Boards supported by BIPES and status.
Please note that the steps listed here are required only once, to load MicroPython, CircuitPython or SocketServerWebREPL on the target device. Moreover, some stores are already shipping boards with MicroPython or CircuitPython already flashed. In these cases, none of the steps here are needed.

stm32 / mbed | MBed devices can be used with BIPES thanks to MicroPython implementation. There are some ready-to-use MicroPython firmware for MBed devices – NUCLEO-32, NUCLEO-64, NUCLEO-144, and DISCOVERY boards by boochow. To use, first go to the URL https://blog.boochow.com/micropython-firmware-for-mbed-boards, select a firmware, download it, extract and connect the MBed board to your PC. Then, simply copy the .bin file to the MBed USB Disk. My STM32nucleo, for example, shows as NODE_F446RE thumb drive. After copying the firmware, your MBed Serial port should have a working MicroPython console/shell. You can test it with any terminal emulation program. Next, simply use WebSerial version of BIPES and connect to the board using the Console tab: https://bipes.net.br/beta2serial/ui/ |

Generic x86 / Linux device, or even Windows! | This instruction applies to any Linux-based device! It can be a Raspberry Pi, a BeagleBone, Toradex Board, or even a PC! The key is to use SocketServerWebREPL, which gives a Python console over WebSocket to BIPES, allowing the blocks to be converted into Python code and run on the target machine, over the network. First, download and execute SocketServerWebREPL. Using a terminal, issue the following commands: git clone https://github.com/BIPES/SocketServerWebREPL.git Next, go to BIPES and build your program by blocks. Then go to the Console tab, type the correct IP and port of your Linux device, and connect (default password is bipes). Next, simply click Run, and the program will be converted into Python, sent to the device, and executed. The output can be seen on the terminal. You can execute SocketServerWebREPL on your local machine, and connect to localhost, so testing is easier. |
