MicroPython supports different :term:`boards <board>`, RTOSes,

MicroPython with support for a particular system is called a

"port" to that system. Different ports may have widely different
functionality. This documentation is intended to be a reference

core"). Note that some ports may still omit some APIs described
here (e.g. due to resource constraints). Any such differences,
and port-specific extensions beyond MicroPython core functionality,
would be described in the separate port-specific documentation.
