Ooo! Could be good fun!

If it emulates a USB CDC ACM device, then you should be able to connect
it to a laptop and use mu (or snekde) with that. That would be pretty
simple, and avoid needing to configure the device a bunch.

Of course, figuring out how to get mu running over bluetooth would be
cool too. That way you wouldn't even need to plug it in.

Given that it's running a full Linux stack, I wonder if it could host a
web service running something like mu locally. That way, you wouldn't
need any software on the interface machine at all. But, re-creating mu
in some javascript web system also seems like a pretty big job.

I'd start by getting the POSIX version of Snek running, then exploring
how to customize that to add support for the input and output devices.
