Description-en: Unix/Linux port of MicroPython for board-independent use on the host
The Unix port of MicroPython allows testing of programs intended for
microcontrollers on the local Debian host machine (except for hardware-specific
parts). It can also be used as another, tiny but mostly compatible, Python 3
runtime for small scripts (but it comes with FFI and JNI support). This port
uses optimised assembly code on ARM/Thumb, MIPS, i386 and amd64, and
setjmp/longjmp-based fallback code on all other architectures.
