Get the development suite

1. Know the project

• Github is a public and free version management repository, and most of them are open source projects. You can get a lot of materials or code you need here, etc., while our open source source code and other things are stored in the git repository of Github.

The circled button option, for the user, provides the following functionality (although the document content may be updated with The Times, the general content shown in the image will not change).

1. Code: is the open source Code that the project stores, in this case the sample Code that can be used directly for the board.

2.Issues:can be posted here if there is any doubt, whether it is error report or need help, etc.

3. Project: refers to the current development of the Project. You can see the development of the whole Project here.

4.Wiki: view the documentation for the project,github is chinese version ,here is english

1. 1. 1. 2. 下载项目

- 如下图可以看到 Clone or Download 按钮，它是将当前项目的示例代码直接打包下载（不包含开发套件）。 -  - 而获取开发套件需要点 release 或点此进入 [BPI-BIT-MicroPython/releases](https://github.com/BPI-STEAM/BPI-BIT-MicroPython/releases) -  - 点击蓝色字体即可下载文件，在这个项目里，开发套件工具都是按需下载的，所以需要什么工具的时候，文档开头会提及所需材料。 - 你可以回到开头重新了解一下或进入下一章节[有线连接板子](https://github.com/BPI-STEAM/BPI-BIT-MicroPython/wiki/board_connect)。
