Do as the manual webpage say to install microbit module.

    sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:team-gcc-arm-embedded

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install cmake ninja-build gcc-arm-none-eabi srecord libssl-dev
    pip3 install yotta

Set configuration for module.json.

    CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:16 (cmake_policy):
      The OLD behavior for policy CMP0017 will be removed from a future version
      of CMake.

      The cmake-policies(7) manual explains that the OLD behaviors of all
      policies are deprecated and that a policy should be set to OLD only under
      specific short-term circumstances.  Projects should be ported to the NEW
      behavior and not rely on setting a policy to OLD.

      The CMAKE_FORCE_C_COMPILER macro is deprecated.  Instead just set
      CMAKE_C_COMPILER and allow CMake to identify the compiler.

Hi @yufeiluo,

There is no need to create a module.json to build MicroPython, you can just follow the instructions from the README.md.
