 LibOpenBLT was written in the C programming language (C99) and developed with cross-platform support in mind. It has been successfully tested on a Windows PC, Linux PC and even on embedded Linux systems such as a Raspberry Pi and a Beagle Board. It supports the XCP communication protocol using RS232, CAN, USB and TCP/IP communication as the transport layer. From a firmware file format perspective, it can handle firmware files in the Motorola S-record format (S19, S28 and S37). The library has a modular design, allowing effortless integration of additional communication protocols, transport layers, and firmware file formats.
-The library is available with full source code and comes with a pre-configured build environment based on [[http://www.cmake.org|CMake]], which allows easy building of LibOpenBLT into both a shared library and a static library. Because it is available in C source code format, as a shared library and as a static library, you are free to choose the programming language of your liking, when developing your custom firmware update tool. For example: C, C++, C#, Java, Python, Object Pascal, etc.

 For details on the library’s API and its implementation, refer to the reference manual that is located at: **.\Doc\RM_LibOpenBLT.pdf**. For an example on how to actually use LibOpenBLT, have a look at the sources of the BootCommander program.

 After a successful build, the shared library **libopenblt.dll** is located in the **.\Host** directory.
+===== Programming language bindings =====
+Bindings for the OpenBLT Host Library are basically glue code, that enable you to call the LibOpenBLT API from a different programming language.
+==== Python ====
+The Python bindings are formatted as a standard Python package that you can directly install in your (virtual) Python environment. Refer to the README file in the SVN trunk for getting started instructions:
+https://sourceforge.net/p/openblt/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/Host/Source/LibOpenBLT/bindings/python/
+A video tutorial about getting started with the Python bindings is available in [[https://www.feaser.com/en/blog/?p=208|this blog article]].
+==== Pascal ====
+The Pascal bindings come as a Pascal unit that you can add to your Delphi or Lazarus project. Refer to the README file in the SVN trunk for getting started instructions:
