Compile Micropython with Ulab on SAMD51 Thing Plus #14017
-
|
Hello everybody, I'm looking for a way to compile Micropytohn with ulab in firmware for a teaching project. I tried to follow the guidelines in the Micropython and Ulab documents and forums as well. On the Sparkfun forum, I was recommended to use an AI to help with this task, but I was not successful either. Would it be possible to compile the firmware this way (Micropython + Ulab) for SAMD51 Thing Plus? Do you know of any step-by-step instructions for this? I'm using Windows 11, and I tried the following steps: I downloaded MSYS2 from the website: https://www.msys2.org/ file: msys2-x86_64-20240113.exe I installed Python 3.11.8 and several other programs: I cloned both repositories: I copied the ulab code files (c and h) to the micropython extmod folder. To better organize it, I created a folder called "ulab" there. I made some settings in the files, which I honestly don't understand: and then perform the following commands: I sincerely apologize if the topic is not relevant, but I've been looking for Ulab in Micropython for a while and I haven't found any ready-made build (Micropython+Ulab) that I can use in SAMD51 Thing Plus and Teensy4.1 |

I really appreciate the help, I started using WSL2 on Windows and the process was quite simple. As for compiling the ulab, I still had some problems. Repeat the process of compiling the firmware and finally I'm not sure if this is the intended way to compile micropython with ulab, but it seemed to work. There was an error in the process and I asked for help for from the owner and maintainer of the ulab repository. Thank you to everyone involved. |

@LeandroFernandes88 Next time, please, do not cross-post! It's OK, if you mention an issue on multiple platforms, but use only links, if you want to do so. I've replied here v923z/micropython-ulab#665, but since you asked the same question here without pointing people to that post, no-one had an idea, what kind of progress you were making, or what you had already tried. By fragmenting efforts, you're doing a huge disservice to everyone involved, yourself included. |

I am deeply sorry for this, and I sincerely apologize. I'm not familiar with this type of firmware build operation. I consider the ulab library very important and the efforts of everyone involved in making it accessible to Micropython and other IDEs fundamental for maintaining the ecosystem. I just didn't know how to compile it as an additional module. And I had no idea if I was using the commands appropriately. I probably imagine that most of the errors that have occurred are due to my inexperience in the matter. |
