This article compiles a list of the classes that fall under the Maix class MaixPy, the MicroPython of the Sipeed M1W dock suit board (Figure 1) previously mentioned.
Reading board information
First, let’s check the features of Sipeed M1W dock suit board with the following code which will produce the result as shown in Figure 2.
import sys
import gc
import os
import sys
import time
from Maix import freq
def show_hw_info():
uname = os.uname()
mem_total = gc.mem_alloc()+gc.mem_free()
free_percent = "("+str((gc.mem_free())/mem_total*100.0)+"%)"
alloc_percent = "("+str((gc.mem_alloc())/mem_total*100.0)+"%)"
stat = os.statvfs('/flash')
block_size = stat[0]
total_blocks = stat[2]
free_blocks = stat[3]
rom_total = (total_blocks * block_size)/1024
rom_free = (free_blocks * block_size)/1024
rom_usage = (rom_total-rom_free)
rfree_percent = "("+str(rom_free/rom_total*100.0)+"%)"
rusage_percent = "("+str(rom_usage/rom_total*100.0)+"%)"
print("implementation ....:", sys.implementation)
print("path ..............:", sys.path)
print("Python ............:", sys.version)
print("Platform ..........:",sys.platform)
print("Memory")
print(" total ..........:",mem_total/1024,"KB")
print(" usage ..........:",gc.mem_alloc()/1024,"KB",alloc_percent)
print(" free ...........:",gc.mem_free()/1024,"KB",free_percent)
print("ROM")
print(" total ..........:", rom_total,"KB" )
print(" usage ..........:", rom_usage,"KB",rfree_percent )
print(" Free ...........:", rom_free,"KB",rusage_percent )
print("system name .......:",uname.sysname)
print("node name .........:",uname.nodename)
print("release ...........:",uname.release)
print("version ...........:",uname.version)
print("machine ...........:",uname.machine)
cpu_freq, kpu_freq = freq.get()
print("CPU/KPU freq ......: {}/{}MHz".format(cpu_freq, kpu_freq))
gc.enable()
gc.collect()
show_hw_info()
Now let’s try and find out how to find primes from numbers in the range 2000 with the following code and get an example of the result shown in Figure 3. It will take 569msec.
# Untitled - By: cid - Thu Sep 9 2021
import gc
import os
import sys
import machine as mc
import time as tm
import image, time, lcd
lcd.init(freq=15000000)
gc.enable()
gc.collect()
clock = time.clock()
#mc.freq(400000000)
def isPrime(x):
i = 2
while (i < x):
if x%i == 0:
return False
i = i+1
if (i == x):
return True
return False
def testPrimeNumber(maxN):
counter = 0
t0 = tm.ticks_ms()
for n in range(2, maxN):
if isPrime(n):
counter+=1
t1 = tm.ticks_ms()
print("Found {} in {} msecs.".format(counter,abs(t1-t0)))
testPrimeNumber(2000)
Maix Class

From this article, Sipeed M1W‘s Maix class consists of internal sub-markets related to board I/O, I2S processing, audio, FFT, and MIC Array. This enables convenience and high availability because the board itself has a TFT display interface, a microSD reader, and a camera mount as mentioned in the previous article. The details of the usage of each class will be discussed in the following articles. Finally, have fun with programming.
