TypeScript/JavaScript library to create micro:bit Universal Hex files for micro:bit.

The Universal Hex file format was created to be able to contain the binary data for micro:bit V1 and V2 boards in a single file, so that it works in all versions of the micro:bit.

There is also an example showing the reverse process of separating a Universal Hex into individual Intel Hex files: https://microbit-foundation.github.io/microbit-universal-hex/examples/separate.html
