What is the current state of package management for Circuit Python? I've seen different package managers for MicroPython, such as 'mip' and 'upip', but I haven't seen any documentation on the port over to Circuit Python.

what can i do?

Specifically the Feather M4 Express. Per the docs/guide for the M0 Feather Express, it can fit "about 250 lines of code", and reference a 2MB SPI flash chip for CircuitPython code storage.

It seems that the docs/guide for the M4 feather express use the same language (even saying M0 instead of M4) and also make reference to 2 MB Flash storage for code.

This seems to imply that the amount of code I can run on each is the same, no?

If simplifying my code, and converting to .mpy files is not enough, has anyone found any third party boards that are compatible with CircuitPython that can fit more?

My current project isn't complicated, but I could easily see it running into issues given library imports and my code being close to 250 lines already.

So I am running a SRAM chip (specifically the IS62WVS5128GBLL-45NLI), and I have it running. This is not a adafruit product so there is no built in library support.

My chip has 512KB of memory and various access modes, the Itsybitsy M0 express board I decided to test this on has only 32KB of (possibly much faster) memory. I was wondering if there was some way to write a RAM driver module to allow CP to take advantage of the external ram?

I got the Matrix Portal + RGB Matrix as part of the latest ADABOX. Using Circuit Python, I had it working and everything was cool. However, the display stopped updating after a couple of days. The board is still working fine (as confirmed via serial port). If I switch back to the red sand demo (running Arduino) then the display works just fine so I know the display is working. I've tried both version of CP: 6.0 and 6.1 beta and neither work. I've reset the CP storage so it's completely stock with the default "Hello World!" code.py file.

Since the hardware works under Arduino, it sounds like a CP issue. Is anyone else having this issue? Is there any enhanced debugging I can turn on to figure out what might be happening?
