It provides subset of Python 3.3 features, implemented for embedded processors and constrained systems. Micro Python also provides reference hardware board to run the interpreter. ### The Kickstarter board -The board relies on a 32 bit ARM Cortex M4 CPU (STM32F405RG, DSP with FPU,1 Mbyte Flash, 168 MHz). Technical data on the chip can be found here: [STMicroelectronics website](http://www.st.com/web/catalog/mmc/FM141/SC1169/SS1577/LN1035/PF252144) and the datasheet can be found here: [datasheet](http://www.st.com/st-web-ui/static/active/en/resource/technical/document/datasheet/DM00037051.pdf) +The board relies on a 32 bit ARM Cortex M4 CPU (STM32F405RG, DSP with FPU, 1 Mbyte Flash, 168 MHz).
