ikkeje 0:ee31ccbe9919 3 A collection of the commonly used components of the micro:bit runtime with a
ikkeje 0:ee31ccbe9919 4 standard configuration, to provide an easy to use interface for programming the micro:bit in C/C++.

ikkeje 0:ee31ccbe9919 6 ## Overview
ikkeje 0:ee31ccbe9919 7
ikkeje 0:ee31ccbe9919 8 The micro:bit runtime provides an easy to use environment for programming the BBC micro:bit in the C/C++ language, written by Lancaster University. It contains device drivers for all the hardware capabilities of the micro:bit, and also a suite of runtime mechanisms to make programming the micro:bit easier and more flexible. These range from control of the LED matrix display to peer-to-peer radio communication and secure Bluetooth Low Energy services. The micro:bit runtime is proudly built on the ARM mbed and Nordic nrf51 platforms.

ikkeje 0:ee31ccbe9919 10 In addition to supporting development in C/C++, the runtime is also designed specifically to support higher level languages provided by our partners that target the micro:bit. It is currently used as a support library for all the languages on the BBC www.microbit.co.uk website, including Microsoft Block, Microsoft TouchDevelop, Code Kingdoms JavaScript and Micropython languages.
