Zerynth provides Python support for Spresense microcontroller board from Sony
Great news for all Python developers – Zerynth has just added Python support for Sony’s Spresense development board. This provides a third development environment option alongside the already existing Arduino IDE and the C-based SDK.
The Spresense microcontroller board is a unique combination of computing ability and power efficiency. Bringing Python support makes Spresense accessible to a new segment of developers interested in solutions ranging from IoT and sensor control to real-time analysis and edge computing.
With the Python implementation from Zerynth comes a set of developer tools that simplify the development process:
- Zerynth Studio
IDE used to create Python and C/Python apps, available for Windows, Linux, and Mac. Developers also have the option to use the command-line interface. - Zerynth VM
The Zerynth Virtual Machine installed on Spresense, with a tiny footprint of just 60k-80kB of Flash and 3-5kB of RAM. - Zerynth ADM
A Cloud service to administer and update connected devices. - Zerynth App
A customizable mobile app to control Zerynth powered hardware such as Spresense.
