There isn't any documentation specific to the BSP, but hopefully you
won't have much trouble working from a tutorial for a different device.
I suggest starting with the nRF52dk blinky tutorial:
http://mynewt.apache.org/latest/os/tutorials/nRF52/

I believe the only discrepancy is the BSP name.  You should use this
BSP: @apache-mynewt-core/hw/bsp/bbc_microbit.

(the tutorial says to use .../nrf52dk instead).

I don't believe the necessary drivers have been implemented, but I will
let others who are more familiar chime in.

Very cool.  I would love to know how it goes.
