mpytool

MPY tool - manage files on devices running MicroPython

It is an alternative to ampy

Target of this project is to make more clean code, faster, better verbose output...

Installation

pip3 install mpytool

Examples:

help:

$ mpytool --help

list files:

$ mpytool -p /dev/ttyACM0 ls
$ mpytool -p /dev/ttyACM0 ls lib

tree files:

$ mpytool -p /dev/ttyACM0 tree

upload file or whole directory:

$ mpytool -p /dev/ttyACM0 put boot.py
$ mpytool -vp /dev/ttyACM0 put app/lib
$ mpytool -vp /dev/ttyACM0 --exclude-dir build --exclude-dir dist put app/src light_control

view content of file or download:

$ mpytool -p /dev/ttyACM0 get boot.py
$ mpytool -p /dev/ttyACM0 get net.py >> net.py

make directory, erase dir or files:

$ mpytool -p /dev/ttyACM0 mkdir a/b/c/d xyz/abc
$ mpytool -p /dev/ttyACM0 delete a xyz

reset only, reset and follow output, REPL mode:

$ mpytool -p /dev/ttyACM0 reset
$ mpytool -p /dev/ttyACM0 reset follow
$ mpytool -p /dev/ttyACM0 repl

Examples using API from Python

>>> import mpytool
>>> conn = mpytool.ConnSerial(port='/dev/ttyACM0', baudrate=115200)
>>> mpy = mpytool.Mpy(conn)
>>> mpy.ls()
[('ehome', None), ('boot.py', 215), ('net.py', 2938), ('project.json', 6404)]
>>> mpy.mkdir('a/b/c')
>>> mpy.ls()
[('a', None),
 ('ehome', None),
 ('boot.py', 215),
 ('net.py', 2938),
 ('project.json', 6404)]
>>> mpy.get('boot.py')
b"import time\nimport net\n\nwlan = net.Wlan()\nwlan.refresh_network()\n\nwhile wlan.ifconfig()[0] == '0.0.0.0':\n    time.sleep(.1)\n\nprint('IP: ' + wlan.ifconfig()[0])\n\nimport ehome.ehome\n\nehome.ehome.start('project.json')\n"
>>> mpy.delete('a/b')

Verbose and debug output

use -v or -vv to show verbose output (like currently processing file, ..)

  • normally print only errors (red)
  • -d print warnings (yellow)
  • -dd print info messages (purple)
  • -ddd print debug messages (blue)

for reporting bugs, please provide in to issue also -ddd messages

MPYTOOL vs other tools

for test used: ESP32S2 over USB 2MB RAM and 4MB FLASH:

recursive put of 30 files in 4 folders, 70KB total:

  • mpytool: 12.3s
  • mpremote: 16.5s
  • ampy: 79.3s
  • rshell: 81.1s

Requirements

Working only with MicroPython boards, not with CircuitPython

  • python v3.6+
  • pyserial v3.0+

Running on:

  • Linux
  • MacOS
  • Windows (REPL mode is disabled)
