In the last months I ported Micropython to the Raspberry Pi. Micropython is an embedded Python interpreter, which already runs on ARM Cortex-M processors. I had to understand the build process, alter it as to target the Raspberry Pi processor and fix some annoying bugs and glitches. The...

This article is about the Raspberry Pis Processor, the ARM1176jzf-s. It is a 32 Bit ARM-processor, with ARMv6-architecture. It has a VFPv2 Floating Point Unit, can run Java Bytecode natively (Jazelle), can run Thumb(1) code, can use both little and big endian-data, has an MMU and many things...

In a previous post [1] I commented on how to port the Micropython Interpreter to the Rasperry Pi. There I went over the basics of porting Micropython to a new hardware and showed some ways on how to configure your port. This post builds upon that foundation and uses the Micropython which did...

This article is in English for I hope it will be useful for someone who tries to port Micropython to new hardware as I do here. Micropython [1] is a very small Python interpreter, which can run on very restricted hardware. The pyboard is based on an STM32-F04 ARM processor,...

Hallo. ChibiOS/RT [1] ist ein sehr kleines Realtime-Operating System. Es unterstützt Plattformen, die Linux bspw. nicht mehr abdeckt und kann für allerlei Spielerei benutzt werden. ChibiOS/RT kann keine Prozesse zur Laufzeit erstellen oder nachladen, Programme für das...

Hallo. Aktuell beschäftige ich mich mit dem Raspberry Pi und dem enthaltenen BCM2835-Chip, sowie mit ARM-Assembler. Dazu verfolge ich dieses Tutorial der Cambridge University [1]. Das Tutorial führt in...
