Description-en: module and utility for flashing the BBC micro:bit
uflash is a utility for flashing the BBC micro:bit with Python scripts
and the MicroPython runtime.
.
It provides two services:
.
* a library of functions to programmatically create a hex file and flash
it onto a BBC micro:bit.
* a command line utility (uflash) that will flash Python scripts onto
a BBC micro:bit
.
Several essential operations are implemented:
.
* encode Python into the hex format
* embed the resulting hexified Python into the MicroPython runtime hex
* extract an encoded Python script from a MicroPython hex file
* discover the connected micro:bit
* copy the resulting hex onto the micro:bit, thus flashing the device
* specify the MicroPython runtime hex in which to embed your Python code
.
By default, python3-uflash will use the MicroPython runtime for micro:bit
provided by the firmware-microbit-micropython{,-dl} packages and which is
located in /usr/share/firmware-microbit-micropython/firmware.hex. Please
ensure one of these packages is installed so that a default runtime is
always available.
.
This package provides the Python 3 module.
