The deps/ folder contains the library dependencies used to build and link statically tools, like picotool and elf2uf2 (the libraries libusb and libudev...).
The deps/ folder contains also a bash script used by the Dockerfile to successfully build them with different toolchains and with different targets.
This way they are ready when used by the CI during the building/linking phase!
They come from:

- https://github.com/libusb/hidapi
- https://fossies.org/linux/misc/old/libelf-0.8.13.tar.gz/
- https://www.intra2net.com/en/developer/libftdi/index.php
- https://github.com/libusb/libusb
- https://github.com/libusb/libusb-compat-0.1
- https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ncurses/
- https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/readline/
build_libs.sh is used by the Dockerfile:
Basically during the docker build phase the libraries are compiled with every toolchain available in the Docker container. Other libraries can be added, the build_libs.sh script needs to be adapted, but the Dockerfile should be ok.
