Bangle board name defines to a file

I don't know how hard this would be, but if the bangle devices name define was visible from a file. This would help me out a lot. Right now my ide doesn't know what device its working with. So the device specific code will be darkened out in my IDE. If it could go in the platform_config.h that would be very handy.

That's a very good point, thanks! Yes, it would be really good to go in platform_config - one thing to watch out for is certain tools like build_jswrapper depend on defines that are set in the makefile (eg to choose which JS functions to include or not), but potentially they could parse platform_config to get those defines, which would probably be a lot nicer than passing them on the command-line anyway

is build_jswrapper and build_jswrapper_efficient. Doing the same thing just one is build for speed?

Yes - actually I think build_jswrapper_efficient should be removed (I've just got rid of it now) - the last update of note was 10 years ago, and I think at the start of Espruino I'd hoped I could make something that was a bit faster than the current solution (but it never actually worked)
