MicroPython[2] is a software implementation of the Python 3 programming language, written in C, that is optimized to run on a microcontroller.[3][4] MicroPython is a full Python compiler and runtime that runs on the micro-controller hardware. The user is presented with an interactive prompt (the REPL) to execute supported commands immediately. Included are a selection of core Python libraries; MicroPython includes modules which give the programmer access to low-level hardware.[2]
MicroPython was originally created by the Australian programmer and physicist Damien George, after a successful Kickstarter backed campaign in 2013.[5] While the original Kickstart campaign released MicroPython with a pyboard microcontroller, MicroPython supports a number of ARM based architectures.[6] MicroPython has since been run on Arduino platform based products,[7][8] ESP8266,[9] ESP32,[10] and Internet of things[11][12][13][14] hardware. In 2016 a version of MicroPython for the BBC Micro Bit was created as part of the Python Software Foundation's contribution to the Micro Bit partnership with the BBC.[15]
In 2017, Microsemi made a MicroPython port for RISC-V (RV32 and RV64) architecture.[16]
The source code for the project is available on GitHub.[17]
