Q: MicroPython on Particle Photon / Electron?

Post by ubiq_01 » Mon Feb 29, 2016 10:54 am

It would be very interesting to run MicroPython on a Particle Photon or Electron (with STM32F205 120Mhz ARM Cortex M3
1MB flash, 128KB RAM - https://www.particle.io/prototype) - especially with the Electron where the used 2G or 3G modem
is able to do TLS itself and without being dependant on the MCU => I assume very many IoT scenarios will use it.

I've also seen the "Viper" project (https://github.com/viper-dev/Viper) that has support for the Photon (replacing the original firmware)
in place.

Are there any activities for support in MicroPython? Somebody working on it?

There was a pull request some time ago to support the Photon, see: https://github.com/micropython/micropython/pull/1378. But since then there has been no activity (that I know of).
