We’re finally starting to get pretty decent compatibility for ARM64-based operating systems, which is really awesome and makes SBCs (single-board computers) very useful in the modern world. But these boards are still pricey and they take a long time to boot, which is frustrating if you only need the basics without a lot of processing power. That’s why a team is hard at work developing MicroPythonOS for microcontrollers.
MicroPython has been around for a while now and is pretty mature at this point. It brings the user-friendliness of Python to microcontrollers. MicroPythonOS is built on a native MicroPython foundation, so it should mirror that compatibility and work on any supported microcontroller—namely ESP32 variants.
Of course, ESP32 microcontroller specs differ…
