ESP32-C3 RISC-V microcontroller information leaked

It’s very cool to see a high power RISC-V core from espressif. CircuitPython won’t work on it, unfortunately, because the USB is a built-in usb to serial converter, so folks won’t be able to do mass storage with it. Longer term, it might be able to support CircuitPython with a BLE-only CircuitPython workflow. No word on a MicroPython port possibility. More info – Hackaday.

This week saw me doing guide work for some upcoming sensors, as well as new driver work for the MLX90395 3-axis magnetometer from Melexis. This is a neat sensor, similar in use to the TLV493D as it is designed for measuring the orientation and position of magnetic fields from magnets. It will be fun to see how this can be used for new and interesting motion detection or sensing projects!

Dan

I did the final steps for the CircuitPython 6.0.0 stable release on Monday evening last week. Thanks to all who worked on and tested this really significant release!

I am continuing to work on light sleep and deep sleep in CircuitPython, after significant work by Scott and @microDev. We iterated on the API, and I’m now doing the boilerplate for that API. As soon as that compiles, I will then implement deep sleep for a time duration on the ESP32-S2 as the first case. Scott and microDev1 have done a lot of the internal work already, so I hope that part will not take long. Then I’ll work on deep sleep for pin transitions, and then light sleep for both durations and pins.

I did some bug fixing on ESP32-S2 during the past week. First, I fixed a problem which prevented CircuitPython on the ESP32-S2 from connecting to certain secure websites, including thingspeak and Adafruit IO. Second, I fixed a problem where the board would become unstable after using an I2C device. Both are working much more stably now!

Kattni

This week I published the Which CircuitPython Board is Right for You? guide. This guide is designed to help you choose between CircuitPython boards based on different features such as WiFi enabled, Bluetooth enabled, built in display or tiny boards. It also has a page explaining the differences between the different chipsets available on CircuitPython compatible boards, and the pros and cons of each. If you’ve held off getting started with CircuitPython because you were overwhelmed by the choice of boards, or you’re a seasoned pro trying to decide which board to get, this guide is for you!

I also tested an update to the PyBadger library. Thanks to @foamyguy, it now supports the new MagTag board. If you’re looking to use your MagTag as a badge, check out the example included with this update.

This past week I fixed the Raspberry Pi 1.3” display driver. When it was in orientations other than zero degrees, the display was offset by 80 pixels. I rewrote the Device Tree Overlay based on a similar one we had for the 1.14” display, which was my first experience working on a Device Tree Overlay.

I added a few improvements to the MagTag library based on feedback from a few projects that were converted to work on it. My goal with this library was to make it extensible, but easy to develop on. One of the projects I made while developing this was a bitcoin display.

I’ve also been getting back into working on some of the web-based tools such as making a few fixes to my existing code and I started working on an online ESP Tool. The ESP tool would allow you to upload a bootloader and have it program your ESP board. It’s not currently working, but I am debugging it at the moment.

This past week I’ve been doing my best to run down bugs CircuitPython. At the end of last week I was looking into adding grayscale eInk support and also found and fixed a couple bugs in our grayscale conversion. As of this morning, they are all merged into the main branch of CircuitPython.

Adafruit

We just released 6.0.0 stable, which is stable for our core platforms, SAMD21, SAMD51 and nRF52840. However, it isn’t stable on the ESP32-S2 yet. So, I’ve been doing my best to find and fix issues. I attempted to release our first 6.1.0-beta.0 but it turned out to include a pretty nasty bug. So, I’m hoping to do a beta.1 today. Folks, with ESP32-S2 boards like the MagTag should continue to use the latest pre-release. It’ll be better than 6.0.0 for the -S2.

This period of bug squishing happens for every new port we do for CircuitPython. Once we’re through it, things should be very exciting. The -S2’s native USB combined with WiFi and new low power API promises to bring CircuitPython’s ease of use to a whole new class of long-running, connected applications.

Micropython 1.10 Release – Vast improvements to native emitter, new nrf port, unified documentation.

In this release there are a wide range of improvements and additions to both the core and the ports. In the core the main improvement was to the native emitter to have much more comprehensive support for general Python features, such as generators and complex exception handling, and the generated machine code is smaller and retains its efficiency. Elsewhere, fuzzy testing was used to find and eliminate some corner-case bugs, user classes were optimised when they don’t use special accessors, underscores in numeric literals are now supported (PEP515), and the uio.IOBase class was added to allow user defined streams.

For the extended modules there is now a VfsPosix filesystem component, a new ucryptolib module with AES support, addition of ure.sub() and of uhashlib.md5, and the lwIP socket implementation now has working TCP listen/accept backlog.

Compared to the last release the minimal baseline core code size is reduced by about 2.2%, down by roughly 1500 bytes for bare-arm port and 3500 bytes for minimal x86 port. Most other ports have increased in size due to the addition of new features (eg ucryptolib, ure.sub).

The stm32 port sees the introduction of a new bootloader — mboot — which supports DFU upload via USB FS, USB HS, as well as a custom I2C protocol, and also support to program external SPI flash. There is significant refactoring of the USB device driver, improved VCP throughput, and support for 2x VCP interfaces on the one USB device. lwIP has been integrated, and support added for SDRAM. Cortex-M0 CPUs are now supported along with STM32F0 MCUs.

For the esp8266 port the heap is increased by 2kbytes, the radio is automatically put to sleep if no WLAN interfaces are active, and the UART can now be disconnected from the REPL and its RX buffer length configured. Upon soft-reset sockets are now cleaned up.

The esp32 port has added support for external SPI RAM, PPPoS functionality, improved performance and stability when using threads, and other general bug fixes.
There is a new nrf port for Nordic MCUs, currently supporting nRF51x and nRF52x chips.

The docs have now been unified so there is just one set of documentation covering all ports. And initial documentation for the esp32 port is added.

There are two changes at the Python API level that are not backwards with previous versions:

Adafruit Industries Llc Ports Virus

  • uos.dupterm now requires that a stream passed to it is derived from uio.IOBase (or is a native stream object).
  • The esp32 neopixel driver has had its default timing changed from 400kHz to 800kHz; existing code that didn’t explicitly specify the “timing” parameter in the NeoPixel constructor may need to be updated to specify this as “timing=0” to get 400kHz timing.
