Hi,

I'm pretty new to MicroPython, so my question may be stupid, but I didn't find any information so far.

I'm having an ARM-based machine running a pretty stripped down Linux.
Due to resource limitations, I cannot use a full blown python installation, this is why I am interested in running Micropython on this Linux.

It seems like all arm-ports are specifically made to run on microcontroller boards.
Is there a unix-like port for ARM which I am missing?

Thanks in advance,
fish

The Unix port should work on all variants of Unix, including ARM Linux.

The point being that the Unix port is always built from source so the tools on your Linux port will build for the local arch.

It might be slightly more difficult to build it on really small Linux boards, such as the Allwinner F1C100s ones with 32 MB RAM or less. I'm not sure if they even have room for a toolchain
