Is Lora-e5/STM32WL SoC compatible with micropython ?

[Rotavap]

Hi everyone,

I was looking for a cheap and easy way to implement Lora in a project and for that I choose the Lora-E5 Soc which uses ST system-level package chip STM32WLE5JC, embedded high-performance LoRa® chip SX126X. For more details, have a look here.

Here is the DevBoard :



After looking on the micropython website, I was not able to find any firmaware to flash the STM32WLE5JC MCU with micropython. So my question is pretty simple : Has anyone already managed to deploy Micropyton on the Lora-E5 module? Is the radio module function well?

Thank you in advance for your answers,

Rota.

Yes, we've managed to flash MicroPython on the LoRa-E5, but it's still early days. The work is captured in PR 7212. We haven't yet tested LoRa on the device though.

Still working on it when time permits...

Thank you for your answer ! So, does that means that today there is no micropython firmware for a SoC integrating the Lora radio module?

Thank you also for your job on the lora-e5 firmware, this is exactly what I was looking for ! You say you still working on it, what remains to be done? Do you think the lib https://github.com/wybiral/micropython-lora which permits to control a Semtech SX127x LoRa module over SPI can allow to use the Lora module without no additionnal work on your firmware?
