Is MiroPython's inline assembler expected to work on microcontrollers
only? I don't get any example run on micropython-1.19 on Debian/pi1.

PEBCAK?

An example from the online doc:

| $ cat quad.py
| @micropython.asm_thumb
| def quad(r0):
| b(START)
| label(DOUBLE)
| add(r0, r0, r0)
| bx(lr)
| label(START)
| bl(DOUBLE)
| bl(DOUBLE)
|
| print(quad(10))
| $ /opt/micropython/bin/micropython-standard quad.py
| Traceback (most recent call last):
| File "quad.py", line 1, in <module>
| SyntaxError: invalid micropython decorator

* Inline Assembler for the Unix Port

Invalid micropython decorator on Unix port #4675 \\ https://github.com/micropython/micropython/issues/4675

TL;DR: It boils down to building the desired variant with an additional
define:

#+begin_example
make CFLAGS_EXTRA='-DMICROPY_EMIT_INLINE_THUMB=1' VARIANT=...
#+end_example

Testing with an example from the docs...

#+begin_example
$ cat quad.py
@micropython.asm_thumb
def quad(r0):
b(START)
label(DOUBLE)
add(r0, r0, r0)
bx(lr)
label(START)
bl(DOUBLE)
bl(DOUBLE)

print(quad(10))
$ micropython-standard quad.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "quad.py", line 1, in <module>
SyntaxError: invalid micropython decorator
$ micropython-standard+thumb quad.py
40
#+end_example

* Happy(?) End.
