting failed tests and other utility functions. Currently only a few functions are used, however this could be extended. Checking in the code instead of using submodule was a personal preference, but if people do want the pain of submodules, this can provided. This particular framework is also pretty good if one desires to run unit test on target. The approach with scripts being inlined is probably not quite suited for the size of memory an MCU has, but the tinytest itself should be good, if lower-level C code is to be unit tested. |

The Micro Python project
This is the Micro Python project, which aims to put an implementation of Python 3.x on a microcontroller.
WARNING: this project is in its early stages and is subject to large changes of the code-base, including project-wide name changes and API changes.
See the repository www.github.com/micropython/pyboard for the Micro Python board.
Major components in this repository:
- py/ -- the core Python implementation, including compiler and runtime.
- unix/ -- a version of Micro Python that runs on Unix.
- stmhal/ -- a version of Micro Python that runs on the Micro Python board with an STM32F405RG (using ST's new Cube HAL drivers).
- teensy/ -- a version of Micro Python that runs on the Teensy 3.1 (preliminary but functional).
Additional components:
- bare-arm/ -- a bare minimum version of Micro Python for ARM MCUs. Start with this if you want to port Micro Python to another microcontroller.
- stm/ -- obsolete version of Micro Python for the Micro Python board that uses ST's old peripheral drivers.
- unix-cpy/ -- a version of Micro Python that outputs bytecode (for testing).
- tests/ -- test framework and test scripts.
- tools/ -- various tools, including the pyboard.py module.
- examples/ -- a few example Python scripts.
"make" is used to build the components, or "gmake" on BSD-based systems. You will also need bash and Python (at least 2.7 or 3.3).
The Unix version
The "unix" port requires a standard Unix environment with gcc and GNU make. x86 and x64 architectures are supported (i.e. x86 32- and 64-bit), as well as ARMv7. Porting to other architectures require writing some assembly code for the exception handling.
To build:
$ cd unix
$ make
Then to test it:
$ ./micropython
>>> list(5 * x + y for x in range(10) for y in [4, 2, 1])
Debian/Ubuntu/Mint derivative Linux distros will require build-essentials and libreadline-dev packages installed. To build FFI (Foreign Function Interface) module, libffi-dev package is required. If you have problems with some dependencies, they can be disabled in unix/mpconfigport.mk .
The STM version
The "stmhal" port requires an ARM compiler, arm-none-eabi-gcc, and associated bin-utils. For those using Arch Linux, you need arm-none-eabi-binutils and arm-none-eabi-gcc packages from the AUR. Otherwise, try here: https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded
To build:
$ cd stmhal
$ make
You then need to get your board into DFU mode. On the pyboard, connect the 3V3 pin to the P1/DFU pin with a wire (on PYBv1.0 they are next to each other on the bottom left of the board, second row from the bottom).
Then to flash the code via USB DFU to your device:
$ dfu-util -a 0 -D build/flash.dfu
You will need the dfu-util program, on Arch Linux it's dfu-util-git in the AUR.
