Getting started and creating projects with Python

[Transidico]

Good morning,
I would like to start working with Python for the MCXN947 board, creating my environment on VScode. On Vscode I installed the MCUXpresso extension and imported the sdk from github, but I see that they are all examples in c.

How can I get started with Python? Are there examples for python too? Do I have to install MicroPython?

Is there a step-by-step guide explaining what I need to do and how to start creating my own projects?

Thank you

Hi @Transidico 

unfortunately, the MCXN947 board is typically programmed in C/C++ with the MCUXpresso SDK, so Python-based development options are limited.

You may need to adapt MicroPython’s general instructions to your board, as there’s no official guide tailored to MCXN947.

Hi,

thank you for your reply,

could you please send me a quick guide on how to start a c project easily on the frdm-mcxn947 board?

I also ask you which micro family using MCUXpresso is compatible with python.

thank you very much.

Hi @Transidico 

1. The following link is Getting Started with FRDM-MCXN947.

2. i.MX RT Series: The i.MX RT series, especially popular models like the i.MX RT1020, RT1050, and RT1060, supports MicroPython, which allows you to write Python code directly for the microcontroller. These chips have enough memory and performance to run MicroPython smoothly.
