PicoOS Devlog

After many hours of coding, I finally decided to post my first devlog.

What’s New?

There are so many new things that I don’t even know where to start…

Cleaner Code Structure

I wanted to make the code much cleaner, so I split the project into smaller modules. This makes PicoOS easier to maintain, easier to read, and much more organized.

Improvements

Fixed the app installation system
Nano is now working properly
Improved the overall project structure

New System Information Tool

I added a new utility that displays useful information about your device, including:

CPU information
RAM usage
Flash memory usage

New Installer

I’m getting PicoOS ready for everyone to try, so I created Installator.py.

The installer can:

Automatically download the latest version of MicroPython for your device
Flash the firmware
Connect using mpremote
Upload all required PicoOS modules
Let you configure your system before the first boot

This makes installing PicoOS much easier.

Plans for Tomorrow

Here are a few things I want to work on next:

Improve the GitHub repository
Create a better README
Build a website with installation tutorials and documentation
Hopefully publish the first official release of PicoOS

Preview

Below you can see a preview of the new code structure and the installer.
