.. and switch makerfabs tft7 over to it as a test.
We have our existing way of "reserving" PSRAM for esp-idf (we actually
control it all but add back the "reserved" part). However, this does
not work with off the shelf esp_lcd, which only will allocate a
framebuffer in PSRAM if CONFIG_SPIRAM_USE_CAPS_ALLOC (or CONFIG_SPIRAM_USE_ALLOC)
is defined, not if CONFIG_SPIRAM_USE_MEMMAP is.
This new way is possibly compatible with more esp-idf code, but it complicates
CircuitPython's initial startup since nothing until port_heap_init is
permitted to use the CP heap or supervisor allocator. In practice this
seems to be OK today.
Right now this doesn't change the setting across all boards with PSRAM and so
it does not revert esp-idf to its prior state. Instead, what I'm thinking is
that we can do it during or just after the IDF5 update when sdkconfig files
will be getting an overhaul anyway.
Don't idle from main if we scheduled an interrupt for 0 ticks in
the future.
Have RP2040 detect wakes that happen between setting the timer and
the idle call.
Fixes#7361
PicoDVI in CP support 640x480 and 800x480 on Feather DVI, Pico and
Pico W. 1 and 2 bit grayscale are full resolution. 8 and 16 bit
color are half resolution.
Memory layout is modified to give the top most 4k of ram to the
second core. Its MPU is used to prevent flash access after startup.
The port saved word is moved to a watchdog scratch register so that
it doesn't get overwritten by other things in RAM.
Right align status bar and scroll area. This normally gives a few
pixels of padding on the left hand side and improves the odds it is
readable in a case. Fixes#7562
Fixes c stack checking. The length was correct but the top was being
set to the current stack pointer instead of the correct top.
Fixes#7643
This makes Bitmap subscr raise IndexError instead of ValueError
when the index arguments are wrong.
The logic of the main loop was changed between version 7 and 8.
[Commit](9307b62ad5)
Something is wrong with the existing version 8 logic so the serial
write of "soft reboot" is never executed when the user does a
soft reboot.
A consequence of this is that tools like `tools/pyboard.py`, `ampy`
and `mpremote` are not able to activate the raw REPL since they
execute a soft reboot and wait for this to be printed to the console.
