uflash 0.0.1

A module and utility to flash Python onto the BBC micro:bit.

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.
