Add C extensions to MicroPython
To make it easier for users to add their own C functions to MicroPython, which could be invoked in Python scripts, a MicroPython C binding code-generator(https://summergift.top/RT-MicroPython-Generator/) is provided by RT-Thread. With this tool, the C function extensions can be implemented in just a few simple steps, and the following image shows the form of the automatically generated C code.
Note
· Only available on RT-Thread V3.0 and above.
· Select the latest version of Micropython in the menuconfig.
· Currently, the ffi component in System Module is only supported by the GCC toolchain and adding the relevant segment information into the link script is required.
