Compiling the module
--------------------
The prerequisite tools needed to build a native .mpy file are:
* The MicroPython repository (at least the ``py/`` and ``tools/`` directories).
* CPython 3, and the library pyelftools (eg ``pip install 'pyelftools>=0.25'``).
* GNU make.
* A C compiler for the target architecture (if C source is used).
* Optionally ``mpy-cross``, built from the MicroPython repository (if .py source is used).
Be sure to select the correct ``ARCH`` for the target you are going to run on.
