General discussions and questions abound development of code
with
MicroPython that is not hardware specific.
Target audience: MicroPython Users.
I've built a few micropython kernels for the STM32F405 boards using the PYBV11 as a template. However, the message listed on boot says something like "dirty-xxxx" where xxxx appears to be some hash.
If I remove the .git folder, this goes away. Is there some flag I can set so I can leave the .git directory and remove the "dirty" word?
Thanks,
'dirty' probably means you have modified files, with respect to the last commit in git. Committing those changes, or undoing them, would make the 'dirty' go away. Not sure how much you know about git, but you'd run e.g 'git status' on the commandline when in the micropython directory to see which files are modified, 'git diff' to see the changes, etc.
Use '.' if you really want to deinitialize all submodules
Did a bit searching and there seems to have been several changes to this command. I only installed Micropython about a month ago, is my git out of date?
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
(use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
modified: extmod/moduhashlib.c
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
ports/esp32/makefile
ports/stm32/boards/WEACT_F411CEU6/
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
I'll sort those.
Thanks
I did a "git status" and it did correctly report the changed files. I added an additional directory for my board (which is a derivative of the PYBV11).
My problem is that I would like to update the repo, but I'm scared to do this as I don't want to mess things up.
I do have my own repo (github/aerosynth) but I don't know how to update it from my PC.
Should I commit my files on the host pc then push? It's not clear in any of the git docs I have.
Also, since I forked my repo with the micpython repo, how would I update my own repo? again, I'm scared to mess up the micrpython repo.
Once I do this, will I no longer get "dirty" flags?
