micropython.uf2 is lagging behind. #13

Micropython has had several releases since your pimoroni-yukon-v1.0.1-micropython.uf2 release. Please can you inform if you are going to produce a more up to date release. Thank you. Also can you inform if its possible to use one of the micropython standard releases, perhaps the one for the rpi pico instead of the Pimoroni one?

You cannot use the MicroPython standard releases, Yukon's firmware is customized to avoid any spicy runaway robot problems.

For this same reason, we're not quick to adopt changes since those changes need migrated across.

Is there a specific feature or fix which you're needing from a more recent version of MicroPython?

For posterity, the full diff between our MicroPython and the latest release is:

https://github.com/micropython/micropython/compare/b88262ce96c3433a02b2c8d984ba01e071b60c1f...v1.22.2

And the changes to the bleeding edge version:

https://github.com/micropython/micropython/compare/b88262ce96c3433a02b2c8d984ba01e071b60c1f...master

At this point there are enough in-progress commits that we'll probably wait for an official v1.23 release.

@ZodiusInfuser tells me there are some more recent builds here:

https://github.com/pimoroni/yukon/actions/runs/8897562982

Based on a branch building against a slightly updated version of our MicroPython fork here:

https://github.com/pimoroni/yukon/tree/ci/micropython-edge

Which gets us this far from v1.22.2 - https://github.com/micropython/micropython/compare/ae6c33a1dda01d5b36b8f5c9e8e0bd3425ba796a...v1.22.2

Thanks for replying to this @Gadgetoid!

@beetlegigg I've done some initial tests of that build, but would welcome more eyes on it to catch any mistakes I may have made in the upgrade process.

@Gadgetoid @ZodiusInfuser Thanks for the info. As far as the mp version on yukon is concerned the desire to update was just to keep the same version on all my boards to avoid any confusion I may get myself into using different versions of mp on rp2040 based boards.
I've gone ahead and updated to ae6c33a-dirty on 2024-04-30, and will probably have an initial look at my new yukon sometime at the weekend. It makes sense to await the mp V1.23, which seems imminent, before updating to your next official yukon release, but happy to have a go with your latest 'in progress' version and will report back if I find anything amiss.
