Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Control: affects -1 + src:python-uflash
I intend to orphan the python-uflash package.
This package currently sits in the Debian Python team and is a dependency of the
mu-editor package.
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/python-uflash
The package description is:
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.
