Can you rebase this on the 2026.05.x branch |

Oh, you did that update already. Sure, I can do that in a few hours. |
[Minux only change: also update .config] This allows us to fix packaging issue with micropython-lib, which was not packaging the correct versions of some libraries. The new version makes changes to the `manifestfile` tool/library used by our collect_micropython_libs.py script, which makes it easier to collect the correct library version. This fixes #166. To better support alternate use cases, the option to package the modules in unix-ffi has been split into a separate option, instead of assuming it's needed if and only if libffi is selected. Both the upstream changes and the unix-ffi split require changes to collect_micropython_libs.py. First, since we might not want the unix-ffi libraries, the script takes an extra argument for whether or not to include them. Next, since the manifest.require function no longer takes a unix_ffi optional parameter, we use manifest.add_library as recommended in the micropython-lib/unix-ffi directory README, if we are are actually packaging those libraries. All of the patches we have been maintaining have also been merged upstream by 1.28.0, so they are removed. Their respective Upstream: trailers all point to the relevant commits, except for 0003-Fixes-for-GCC-15-1-unterminated-string-literal-warning.patch, from micropython/micropython@ae6062a The LICENSE hash has been updated, as the year and the licenses used for the ports and libraries have also been updated in the LICENSE file.

This is in micropython-lib upstream but not yet in any releases. It isn't needed for any of the current OC2R micropython library, but it is needed for some of the PRs.
Things worked before because Micropython has built-in equivalents for all the libraries, we use, but the ones installed in /usr/lib are usually better.

Well that didnʼt go as intended; letʼs see if I can convince GitHub to use the same PR… |
|
Well for some reason changing the PR to be based on 2026.05.x meant I had to click the “edit title” button, but I did rebase it. Unfortunately I also found that the current oc2r devices library does not run on the micropython-lib JSON library even with the patch, because it treats I think with that it should work but Iʼm going to do some tests just to confirm. Alternately this should be good as-is without the last commit that updates |
I still don't know python so I still can't review that other PR. I manually cherry-picked the buildroot commit and then manually updated the config in another commit, because that will make rebasing on the next buildroot version easier. I also added the patch thing. |

Fixes #4.
This updates Micropython and the Micropython libraries, fixes a bug in the Micropython json library, and makes the libraries actually available for use instead of installed on the system but hard to access.
