The Micro Python project
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
This is the Micro Python project, which aims to put an implementation
|
|
of Python 3.x on a microcontroller. The project also includes a small
|
|
microcontroller board based around the STM32F405RG.
|
|
|
|
Major components:
|
|
- py/ -- the core Python implementation, including compiler and runtime.
|
|
- unix/ -- a version of Micro Python that runs on Unix.
|
|
- stm/ -- a version of Micro Python that runs on the Micro Python board
|
|
with an STM32F405RG.
|
|
- pybv3/ -- schematics, gerbers and EAGLE files for revision 3 of the
|
|
Micro Python board.
|
|
|
|
Additional components:
|
|
- unix-cpy/ -- a version of Micro Python that outputs bytecode (for testing).
|
|
- tests/ -- test framework and test scripts.
|
|
- tools/ -- various tools.
|
|
|
|
"make" is used to build the components.
|
|
|
|
The Unix version
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
The "unix" part requires a standard Unix environment with gcc. It works
|
|
only for 64-bit machines due to a small piece of x86-64 assembler for
|
|
the exception handling.
|
|
|
|
To build:
|
|
|
|
$ cd unix
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
Then to test it:
|
|
|
|
$ ./py
|
|
>>> list(5 * x + y for x in range(10) for y in [4, 2, 1])
|
|
|
|
The STM version
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
The "stm" part 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 stm
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
Then to flash it 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.
