<h3>Adafruit Blinka Installation</h3>
<p>
We use a special library called adafruit_blinka (named after Blinka, the
CircuitPython mascot) to provide the layer that translates the CircuitPython
hardware API to whatever library the Linux board provides.
</p>
<p>
For example, on Raspberry Pi we use the python RPi.GPIO library.
For any I2C interfacing we'll use ioctl messages to the /dev/i2c device.
For SPI we'll use the spidev python library, etc. These details don't matter
so much because they all happen underneath the adafruit_blinka layer.
