The subdirectories above may include READMEs with additional info.
|
||||
We use [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/micropython/micropython/discussions)
|
||||
as our forum, and [Discord](https://discord.gg/RB8HZSAExQ) for chat. These
|
||||
are great places to ask questions and advice from the community or to discuss your
|
||||
MicroPython-based projects.
|
||||
|
||||
"make" is used to build the components, or "gmake" on BSD-based systems.
|
||||
You will also need bash, gcc, and Python 3.3+ available as the command `python3`
|
||||
(if your system only has Python 2.7 then invoke make with the additional option
|
||||
`PYTHON=python2`).

|
||||
|
||||
The MicroPython cross-compiler, mpy-cross
|
||||
-----------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Most ports require the MicroPython cross-compiler to be built first. This
|
||||
program, called mpy-cross, is used to pre-compile Python scripts to .mpy
|
||||
files which can then be included (frozen) into the firmware/executable for
|
||||
a port. To build mpy-cross use:
|
||||
|
||||
$ cd mpy-cross
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
|
||||
The Unix version
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
The "unix" port requires a standard Unix environment with gcc and GNU make.
|
||||
x86 and x64 architectures are supported (i.e. x86 32- and 64-bit), as well
|
||||
as ARM and MIPS. Making full-featured port to another architecture requires
|
||||
writing some assembly code for the exception handling and garbage collection.
|
||||
Alternatively, fallback implementation based on setjmp/longjmp can be used.
|
||||
|
||||
To build (see section below for required dependencies):
|
||||
|
||||
$ cd ports/unix
|
||||
$ make submodules
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
|
||||
Then to give it a try:
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./micropython
|
||||
>>> list(5 * x + y for x in range(10) for y in [4, 2, 1])
|
||||
|
||||
Use `CTRL-D` (i.e. EOF) to exit the shell.
|
||||
Learn about command-line options (in particular, how to increase heap size
|
||||
which may be needed for larger applications):
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./micropython -h
|
||||
|
||||
Run complete testsuite:
|
||||
|
||||
$ make test
|
||||
|
||||
Unix version comes with a builtin package manager called upip, e.g.:
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./micropython -m upip install micropython-pystone
|
||||
$ ./micropython -m pystone
|
||||
|
||||
Browse available modules on
|
||||
[PyPI](https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=search&term=micropython).
|
||||
Standard library modules come from
|
||||
[micropython-lib](https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib) project.
|
||||
|
||||
External dependencies
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Building MicroPython ports may require some dependencies installed.
|
||||
|
||||
For Unix port, `libffi` library and `pkg-config` tool are required. On
|
||||
Debian/Ubuntu/Mint derivative Linux distros, install `build-essential`
|
||||
(includes toolchain and make), `libffi-dev`, and `pkg-config` packages.
|
||||
|
||||
Other dependencies can be built together with MicroPython. This may
|
||||
be required to enable extra features or capabilities, and in recent
|
||||
versions of MicroPython, these may be enabled by default. To build
|
||||
these additional dependencies, in the port directory you're
|
||||
interested in (e.g. `ports/unix/`) first execute:
|
||||
|
||||
$ make submodules
|
||||
|
||||
This will fetch all the relevant git submodules (sub repositories) that
|
||||
the port needs. Use the same command to get the latest versions of
|
||||
submodules as they are updated from time to time. After that execute:
|
||||
|
||||
$ make deplibs
|
||||
|
||||
This will build all available dependencies (regardless whether they
|
||||
are used or not). If you intend to build MicroPython with additional
|
||||
options (like cross-compiling), the same set of options should be passed
|
||||
to `make deplibs`. To actually enable/disable use of dependencies, edit
|
||||
`ports/unix/mpconfigport.mk` file, which has inline descriptions of the options.
|
||||
For example, to build SSL module (required for `upip` tool described above,
|
||||
and so enabled by default), `MICROPY_PY_USSL` should be set to 1.
|
||||
|
||||
For some ports, building required dependences is transparent, and happens
|
||||
automatically. But they still need to be fetched with the `make submodules`
|
||||
command.
|
||||
|
||||
The STM32 version
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
The "stm32" port requires an ARM compiler, arm-none-eabi-gcc, and associated
|
||||
bin-utils. For those using Arch Linux, you need arm-none-eabi-binutils,
|
||||
arm-none-eabi-gcc and arm-none-eabi-newlib packages. Otherwise, try here:
|
||||
https://developer.arm.com/downloads/-/arm-gnu-toolchain-downloads
|
||||
|
||||
To build:
|
||||
|
||||
$ cd ports/stm32
|
||||
$ make submodules
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
|
||||
You then need to get your board into DFU mode. On the pyboard, connect the
|
||||
3V3 pin to the P1/DFU pin with a wire (on PYBv1.0 they are next to each other
|
||||
on the bottom left of the board, second row from the bottom).
|
||||
|
||||
Then to flash the code via USB DFU to your device:
|
||||
|
||||
$ make deploy
|
||||
|
||||
This will use the included `tools/pydfu.py` script. If flashing the firmware
|
||||
does not work it may be because you don't have the correct permissions, and
|
||||
need to use `sudo make deploy`.
|
||||
See the README.md file in the ports/stm32/ directory for further details.

