PikaScript is an ultra-lightweight Python engine with zero dependencies and zero-configuration, that can run with 4KB of RAM and 32KB of flash (such as STM32G030C8 and STM32F103C8).
It's very easy to bind C function to python module with the help of Pika Pre-compiler.Only write the API of python in .pyi and the bindings are autoly generated by Pre-compiler.
The Pre-compiler is fully open-source, and the source code is in the tools folder.
Generator url: http://pikascript.com
Note: You need the Community Edition license (Now Free) to build Keil projects, and the version of Keil should be newer than v5.36.
Use Pika package manager PikaPackage.exe
Run the PikaPackage.exe directly, then the pikascript repo would be downloaded auto in the /tmp/pikascript folder of your current disc partition.
Add requestment.txt to the same folder of PikaPackage.exe then run PikaPackage.exe. The run-time core, pre-compiler and moudles would be installed in the current folder.
Released modules:packages.toml
You can use simulation project to quick start without hardware,or use the out-of-the-box develop board Pika-Pi—Zero.
The board based on STM32G030C8T6 MCU, only 64kB Flash, 8kB RAM can run PikaScript with total peripheral device (GPIO、TIME、IIC、RGB、KEY、LCD、RGB). CH340 is deployed to support USB to serial with Type-C USB, support download python script py serial, there are 4 RGB on the board and support the LCD.

Refer to the 20K RAM and 64K Flash of STM32F103C8T6, less than 25% RAM and less than 50% Flash are used.
A quick comparison can be made between the microPython's MCU STM32F405RG and the PikaScript's MCU STM32G070CB.
Reference price comparison (take the selling price of 10 pieces in Lichuang Mall on September 11, 2021 as reference)
In addition to device drivers, developing custom Python modules for MCU is very easy. The following two demos are extensions of the custom module, which developed python interfaces for the ARM-2D image driver library.
