The nrf52840-mdk-usb-dongle and pca10050 comes with a pre-flashed
bootloader (OpenBootloader).
This commit updates the boards "mpconfigboard.mk" to use DFU as
default flashing method and set the corresponding BOOTLOADER
settings such that nrf52840_open_bootloader_1.2.x.ld linker
script is used.
The default DFU flashing method can be disabled by issuing "DFU=0"
when invoking make. This will lead to "segger" being used as default
flashing tool. When using "DFU=0", the linker scripts will not
compensate for any MBR and Bootloader region being present, and might
overwrite them if they were present.
The commit also removes the custom linker script specific to
nrf52840-mdk-usb-dongle as it now points to a generic.
Updated nrf52840-mdk-usb-dongle's README.md to be more clear on
how to deploy the built firmware.
The port README.md has also been updated. In the list of target
boards a new column has been added to indicate which bootloader
is present on the target board. And for consistency, changed all
examples in the README.md to use "deploy" instead of "flash".
An additional Makefile parameter NRFUTIL_PORT can be set in order
to define the serial port to used for the DFU (Default: /dev/ttyACM0).
The "nrfutil" that is used as flasher towards OpenBootloader is
available for installation through Python "pip".
In case of SD=s140, SoftDevice ID 0xB6 is passed to nrfutil's package
generation which corresponds to SoftDevice s140 v6.1.1.
Add the option for "mpconfigboard.mk" to define whether the
board hosts a bootloader or not. The BOOTLOADER make variable
must be set to the name of the bootloader.
When the BOOTLOADER name is set it is also required to supply
the BOOTLOADER_VERSION_MAJOR and the BOOTLOADER_VERSION_MINOR
from the "mpconfigboards.mk". These will be used to resolve which
bootloader linker script that should be passed to the linker.
The BOOTLOADER section also supplies the C-compiler with
BOOTLOADER_<bootloader name>=<version major><version minor>
as a compiler define. This is for future use in case a bootloader
needs to do modification to the startup files or similar (like
setting the VTOR specific to a version of a bootloader).
Adding variables that can be set from other linker scripts:
- _bootloader_head_size:
Bootloader flash offset in front of the application.
- _bootloader_tail_size:
Bootloader offset from the tail of the flash.
In case the bootloader is located at the end.
- _bootloader_head_ram_size:
Bootloader RAM usage in front of the application.
Updated calculations of application flash and RAM.
Hardware I2C implementations must provide a .init() protocol method if they
want to support reconfiguration. Otherwise the default is that i2c.init()
raises an OSError (currently the case for all ports).
mp_machine_soft_i2c_locals_dict is renamed to mp_machine_i2c_locals_dict to
match the generic SPI bindings.
Fixes issue #6623 (where calling .init() on a HW I2C would crash).

The last argument of TUD_CDC_DESCRIPTOR() is the endpoint size (or
wMaxPacketSize), not the CDC RX buffer size (which can be larger than the
endpoint size).

With a warning that this way of constructing software I2C/SPI is
deprecated. The check and warning will be removed in a future release.
This should help existing code to migrate to the new SoftI2C/SoftSPI types.

Previous commits removed the ability for one I2C/SPI constructor to
construct both software- or hardware-based peripheral instances. Such
construction is now split to explicit soft and non-soft types.
This commit makes both types available in all ports that previously could
create both software and hardware peripherals: machine.I2C and machine.SPI
construct hardware instances, while machine.SoftI2C and machine.SoftSPI
create software instances.
This is a breaking change for use of software-based I2C and SPI. Code that
constructed I2C/SPI peripherals in the following way will need to be
changed:
machine.I2C(-1, ...) -> machine.SoftI2C(...)
machine.I2C(scl=scl, sda=sda) -> machine.SoftI2C(scl=scl, sda=sda)
machine.SPI(-1, ...) -> machine.SoftSPI(...)
machine.SPI(sck=sck, mosi=mosi, miso=miso)
-> machine.SoftSPI(sck=sck, mosi=mosi, miso=miso)
Code which uses machine.I2C and machine.SPI classes to access hardware
peripherals does not need to change.

The SoftI2C constructor is now used soley to create SoftI2C instances, it
can no longer delegate to create a hardware-based I2C instance.

