Notes on the Inkplate_ boards.

MicroPython
===========

Micropython for all of the Inkplate boards can be downloaded by cloning
the repository::

   $ git clone https://github.com/SolderedElectronics/Inkplate-micropython.git
   $ cd Inkplate-micropython

then the firmware can be flashed directly with esptool::

   $ esptool --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --chip esp32 --baud 115200 write_flash \
     --flash_mode keep --flash_size keep --erase-all 0x1000 \
     Inkplate-firmware.bin

under Debian, you may need to use ``--no-stub``, because of #1043168_::

   $ esptool --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --chip esp32 --baud 115200 --no-stub \
     write_flash --flash_mode keep --flash_size keep 0x1000 \
     Inkplate-firmware.bin

.. _1043168: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1043168

Then the libraries can be copied to the board from the local copy::

  $ mpremote fs mkdir lib
  $ mpremote fs cp <board>/package.json :lib/
  $ mpremote fs cp <board>/<board>/*.py :lib/
  $ mpremote fs cp Dependencies/*.py :lib/
