fork-mission-statement

This fork is terminated, boochow now has dedicated repo for FBConsole: https://github.com/boochow/FBConsole

This fork is only intended to make raspberrypi/modules/FBConsole.py usable (again) for ESP MicroPython with SSD1306 Oled. Main usecase is MicroPython REPL redirection to Oled:

import machine, ssd1306
i2c = machine.I2C(scl=machine.Pin(4), sda=machine.Pin(5))
oled = ssd1306.SSD1306_I2C(128, 64, i2c)

from FBConsole import FBConsole
console = FBConsole(oled)
os.dupterm(console)

micropython-raspberrypi

MicroPython on bare metal Raspberry Pi Zero / Zero W

How to build

git clone https://github.com/boochow/micropython-raspberrypi.git
cd micropython-raspberrypi
git submodule update --init
cd micropython; git submodule update --init; cd ..
cd raspberrypi; make

Options

1. MICROPY_HW_USBHOST=1 to enable USB keyboard support.
2. MICROPY_MOUNT_SD_CARD=1 to mount SD card on /sd in the boot sequence.

How to install

1. download bootcode.bin and start.elf from https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/tree/master/boot
2. copy bootcode.bin and start.elf to the root of your microSD card
3. copy build/firmware.img to the root of your microSD card
4. copy build/config.txt to the root of your microSD card. (if config.txt already exists, edit it to add a line kernel=firmware.img.)
