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.
Commit 95e70cd0ea 'time: Use 1970 epoch' changed epoch for the time
module, but not for other users. This patch does the same for the only
other core timeutils user: extmod/vfs_fat.c:fat_vfs_stat().
Other timeutils users: cc3200, esp8266 and stm32, are not changed.
Ports that don't use long ints, will still get wrong time values from
os.stat().
This saves code space in builds which use link-time optimization.
The optimization drops the untranslated strings and replaces them
with a compressed_string_t struct. It can then be decompressed to
a c string.
Builds without LTO work as well but include both untranslated
strings and compressed strings.
This work could be expanded to include QSTRs and loaded strings if
a compress method is added to C. Its tracked in #531.
Particularly when they have buffers that are written via IRQ or DMA,
UART objects do not relocate gracefully. If such an object is
relocated to the long-lived pool after its original creation, the
IRQ or DMA will write to an unexpected location within the Python
heap, leading to a variety of symptoms. The most frequent symptom
is inability to read from the UART.
Consider the particular case of atmel-samd: usart_uart_obj_t
contains a usart_async_descriptor contains a _usart_async_device.
In _sercom_init_irq_param the address of this contained
_usart_async_device is assigned to a global array
sercom_to_sercom_dev which is later used from the interrupt context
_sercom_usart_interrupt_handler to store the received data in the
right ring buffer.
When the UART object is relocated to the long-lived heap, there's no
mechanism to re-point these internal pointers, so instead take the
cowardly way and allocate the UART object as long-lived.
Happily, almost all UART objects are likely to be long-lived, so
this is unlikely to have a negative effect on memory usage or heap
fragmentation.
Closes: #1056
Its slimmed down by removing the qstr and bit packing TCC info.
The trinket m0 build actually grows by 20 bytes. The arduino zero
build shrinks by 188 bytes.
This allows for the heap to fill all space but the stack. It also
allows us to designate space for memory outside the runtime for
things such as USB descriptors, flash cache and main filename.
Fixes#754
We now track the last time the background task ran and bail on the
PulseIn if it starves the background work. In practice, this
happens after the numbers from pulsein are no longer accurate.
This also adjusts interrupt priorities so most are the lowest level
except for the tick and USB interrupts.
Fixes#516 and #876
For some reason, when the GamePad is created from frozen code, the
get_pressed method would always return 0. This fixes it, and makes it
work properly no matter how the object was created.
Don't check the pin's pull direction on every tick, instead cache it
at the beginning. Also avoid a "can't get pull of output pin" error
when one of the pins passed is in output mode.
Use UNIX epoch to match CPython.
This overflows small int so time.{time,localtime,mktime} is only supported with long int.
Also remove some comment cruft in time_time().
I2SOut.
The API is almost the same except the frequency attribute has been
renamed to sample_rate so that its less likely to be confused with
frequencies within the audio itself.
Fixes#263.
Add an rtc module that provides a singleton RTC class with
- a datetime property to set and get time if the board supports it.
- a calbration property to adjust the clock.
There's also an rtc.set_time_source() method to override this RTC object using pure python.
The time module gets 3 methods:
- time.time()
- time.localtime()
- time.mktime()
The rtc timesource is used to provide time to the time module.
lib/timeutils is used for time conversions and thus only supports dates after 2000.
This evolves the API from 2.x (and breaks it). Playback devices are now
separate from the samples themselves. This allows for greater playback
flexibility. Two sample sources are audioio.RawSample and audioio.WaveFile.
They can both be mono or stereo. They can be output to audioio.AudioOut or
audiobusio.I2SOut.
Internally, the dma tracking has changed from a TC counting block transfers
to an interrupt generated by the block event sent to the EVSYS. This reduces
the overhead of each DMA transfer so multiple can occure without using up TCs.
Fixes#652. Fixes#522. Huge progress on #263

1. UART: ported to ASF4. Allow rx-only and tx-only. Add .baudrate r/w property.
2. Make NeoPixel timing deterministic by turning off caches during NeoPixel writes.
3. Incorporate asf4 updates:
a. async USART driver
b. bringing Atmel START configuration closer to what we use
c. Clock initialization order now specified by CIRCUITPY_GCLK_INIT_1ST and _LAST.
4. supervisor/port.c: Move commented-out clock-test pin setting to correct location.
all: Add .frequency read-only property for busio.SPI to return actual frequency.
Fix esp8266/posix_helpers.c, which was not up to date for the new
long-lived/short-lived heap allocation scheme.
shared_bindings/index.rst: updated Support Matrix format as discussed in PR #503 & Issue #448.
shared-bindings/microcontroller/Processor.c & .h: added UID lookup functionality for use with all ports. Fixes#462.
The example code for the gamepad module would skip detected
button presses in the code that waits for a button to be released,
because it would run it even when no button is pressed.
