bare metal Raspberry Pi Zero port

[boochow]

Since I have been adding no code to my repo this year, the code you see on the github is the latest one.

How difficult would it be to bring the code up to the current version of MicroPython?

No difficulties.
I just have updated the repository and now it can be built with MicroPython v1.11.

I've updated to MicroPython 1.12 on my fork:
https://github.com/ZuluSpl0it/micropython-raspberrypi
and I've put in a pull request to get it on the parent repo.

I was trying to enable the Native emitter by changing the options in mpconfigport.h. I've tried

#define MICROPY_EMIT_THUMB (1)
and
#define MICROPY_EMIT_ARM (1)

the @micropython.native decorator is now recognized, but the raspi Zero W hangs.

While running a performance test (just incrementing a variable in a loop for 1 second and then reporting the total):

On a ESP8266 I get:
No Optimization Count: 30278
Just preloading class Count: 45119
Native emitter only Count: 45440
Preload class plus Native emitter Count: 81750


On the raspi Zero W I get:
No Optimization Count: 43886
Just preloading class Count: 71338
then it just hangs for the function with the @micropython.native decorator

Any ideas on what I can try? Or am I enabling the wrong options?

can you please help

I'm trying to create a bare-metal usd card for my Pi zero, I'm pretty sure I created the usd card as per the detail
but all I see is the rainbow screen on the pi.

Just to confirm - all I have on the USD is shown below :-

build folder with firmware.img
bootcode.bin
config.txt
start.elf

Any ideas

Are you able to connect via the REPL? Did you use the main repo or a fork to build?
