WIZNET5K implementation for raspberry pi pico

[blacky99]

Hello everybody,

looking at the official documentation I saw that WIZNET chips are supported.
https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/ ... NET5K.html

I would like to use this chip on my raspberry pi pico but the network module is not available.

Thanks to the raspberrypi forum I found a repository with the micropython version compiled with the network module.

https://github.com/Wiznet/RP2040-HAT-Mi ... tag/v1.0.4

I would like to understand better why it is not officially supported in the official repository with the port on raspberry.

There is still a Pull Request #8021 open since Nov 2021 to integrate it into the master line, but there was no activity there. See https://github.com/micropython/micropython/pull/8021
Sometimes it can take a while until PR's are integrated, especially if there is little response from the community. A short glance at the PR shows quite a few changes not related to the WIZNET5K implementation, like splitting up machine_spi.c or machine_pin.c, and changes to the Pin module. Even of that may be reasonable, it must not be part of this PR.

Thank you

We hope it will be implemented soon
