Native emitter deep dive

Post by jimmo » Mon Jul 19, 2021 1:42 am

Scott (tannewt) from Adafruit was kind enough to invite me onto the weekly "CircuitPython Deep Dive" live stream and we dove into MicroPython's native code generator (the "native emitter") in order to fix a mis-compilation bug that had been recently reported. Might be interesting to anyone who wants to know more about how this process works or how to go about this sort of debugging in MicroPython.

That is a seriously deep dive. Interesting, but rather you than me ;)

Very cool, thank you Jim and Scott! Apart from the technical insights, it’s also great to see the collaboration between the MicroPython and CircuitPython teams.
