Cc to the owner of WNPP request <URL: https://bugs.debian.org/901461 >, a request for mu, a simple python editor with support for flashing micro:bit, as he might be interested in uflash too. * Package name : uflash Version : n/a, git repo without tags Upstream Author : Nicholas H.Tollervey * URL : https://github.com/ntoll/uflash * License : BSD Description : module and command to flash micro-python onto BBC's micro:bit A utility for flashing the BBC micro:bit with Python scripts and the MicroPython runtime. You pronounce the name of this utility "micro-flash". ;-) It 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 will flash Python scripts onto a BBC micro:bit. All the python dependencies for the uflash program is already in Debian. To be very useful, it uses a prebuilt firmware.hex file, which is a precompled micropython binary. I'm not sure if it is already included in Debian. I recently got my hands on micro:bit, and would like to have the tools needed to program it in Debian as official packages. :) -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
