Zerynth is a software implementation of the Python programming language for programming microcontrollers. It targets 32-bit microcontroller platforms and is designed to mix Python with C code.[1] It connects the microcontrollers to the Cloud for developing Internet of Things (IoT) products.[2]
Zerynth is made for designers, engineers, programmers and IoT professionals for product designing and ideation without focusing on low-level configurations and programming.
Ecosystem
Zerynth allows programming using Python or a hybrid C/Python approach on 32-bit microcontrollers such as ESP32, ESP8266, ARM Cortex M0+, ARM Cortex M3, ARM Cortex M4, and others. It is recommended by Espressif Systems and it is also an official 3rd party development tool of Microchip.[3] Zerynth is designed to link IoT platforms to Cloud services.[4]
Zerynth entered into a partnership with RS Components in order to provide access to Zerynth Studio to engineers on DesignSpark.[5]
Tools
Zerynth Virtual Machine is a multithreaded stack-based virtual machine designed to execute a custom Python bytecode.[6] It has a footprint of around 60-80kB of Flash and 3-5kB of RAM, depending on the target platform and platform SDK.[7] Zerynth VM allows development of Python programs that are independent of the hardware permitting code reusability and integration.[8]
Zerynth Studio is a free, open-source cross-platform IDE empowered by a command line toolchain for provisioning microcontrollers with a Zerynth VM and developing Python programs for it.[9][10]
Zerynth Advanced Device Manager (ADM) exposes an API-based interface to ease the cloud data forwarding, Firmware over-the-air (FOTA) updates,[11] and Remote Procedure Calling.[12] The software also has an app which allows users to prototype UI for devices programmed with Zerynth.[13]