||||

core library.

"make" is used to build the components, or "gmake" on BSD-based systems.

|
||||
(if your system only has Python 2.7 then invoke make with the additional option

`PYTHON=python2`). Some ports (rp2 and esp32) additionally use CMake.
|
||||
|
||||
Supported platforms & architectures
|
||||
-----------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
MicroPython runs on a wide range of microcontrollers, as well as on Unix-like
|
||||
(including Linux, BSD, macOS, WSL) and Windows systems.
|
||||
|
||||
Microcontroller targets can be as small as 256kiB flash + 16kiB RAM, although
|
||||
devices with at least 512kiB flash + 128kiB RAM allow a much more
|
||||
full-featured experience.
|
||||
|
||||
The [Unix](ports/unix) and [Windows](ports/windows) ports allow both
|
||||
development and testing of MicroPython itself, as well as providing
|
||||
lightweight alternative to CPython on these platforms (in particular on
|
||||
embedded Linux systems).
|
||||
|
||||
The ["minimal"](ports/minimal) port provides an example of a very basic
|
||||
MicroPython port and can be compiled as both a standalone Linux binary as
|
||||
well as for ARM Cortex M4. Start with this if you want to port MicroPython to
|
||||
another microcontroller. Additionally the ["bare-arm"](ports/bare-arm) port
|
||||
is an example of the absolute minimum configuration, and is used to keep
|
||||
track of the code size of the core runtime and VM.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, the following ports are provided in this repository:
|
||||
- [cc3200](ports/cc3200) -- Texas Instruments CC3200 (including PyCom WiPy).
|
||||
- [esp32](ports/esp32) -- Espressif ESP32 SoC (including ESP32S2, ESP32S3, ESP32C3).
|
||||
- [esp8266](ports/esp8266) -- Espressif ESP8266 SoC.
|
||||
- [mimxrt](ports/mimxrt) -- NXP m.iMX RT (including Teensy 4.x).
|
||||
- [nrf](ports/nrf) -- Nordic Semiconductor nRF51 and nRF52.
|
||||
- [pic16bit](ports/pic16bit) -- Microchip PIC 16-bit.
|
||||
- [powerpc](ports/powerpc) -- IBM PowerPC (including Microwatt)
|
||||
- [qemu-arm](ports/qemu-arm) -- QEMU-based emulated target, for testing)
|
||||

|
||||
- [rp2](ports/rp2) -- Raspberry Pi RP2040 (including Pico and Pico W).
|
||||

|
||||
External dependencies
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The core MicroPython VM and runtime has no external dependencies, but a given
|
||||
port might depend on third-party drivers or vendor HALs. This repository
|
||||
includes [several submodules](lib/) linking to these external dependencies.
|
||||
Before compiling a given port, use
|
||||
|
||||
$ cd ports/name
|
||||
$ make submodules
|
||||
|
||||
to ensure that all required submodules are initialised.
