beginning with micropython

Post by ashok449 » Wed Oct 22, 2014 6:28 am

Hello All,

I'm a beginner for micropython and I would like to know what all the things required for micropython build for Ubuntu linux PC.
details like: Ubuntu linux version and micropython package and build procedure etc...
Any URL/link will be appreciable. I'm planning to port it on STM32F4 device.

Thanks for the support
Ashok

The information you need to start building micropython is in the README at https://github.com/micropython/micropython
The same README file is in the top-level directory of the source code.
You should be able to build the unix port on any reasonably current version of Ubuntu. To build the stmhal port (for the pyboard) you need the GCC ARM cross compiler, try here: https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/ ... ux.tar.bz2

If you are just planning to use the pyboard and want the latest firmware, you can download it here: http://micropython.org/download/

Are you planning to run micropython on a different board than the pyboard that also runs an STM32F4xx processor? It then becomes a little bit more involved, but there are several users on the forum who have done this as well.
