Giga R1 Wifi: I installed micropython and Arduino C+, how can I get them to work together?

That is interesting and this article does indeed confirm the presence of an M7 and M4 core that can be programmed separately:

https://docs.arduino.cc/tutorials/giga-r1-wifi/giga-dual-core/

I had seen references indicating that the STM32H747XI is dual core, but didn't realise that they are different cores. The article does mention the ability to program each core separately, although the M4 core has to be enabled first. Memory has to be partitioned with a quantity allocated to each. Theoretically MicroPython could "live" on one of those partitions. However it seems that both cores share the same UART and GPIO pins, which would be interesting to program as one would need to carefully segregate GPIO pin usage between the cores. Whereas there is some indication in the article as to how one goes about selecting which core a sketch is uploaded to, it doesn't mention working with MicroPython.

This post is also related to ypur question and suggests that MicroPythin would be run on the M7 core and the Arduino sketch on the M4, but the process activating the M4 core from MicroPython is still under development.

Using MicroPython and Arduino code

Hello, On the Arduino website, they say that we can use Micropython in the M7 Core and Arduino code on the M4 Core at the same time with the Arduino GIGA and the Portenta H7. I got a few questions about that. First, on the Getting Started page, it is said that we need to call RPC.begin() in order to be able to boot up the M4 Core. I suppose then that there is no other way to make it boot automatically by itself when we power the board? Secondly, if we use MicroPython on the M7, how do I can r…
