Increasing it from 1K to 2K gives more freedom to the callback
handlers, before this, simply nesting a function call into a
printf would cause a stack overflow.
Such functions are never used after MicroPython has started, and they
remain in RAM wasting space. Now they are placed in a special section
named "boot" which sits just before the heap, allowing us to extend
the effective heap area up to the new boot section. Right now, this
gives us back ~1K, but in the future, more functions might end up in
there as well.
The port currently implements support for GPIO, RTC, ExtInt and the WiFi
subsystem. A small file system is available in the serial flash. A
bootloader which makes OTA updates possible, is also part of this initial
implementation.
