About

I wrote this flake to be able to work with the BL808 on Nixos, but it should also work on any other Linux system that supports Nix.

The packaging is, for the most part, really hacky because I just wanted to get them to work, and the flashing utilities are only available as precompiled binaries or Python packages that modify their own environment.
