This PR refines the _bleio API. It was originally motivated by
the addition of a new CircuitPython service that enables reading
and modifying files on the device. Moving the BLE lifecycle outside
of the VM motivated a number of changes to remove heap allocations
in some APIs.
It also motivated unifying connection initiation to the Adapter class
rather than the Central and Peripheral classes which have been removed.
Adapter now handles the GAP portion of BLE including advertising, which
has moved but is largely unchanged, and scanning, which has been enhanced
to return an iterator of filtered results.
Once a connection is created (either by us (aka Central) or a remote
device (aka Peripheral)) it is represented by a new Connection class.
This class knows the current connection state and can discover and
instantiate remote Services along with their Characteristics and
Descriptors.
Relates to #586
Identical to cd527bb324ade952d11a134859d38bf5272c165e but for doubles.
This gives a -2.754% improvement on bm_float.py, and -35% improvement on
calling sqrt in a loop.
mp_compile no longer takes an emit_opt argument, rather this setting is now
provided by the global default_emit_opt variable.
Now, when -X emit=native is passed as a command-line option, the emitter
will be set for all compiled modules (included imports), not just the
top-level script.
In the future there could be a way to also set this variable from a script.
Fixes issue #4267.
Updating the nrfx git submodule containing HAL drivers for nrf-port
from v1.3.1 to current master. The version pointed to is one commit
ahead of v1.7.1 release. The extra commit contains a bugfix for
nrfx_uart_tx_in_progress() making it report correctly.
The general upgrade of nrfx is considered to be safe, as almost all
changes in between 1.3.1 and 1.7.1 are related to peripherals and
target devices not used by the nrf-port as of today.
Otherwise mp_interrupt_char will have a value of zero on start up (because
it's in the BSS) and a KeyboardInterrupt may be raised during start up.
For example this can occur if there is a UART attached to the REPL which
sends spurious null bytes when the device turns on.
So that boot.py and/or main.py can be frozen (either as STR or MPY) in the
same way that other scripts are frozen. Frozen scripts have preference to
scripts in the VFS.
From https://github.com/micropython/oofatfs, branch work-R0.13c,
commit cb05c9486d3b48ffd6bd7542d8dbbab4b1caf790.
Large code pages (932, 936, 949, 950) have been removed from ffunicode.c
because they were not included in previous versions here.
Replaces "PYB: soft reboot" with "MPY: soft reboot", etc.
Having a consistent prefix across ports reduces the difference between
ports, which is a general goal. And this change won't break pyboard.py
because that tool only looks for "soft reboot".
