-Buildcheck: Raise an exception if a firmware build is earlier than a given date.
+## Buildcheck

+## timed_function
+Time a function's execution using a decorator
+
+## fastbuild - Pyboard use under Linux
+Build MicroPython with your frozen bytecode, put the Pyboard into DFU mode, and deploy the build to
+the board with a single command. Takes just over 60 seconds on a fast PC. Note the use of make's j
+argument to use mutliple cores. Empirically 8 gave the fastest build on my core i7 4/8 core laptop:
+adjust to suit your PC.
+
+Includes udev rules to avoid jumps from /dev/ttyACM0 to /dev/ttyACM1: ensures Pyboards of all types
+appear as /dev/pyboard. Also rules for USB connected WiPy and FTDI USB/serial adaptor.
