New to MicroPython, question about RAM.

[jimmo]

So, if I have modules that dont typically change a lot, e.g backend or "kernel-like" modules that dont change much, I should put them in the firmware.

Yup, exactly.

Where can I find documentation on how to do that? Easily? I'm running windows so, its always harder

95% of the complexity is just being able to build the firmware. Unfortunately I don't know much about Windows, but it's definitely been discussed on the forum a bunch before. (And I guess the other option is to use WSL?) https://github.com/micropython/micropyt ... /README.md has the actual compiling instructions.

Then when you can do that, you run the build with a manifest.py of your choice. Have a look at ports/stm32/manifest.py for an example. You can put this anywhere on the filesystem (i.e. in your own git repo).

Code: Select all

make BOARD=PYBV11 FROZEN_MANIFEST=path/to/mymanifest.py

See this doc.

There's a good explanation of the concepts there, but unfortunately hasn't been updated for the new manifest system (endless list of documentation to be written...). But see https://github.com/peterhinch/micropyth ... /fastbuild for some more info about manifest.py
