Welcome to the micropython dev wiki!
This is the [MicroPython](http://micropython.org/) project, which puts an implementation of Python 3.x on a microcontroller or embedded system. The project also includes a small [microcontroller board](https://github.com/micropython/pyboard) based around the STM32F405RG chip.

This wiki is to support development of the MicroPython core code and the various ports to new hardware.

###What is MicroPython
MicroPython is Python interpreter (with partial native code emission feature). It provides subset of Python 3.4 features, implemented for embedded processors and constrained systems.

###Boards
The Kickstarter board
The Kickstarter board (Pyboard)
* The board relies on a 32 bit ARM Cortex M4 CPU (STM32F405RG, DSP with FPU, 1Mbyte Flash, 128+64 Kbyte RAM, 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)

### I want to try using MicroPython now!
If you have a machine that runs some flavor of Unix, see the [[Getting-Started]] instructions on how to obtain the binary to run MicroPython and start developing. MicroPython can also built on MacOSX and Windows.
