Project description

A utility for flashing the BBC micro:bit with MicroPython.

This module provides two services:

  1. A library of functions to programatically create a hex file and flash it onto a BBC micro:bit.

  2. A command line utility called uflash that takes a path to a Python file, and an optional target location then turns the source Python file into a hex file and copies it to either the target or the discovered MICROBIT device.

There are several operations required:

  • Encode the Python into hex format.

  • Embed the resulting hexified Python into the MicroPython runtime hex.

  • Discover the connected micro:bit.

  • Copy the resulting hex onto the micro:bit, thus flashing the device.
