Obsolete stuff in the repository #117

Closed robert-hh closed 6 years ago

robert-hh commented 6 years ago

This repository contains a lot of stuff, which is not needed, just to mention a few of the TLD's: bare-arm cc3200 docs esp8266 examples logo minimal pic16bit qemu-arm ~~stmha~~l teensy unix windows zephyr

They could be removed.

Xykon commented 6 years ago

Some of these can definitely be removed though I believe we are using some code from the stmhal directory. I'll talk to @danicampora to see what he thinks.

robert-hh commented 6 years ago

I made a test-clean and build (for LoPy) yesterday. There are indeed a few files in stmhal and a the sx127x subdir in drivers which were needed. Some others, like in examples or drivers/display, may still be useful. But without verification they create more confusion than help.

Xykon commented 6 years ago

Sorry it took a while to get back on this, I had a discussion with Daniel at the time and we decided to keep the entire micropython project as is. You should consider this as a snapshot of the official micropython repository with modifications made to support our boards, rather than a firmware specifically for our (or generic) esp32 boards.

robert-hh commented 6 years ago

That may be ok. But the question is: snapshot of what? The micropython.org repository has developed a lot since then, and there is also the Loboris branch, which is widely used. So effectively it is a firmware version specifically for Pycom's boards.
