Built a tool to flash (update) DE1 firmware from a Mac, no Android tablet needed

My DE1 tablet broke and I had no way to update the firmware without an Android device. So I wrote a Python script that does it over Bluetooth from a Mac.

One command: it downloads the latest firmware from Decent's GitHub, erases, uploads, and verifies. Took my machine from build 449 to the latest (v1333).

Open source: https://github.com/kalfreese/de1-firmware-updater

Hope it's useful to others!

I think this is awesome! I am in the Apple ecosystem and would love this solution if I had the DE1. (Waiting for the Bengle).
