Intel MRAA/UPM Sensor Framework

[brotherdust]

So, I was playing around with an Intel Edison board I got from a friend today; getting it set up for Python3 development (since I've gotten used to it from MicroPython), and stumbled upon this:
https://github.com/intel-iot-devkit/upm

Which is built on this:
https://github.com/intel-iot-devkit/mraa

The reason I am bringing this up is that this framework has Python bindings (see: https://github.com/intel-iot-devkit/upm/tree/master/examples/python), has drivers for just about every sensor I've ever heard about (see: https://github.com/intel-iot-devkit/upm/tree/master/src list), and is (relatively platform agnostic). It even has drivers for the Semtech 1276. As a matter of "not re-inventing the wheel" would it make sense to port this into MicroPython? I can't help but wonder how much development effort would be saved by being able to leverage this software.

I admit I am ignorant of the magnitude of effort required to do this, but I figure it doesn't hurt to ask.

Thanks all!

I read comment in commits but i misinterpret it?
cpp_headers: Rename ds18b20 header .h -> .hpp

Interesting especially that it is C++ not C :)

I am curious how you formed that impression. Based on my (admittedly cursory) review, it appears to be predominantly C. I could be wrong, though. =\
