 This repository contains a selection of packages emulating the CircuitPython API
 for devices or hosts running CPython or MicroPython. Working code exists to emulate these CircuitPython packages:
 
-* **_typing** - (Legacy) subset of types for C-level protocols
 * **analogio** - analog input/output pins, using pin identities from board+microcontroller packages
 * **bitbangio** - software-driven interfaces for I2C, SPI
 * **board** - breakout-specific pin identities
 * **busio** - hardware-driven interfaces for I2C, SPI, UART
-* **circuitpython_typing** - Subset of types for C-level protocols
 * **digitalio** - digital input/output pins, using pin identities from board+microcontroller packages
 * **keypad** - support for scanning keys and key matrices
 * **microcontroller** - chip-specific pin identities

 Usage Example
 =============
 
-At the time of writing (`git:7fc1f8ab <https://github.com/cefn/Adafruit_Micropython_Blinka/tree/7fc1f8ab477124628a5afebbf6826005955805f9>`_),
-the following sequence runs through some basic testing of the digitalio compatibility layer...
+The pin names may vary by board, so you may need to change the pin names in the code. This
+example runs on the Raspberry Pi boards to blink an LED connected to GPIO 18 (Pin 12):
 
 .. code-block:: python
 
-    from testing import test_module_name
-    test_module_name("testing.universal.digitalio")
+    import time
+    import board
+    import digitalio
 
-An example log from running the suites is `here <https://github.com/cefn/Adafruit_Micropython_Blinka/issues/2#issuecomment-366713394>`_ .
