Here's a project that would be a perfect fit for the EvalBot: Python-on-a-chip (or p14p for short). It's a tiny version of the Python interpreter for microcontrollers. I've tried it before on various architectures, but the problem always was the relatively high RAM requirements. I only had 4 to 8 KB to spare, and that's not enough for p14p. The EvalBot has 96 KB however, which should allow running quite complex Python programs. There's no drivers (Python modules) for the EvalBot, obviously, so that's something that needs to be done first.

Well, that is a good thing. Guess we'll make use of that one.

Is there a way to use the external storage for it?

You could read and write files on the SD card by integrating a FAT filesystem driver, such as EFSL or FatFs.

Is there a way to use the external storage for it? I've looked through it - it's pretty simple to feed it applications from external memory, or, even via network. Yet, I really wonder if multitasking via some simple rtos kernel AND python can be achived.
