ULP support

[tuftec]

During the GOINVENT roadshow in Melbourne last year, there was an announcement/discussion about support for ULP control functionality directly within Pycom micropython.
It was promoted by Fred as being a simple clean control interface.
Has this mechanism been implemented yet?
If so, how do we use it?

I am looking for a solution that enables me to use the ULP from directly within micropython without the need to rebuild new versions of the pycom core core.

A solution that would enable a precoded ULP module in binary form to be loaded and then intiated from micropython would be great.

Also tools to help with coding of the ULP would be fantastic.

Can someone provide an unpate on the availability of this feature?

I am aware that other implementations of micropython have made progress in this area.
