python3-uflash

module and utility for flashing the BBC micro:bit

Description

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 uses the MicroPython runtime for micro:bit provided by the firmware-microbit-micropython package and which is located at /usr/share/firmware-microbit-micropython/firmware.hex.

This package provides the Python 3 module.