Also rename machine_i2c_type to mp_machine_soft_i2c_type. These changes
make it clear that it's a soft-I2C implementation, and match SoftSPI.

Updating to Black v20.8b1 there are two changes that affect the code in
this repository:
- If there is a trailing comma in a list (eg [], () or function call) then
that list is now written out with one line per element. So remove such
trailing commas where the list should stay on one line.
- Spaces at the start of """ doc strings are removed.

Enabling the following features for all targets, except for nrf51
targets compiled to be used with SoftDevice:
- MICROPY_PY_ARRAY_SLICE_ASSIGN
- MICROPY_PY_SYS_STDFILES
- MICROPY_PY_UBINASCII
Splitting mpconfigport.h into multiple device specific
files in order to facilitate variations between devices.
Due to the fact that the devices might have variations in
features and also variations in flash size it makes sense
that some devices offers more functionality than others
without being limited by restricted devices.
For example more micropython features can be activated for
nrf52840 with 1MB flash, compared to nrf51 with 256KB.
This commit adds time.ticks_ms/us support using RTC1 as the timebase. It
also adds the time.ticks_add/diff helper functions. This feature can be
enabled using MICROPY_PY_TIME_TICKS. If disabled the system uses the
legacy sleep methods and does not have any ticks functions.
In addition support for MICROPY_EVENT_POLL_HOOK was added to the
time.sleep_ms(x) function, making this function more power efficient and
allows support for select.poll/asyncio. To support this, the RTC's CCR0
was used to schedule a ~1msec event to wakeup the CPU.
Some important notes about the RTC timebase:
- Since the granularity of RTC1's ticks are approx 30usec, time.ticks_us is
not perfect, does not have 1us resolution, but is otherwise quite usable.
For tighter measurments the ticker's 1MHz counter should be used.
- time.ticks_ms(x) should *not* be called in an IRQ with higher prio than
the RTC overflow irq (3). If so it introduces a race condition and
possibly leads to wrong tick calculations.
See #6171 and #6202.
When compiling for debug (-O0) the .text segment cannot fit the flash
region when MICROPY_ROM_TEXT_COMPRESSION=1, because the compiler does not
optimise away the large if-else chain used to select the correct compressed
string.
This commit enforces MICROPY_ROM_TEXT_COMPRESSION=0 when compiling for
debug (DEBUG=1).
The storage space of the advertisement name is not declared static, leading
to a random advertisement name. This commit fixes the issue by declaring
it static.
The Bluetooth link gets disconnected when connecting from a PC after 30-40
seconds. This commit adds handling of the data length update request. The
data length parameter pointer is set to NULL in the reply, letting the
SoftDevice automatically set values and use them in the data length update
procedure.
mp_keyboard_interrupt() triggers a compiler error because the function is
implicitly declared. This commit adds "py/runtime.h" to the includes.

Commit 6cea369b89 updated the TinyUSB

Because it can confuse older versions of gcc. Instead use the correct

Note: the uncrustify configuration is explicitly set to 'add' instead of
'force' in order not to alter the comments which use extra spaces after //
as a means of indenting text for clarity.
Now that error string compression is supported it's more important to have
consistent error string formatting (eg all lowercase English words,
consistent contractions). This commit cleans up some of the strings to
make them more consistent.
This function is not used by the core but having it as part of the build
allows it to be used by user C modules, or board extensions. The linker
won't include it in the final firmware if it remains unused.
This string is recognised by uncrustify, to disable formatting in the
region marked by these comments. This is necessary in the qstrdef*.h files
to prevent modification of the strings within the Q(...). In other places
it is used to prevent excessive reformatting that would make the code less
readable.
The "random" module no longer uses the hardware RNG (the extmod version of
this module has a pseudo-random number generator), so the config option
MICROPY_PY_RANDOM_HW_RNG is no longer meaningful. This commit replaces it
with MICROPY_HW_ENABLE_RNG, which controls whether the hardware RNG is
included in the build.
This provides a more consistent C-level API to raise exceptions, ie moving
away from nlr_raise towards mp_raise_XXX. It also reduces code size by a
small amount on some ports.
