Micro Python port to ESP8266
============================
This is a port of Micro Python to the Espressif ESP8266 wifi module.
Currently implemented features include:
-
REPL (Python prompt) over UART0.
-
24k heap RAM available for Python code.
-
Garbage collector, exceptions.
-
Unicode support.
-
Builtin modules: gc, array, collections, io, struct, sys.
-
C long-long type used as bignum implementation (gives 64 signed ints).
Note that floating-point numbers are not supported.
On the TODO list:
-
Wifi support.
-
GPIO support.
-
Internal filesystem using the flash.
-
...
Build instructions
------------------
The tool chain required for the build is the OpenSource ESP SDK, which can be
found at
<https://github.com/pfalcon/esp-open-sdk>
. Clone this repository and
run
`make`
in it's directory to build and install the SDK locally. T
Then, to build Micro Python for the ESP8266, just run:
```
bash
$
make
```
This should produce binary images in the
`build/`
subdirectory. To flash them
to your ESP8266, use:
```
bash
$
make deploy
```
This will use the
`esptool.py`
script to download the images. You must have
your ESP module in the bootloader, and connected to a serial port on your PC.
The default serial port is
`/dev/ttyACM0`
. To specify another, use, eg:
```
bash
$
make
PORT
=
/dev/ttyUSB0 deploy
```
The images that are built are:
-
`firmware.elf-0x00000.bin`
: to be flashed at 0x00000
-
`firmware.elf-0x10000.bin`
: to be flashed at 0x10000
There is also a combined image, made up of the above 2 binary files with the
appropriate padding:
-
`firmware-combined.bin`
: to be flashed at 0x00000
