MicroPython upon Firmware

[ScottTorres]

I wonder if there is a possibility to use MicroPython as interpreter running on top of the firmware. Idea behind there is a existing firmware (ARM-Cortex M4) which manage all hardware resources (display, buttons, eeprom, motor inverter, etc...) and make them accessible to MicroPython? Or MicroPython is cosntructed to have direct access to all uC/board resources?

Yes this is absolutely possible. You can think of MicroPython as a library that you can build into any other program (firmware or even a regular program). Have a look at examples/embedding for an example.

You could also look at the Zephyr port (ports/zephyr) where MicroPython runs on top of an existing RTOS.
