Adding a C/C++ Module to MaixPy

Introduction

Sometimes we need to execute a function efficiently, and the speed of Python cannot meet the requirements. In such cases, we can use C/C++ or other compiled languages to implement the function.

General Function Encapsulation

If the function you want to encapsulate does not depend on other functionalities of MaixPy, you can directly use the general method of adding C/C++ modules with Python, such as ffi, ctype, etc. You can search for relevant methods online.

If Your Module Needs to Depend on Other Basic APIs of MaixPy

Method One: Directly Modify MaixPy Firmware， Refer to Viewing MaixPy API Source Code for guidance.
