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. |
