MicroPython Forum (Archive)

For sure there is a room for several Python implementations for microcontrollers. What is great in MicroPython it sticks to the original Python philosophy I mean interactivity, no separate compilation, what is good for rapid prototyping, hobby projects, etc. On the other hand a traditional cross too...

Microchip's MPIDE and compilers are free, the only issue is the optimization levels, -O2 is available only in the commercial PRO version while free you get only -O1 . Except the 60 days trial period.

I just built 1.3.10 in Linux (x86). I still had to disable libffi, but the readline issue is gone, it works now.

Thanks for answers. dsPIC sounds interesting. Any more info available somewhere on this?

PIC32 MIPS is an exciting target. These chips can offer resources required for microPython. It would be great to have it on chipKIT boards, I have them.

Are there uPython ports to other architectures, like AVR or MIPS? I mean uC boards, not Unix or so.

What is the operational temperature range of pyboard and other components you are planning to use? Not sure they are appropriate for car use.

It is not a symlink problem. Disabling ffi and readline it builds and works, so it is a linking issue. Will review make.

Thanks for advices. pkgconfig and libffi-dev installed. In fact it is my development environment used to build many packages without such issue.

BTW, libs are symlinked to loop mounted squash archives which can be a problem. Will try w/o symlinks.
