 Code auto-formatting
 ====================
 
-Both C and Python code are auto-formatted using the `tools/codeformat.py`
-script.  This uses [uncrustify](https://github.com/uncrustify/uncrustify) to
-format C code and [black](https://github.com/psf/black) to format Python code.
-After making changes, and before committing, run this tool to reformat your
-changes to the correct style.  Without arguments this tool will reformat all
-source code (and may take some time to run).  Otherwise pass as arguments to
-the tool the files that changed and it will only reformat those.
+Both C and Python code formatting are controlled for consistency across the
+MicroPython codebase.  C code is formatted using the `tools/codeformat.py`

+Python code is linted and formatted using
+[ruff & ruff format](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff).
