How to analyze, in view of this problem, this article introduces the corresponding analysis and solutions in detail, hoping to help more partners who want to solve this problem to find a more simple and easy way.

In the i.MX RT1050 EVK development board to achieve such a reading board 6-axis sensor information and system CPU utilization and other information, real-time display to the web page effect, guess how much code is needed?

In fact, RT-Thread 's colleagues used the RT-Thread MicroPython software package to make only some line connections and hit a few commands to achieve it!

What is MicroPython?

MicroPython is a concise and efficient implementation of the Python 3 programming language, which contains a subset of the Python standard library and is optimized to run in microcontrollers and restricted environments. It can run on a development board with certain resources and can be used to control a variety of electronic systems.

The goal of MicroPython is to be as compatible with ordinary Python as possible, allowing developers to easily move code from the desktop to microcontrollers or embedded systems.

What can MicroPython do to speed up product prototype verification

Compared with traditional development methods, using MicroPython can speed up the prototype verification process and make prototype verification easier.

When developing some functions of the Internet of things, we can make use of many ready-made MicroPython network function modules to save development time.

Simplify hardware testing

Burn the MicroPython firmware into the new hardware to be tested. When checking welding, wiring and other problems, you only need to use a simple Python command to test the hardware function.

Programming education

MicroPython is easy to use, easy to use, and very suitable for beginners in programming. School students or amateurs can quickly develop some fun projects through MicroPython, learn programming ideas and improve their hands-on ability in the process of development.

Suitable for creators' DIY creative projects

MicroPython is easy to set up, without special software environment and additional hardware, and can be programmed with any text editor. Most hardware functions can be driven with a single command, so you don't need to know the underlying hardware to develop quickly. These features make MicroPython very suitable for DIY creative projects.

What are the advantages of RT-Thread MicroPython

1. RT-Thread MicroPython uses the upper API provided by the RT-Thread operating system, so it does not rely on a specific development board, and can run on any embedded platform that is equipped with the RT-Thread operating system (RT-Thread version 3.0 or above) and has certain resources (RT-Thread MicroPython occupies a maximum of no more than ROM: 190KB RAM: 8K).

2. RT-Thread has a good hardware abstraction layer, so it is very easy to access and control the underlying hardware through RT-Thread MicroPython.

3. Because of the simplicity of Python language, it reduces the difficulty of programming and the threshold of embedded programming, so that more people can experience the fun of embedded programming.

4. The commonly used peripherals and functions are supported by corresponding modules, and the required functions can be realized by simple Python programming.

Demo example of i.MX RT1050 EVK development board

This example is to show the hardware control and network communication functions of RT-Thread MicroPython on the i.MX RT1050 EVK development board. A Web server is established by using MicroPython on the development board, and the 6-axis sensor information and system CPU utilization information on the development board are read and displayed to the web page in real time. The operation procedure is as follows:

Burn the firmware to the development board and extract the sd_card.rar contents to the SD card root directory

Insert the SD card and restart the development board

Plug the network cable into the development board

Open the terminal tool and connect to the serial port of the development board

In MSH, use the ifconfig command to view the IP address of the development board

Enter the python command to enter the MicroPython interactive command line

Start the Web server using the import start command

Open the browser, enter the IP address of the development board in the address bar and enter, and you can see the real-time information of the development board system displayed on the Web page.

The following is the demo video:

In the example, the i.MX RT1050 EVK development board MicroPython firmware can be downloaded from a forum post: https://www.rt-thread.org/qa/thread-7009-1-1.html

RT-Thread MicroPython firmware list

The following is a list of BSP and hardware features already supported by RT-Thread MicroPython. You can log in to the forum (https://www.rt-thread.org/qa/thread-6997-1-1.html) to download the firmware of the corresponding development board and view the instructions for use.

This is the end of the answer on how to analyze the question. I hope the above content can be of some help to you. If you still have a lot of doubts to be solved, you can follow the industry information channel to learn more about it.
