However, if you'd like to extend or improve the firmware,
then building it will be the first step.

### Building the micro:bit V2 firmware from source

Building the firmware is done with the CODAL build system, and instructions for installing the pre-requisite tools can be found at:

[microbit-v2-samples](https://github.com/lancaster-university/microbit-v2-samples)

Once you have verified your build toolchain works by building the `microbit-v2-samples` example,
you can build the firmware as follows:

cd microbit-firmata
git submodule update --init
cd firmware
python buildv2.py

The compiled firmware will be at:

../microbit-v2-samples/MICROBIT.hex

Drag this file to your micro:bit's USB drive to install it.

You can use the test suite to confirm that it works.

### Creating a universal hex for micro:bit V1 and micro:bit V2

A tool which can easily create a .hex file that will support all micro:bit variants can be found at:

[micro:bit Universal Hex Creator](https://tech.microbit.org/software/universal-hex-creator/)

There is more information about the .HEX file format here:

@JohnVidler We'll need to add board IDs 9905 and 9906 here as well for V2.2.
