Build Wireless Products Faster with Zephyr and MicroPython
summary
Canvas Software Suite puts Zephyr at the core and embeds MicroPython as a thread so developers get Zephyr’s fully qualified BLE, networking and MCUboot features while writing application logic in Python; examples include a 60‑line BLE peripheral and central, a UWB ranging demo with three anchors and 3D visualization, and a Centrius MG100 gateway using SMP over BLE plus MCUboot and LwM2M object 5/9 for cloud firmware updates. Files live on littlefs in QSPI, Python apps ship as zip with SHA‑256, and devices report microamp sleep currents.
