Hi I was asked to look into the possibility of running a set of cpython programs on our ARM cortex M3 using the CMSIS RTOS. Right now the system collects sensor data and downloads it to a PC where it is processed into digital signal images. This is a slow process and they would like to be able to do this data processing on board the ARM processor.
I do not have any experience with cpython or python and have just started to look into it. I am hoping the it is simply python with a C wrapper around it that I can compile and link with the existing code.
Has anyone every attempted to do something like this?
I would really appreciate any ideas or suggestions you may have about how I can/should approach this issue.

Hi
Was out of town at NASA all last week so I have been able to look at your responses until now.
These are great suggestions. I have a lot to look at. I need to see if there is a better way to get these algorithms that the digital analysis guys want to/are implementing.
I did start reading the Wiki and cpython websites and I will look at the others this week.
Thank you for your help/suggestions .
