We first covered TinyGo in 2019, and the project is still going strong with 17.7k stars, 1.1k forks, and 243 contributors. I just made a few edits and added illustrations and a few links to the article. TinyGo 0.42 adds support for the Puya PY32 family of 32-bit Arm microcontrollers. The new port includes startup code, generated device-register definitions, linker scripts, GPIO and UART support, and targets for 87 individual MCU configurations. It also includes board definitions for two inexpensive EmbedFire development boards available from AliExpress. The port was contributed by Pavel Burgr and merged through TinyGo pull request #5106. One motivation was to establish a solid, easy-to-use firmware platform for small IoT devices built around the Registry service and the BleRiot [...] The post TinyGo 0.42 adds support for 87 Puya PY32 MCU variants and two EmbedFire boards appeared first on CNX Software - Embedded Systems News.