Also updated the example pin names to not use RX and TX.
shared-bindings/index.rst: added `aduiobusio` to Support Matrix. Used `audiobusio/_init_.c` to verify applicable ports; SAMD21 was the only one listed...ESP8266 wasn't. This fixes issue #448.
/docs/design_guide: added links to firmware build learning guides for SAMD21 & ESP8266. Changes were placed in the "Adding native modules" section, since that seemed to me the best place based on target audience.
Updated documentation for `delay()` which fixes#243.
Changes:
* New faster filter loop, by @ladyada. New filter coefficients as well.
* Turn on microphone clock when PDMIn object is created, and run it all the time, so the user code doesn't have to wait for microphone startup, which can be 10ms or even 100ms.
* Wait for microphone startup when PDMIn is first created, based on new optional parameter microphone_startup in seconds (takes a float).
* record() returns number of samples actually recorded, so you can see if it's not keeping up.
* Fix buffer overflow errors when buffer size was not a multiple of 16 or something like that.
* Tweak a few peripheral settings.
* Minimum sampling frequency is now 16kHZ or so, because 8kHz runs microphone at only 0.5MHz, which is too slow for many mics.
Note: I tried 128x oversampling instead of 64x, but the code cannot keep up at 24kHz or above sampling. 128x would reduce the high-frequency noise by 6db.
Also, fixed pin mappings for rev B Metro M4:
swap PA12 and PA13 on SPI 2x3 header
swap A3 and A5
Comment out all frozen modules in CPX again to make room while waiting
for SPI flash.
This is a C module with some low-level functions required for the
CircuitPython "stage" library. It provides support for fast
rendering of tile grids and sprites on SPI-based RGB displays.
* Added asf4_conf/samd*/hpl_sercom_config.h
* Adjusted clocks in peripheral_clk_config.h.
* Put some frozen libs back in CPX for testing.
* Implement common-hal I2C
* Add samd*_peripherals.h in parallel with samd*_pins.h for common
functions and data.
* Store SERCOM index in pins table for convenience.
* Canonicalize some #include guard names in various .h files.
simpler reset of SERCOMs; remove unused routine
This is mostly for convenience, so that user code doesn't
need to add additional checks.
Also, bring the bitbangio into compatibility with busio wrt. empty
buffers.
The readonly arg to storage.remount() is now a keyword arg that
defaults to False. To maintain backwards compatibility, readonly
can be passed as a positional arg or keyword arg.
* Add microcontroller.cpu, the sole instance of microcontroller.Processor.
microcontroller.cpu.frequency is the clock frequency, in Hz.
microcontroller.cpu.temperature is the reading from the internal temperature sensor, in Celsius. None if not available.
* Squeeze firmware size by using -finline-limit. Otherwise non-Express builds were slightly too big.
* Update submodules.
* Fix documentation glitches
* atmel-samd: Introduce a nvm module for non-volatile byte-level memory access.
This allows for persisting small configuration values even when the file system
is read-only from CircuitPython.
Fixes#160
* Review feedback:
* Add tests.
* Fix non-zero index.
* Fix len()
also initializes in the same way where it takes from a true random
source when available through os.urandom(). After initializing, it
produces deterministic results until the seed is set.
This replaces urandom!
Fixes#139.

Also, rename Direction.IN to Direction.INPUT and Direction.OUT to Direction.OUTPUT.
This simplifies using them. Prior to the nativeio split this would have led to
clutter in the top-level namespace but having digitalio prevents this.
Fixes#152
buffer from start, end and length. The old code miscomputed length
leading to writing and reading from memory past the end of the buffer.
Consolidating the code should make it easier to get right everywhere.
* Track status pin use by user code separately so it can take over the pins and then give them back.
* Switch to hardware SPI for APA102 on Gemma and Trinket.
* Merge microcontroller/types.h into microcontroller/Pin.h to better match approach going forwards.
This was done to allow greatly granularity when deciding what functionality
is built into each board's build. For example, this way pulseio can be
omitted to allow for something else such as touchio.
This class focuses on the timing sensitive parts of the protocol.
Everything else will be done by Python code.
This also establishes that its OK to back a nativeio class with a
bitbang implementation when no hardware acceleration exists. When
it does, then bitbangio should be used to explicitly bitbang a
protocol.
1) Bus error will be thrown on read/write errors with errno set. (Read didn't used to fail at all.)
2) try_lock correctly returns boolean whether lock was grabbed.
Fixes#87
* Always init SPI to 250k to start for SD cards.
* Add ability to configure byte written during read.
* Add ability to read and write to portions of buffers like existing I2C API.
You can either set it once up front, or set variable_frequency on custruction to
indicate that the frequency must be able to change. This informs whether a timer
can be shared amongst pins.
This also adds persistent clock calibration on atmel-samd. Once the device has
synced its clock frequency over USB it will remember that config value until USB
is used again. This helps ensure the clock frequency is similar on and off USB.
Lastly, this also corrects time.sleep() when on USB by correcting the tick counter.
