This simplifies allocating outside of the VM because the VM doesn't
take up all remaining memory by default.
On ESP we delegate to the IDF for allocations. For all other ports,
we use TLSF to manage an outer "port" heap. The IDF uses TLSF
internally and we use their fork for the other ports.
This also removes the dynamic C stack sizing. It wasn't often used
and is not possible with a fixed outer heap.
Fixes#8512. Fixes#7334.
These are moved:
* Display -> busdisplay.BusDisplay
* FourWire -> fourwire.FourWire
* EPaperDisplay -> epaperdisplay.EPaperDisplay
* I2CDisplay -> i2cdisplaybus.I2CDisplayBus
`paralleldisplay` is now `paralleldisplaybus` (and registered as
`paralleldisplay` too).
Bus related helpers are split out of display_core into bus_core.
It is in still displayio since it is a dependency of both
busdisplay and epaperdisplay.
Fixes#7667
This involves:
* Adding a new "L8" colorspace for colorconverters
* factoring out displayio_colorconverter_convert_pixel
* Making a minimal "colorspace only" version of displayio for the
unix port (testing purposes)
* fixing an error message
I only tested writing B&W animated images, with the following script:
```python
import displayio
import gifio
with gifio.GifWriter("foo.gif", 64, 64, displayio.Colorspace.L8) as g:
for i in range(0, 256, 14):
data = bytes([i, 255-i] * 32 + [255-i, i] * 32) * 32
print("add_frame")
g.add_frame(data)
# expected to raise an error, buffer is not big enough
with gifio.GifWriter("/dev/null", 64, 64, displayio.Colorspace.L8) as g:
g.add_frame(bytes([3,3,3]))
```
* Initialize the EPaper display on the MagTag at start.
* Tweak the display send to take a const buffer.
* Correct Luma math
* Multiply the blue component, not add.
* Add all of the components together before dividing. This
reduces the impact of truncated division.
It's designed to minimize RAM footprint by using Sprites to
represent objects on the screen. The object model also facilitates
partial screen updating which reduces the bandwidth needed to display.
This is all handled in C. Python simply manipulates the objects with
the ability to synchronize to frame timing.
