boot.py script

Loading the boot.py is the first operation performed by the virtual machine.

The virtual machine jump to the next step if the file is not available.

The role of the boot.py script is to perform a quick hardware initialization at startup.

The boot.py script should be short and executes its content as fast as possible.

The MicroPython virtual machine will stays locked as long as the boot.py have not terminated its processing.

Interacting with MicroPython is almost impossible during the processing of boot.py .
