Is latest firmware v1.7.9? No it's v1.9.2

I bought a micro:bit and noticed it is running v1.7.9 from 2016.
I tried compiling new firmware and copied firmware.hex to the board:
https://microbit-micropython.readthedoc ... ation.html
Still showing up as:
MicroPython v1.7-9-gbe020eb on 2016-04-18; micro:bit with nRF51822
Is that the most recent version of MicroPython that runs on the micro:bit?
https://github.com/bbcmicrobit/micropyt ... pversion.h
Seems it is.

I think there is not enough space to run last version micropython in microbt.

There hasn't been a release in a while. The development continues, of course, and there are many improvements — to use them, you need to use the "version1" branch of the repository.

Look at :
https://github.com/mu-editor/mu/tree/master/package
"You can download the latest executable build of Mu for your respective operating system from the following links:"
http://mu-builds.s3-website.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/
Last version for Linux is from December 2nd 2017, it has newer (1.9.?) version of MicroPython, as far as I remember (my BBC Micro:bit aren't with me at the moment).
Other branches may have newer versions.

Tried compiling and flashing the
version1 branch:

The older
master branch:
MicroPython v1.7-9-gbe020eb on 2016-04-18; micro:bit with nRF51822

Could you post the firmware file (.hex) for MicroPython v1.9.2 on BBC Micro:bit ? It is useful to flash it with
uflash.

@damien would it be possible / appropriate to add a precompiled version of MicroPython for BBC micro:bit here:
http://micropython.org/download
I added a copy to
my tm1637 project, but feel like it should be in a more official place.
