Oh that await would be great. I'm assuming it will basically sleep the thread till the event occurs?

Yep. I hope so.

It would be also good to investigate the capabilities of the DAPLink chip on the v2... now that it's connected via I2C to the nRF (in addition to UART, where the the v1 only had the UART), I wonder what the possibilities are for doing USB device emulation (HID, MIDI, etc).
MIDI would be really useful

If the new controller supports HID, that would make my day

Yep!

There's single threads, but the asyncio scheduler gives you co-operatively scheduled "tasks". And tasks can await (either on an event or outright sleeping) while other tasks are still running.

Any updates on this standard port
(vs the microbit fork)

I think that the community can help develop a nRF MicroPython port for BBC micro:bit v2 with full Bluetooth support, interrupts, timers, etc.
Is there any update on this? anyone working on it?
