Python snakes its way to the Arduino Portenta H7 @arduino @micropython

Looks like Arduino will be supporting Python in some way very soon, maybe?! In the promo video it lists “MicroPython” and on the overview page “MicroPython / JavaScript via an interpreter” it’s available for pre-order for $99.

This is a powerful STM32H747XI dual Cortex®-M7+M4 32bit chip that runs pretty fast – SDRAM was added, and flash storage. If you’re going to want to get TinyUSB running on this thing, we have support for the STM32 H7 series.

The Portenta kinda reminds us of the Pyboard D-series with STM32F767 and WiFi/BT from MicroPython, it has similar connectors on the bottom, fast chip, Wifi/BT, etc.
