Call `supervisor.disable_ble_workflow()` and the BLE workflow will
be disabled until the chip is reset.
This also includes a couple fixes:
1. Terminals can now be deinit by setting the tilegrid to NULL. This
prevents using the tilegrid before display is init.
2. Fix BLE serial send amount when sending more than a single packet.
Fixes#5049
A pointer to the FIL structure was kept after it went out of scope.
Apparently this happened to work until cf97793 added the `result`
variable that clobbered it.
Fixes#5062
nRF CircuitPython boards will now provide the file transfer
service defined here: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_BLE_File_Transfer
USB capable boards will only advertise if previously bonded to a
device or if the reset button is pressed during the fast blue
flashes on start up. When pressed, the board will restart again but
the blue period will not flash.
Boards without USB will always advertise.
When previously bonded, the advertisement is private so that no
other peers can connect. If advertising publicly, the tx power is
lowered to reduce the likelihood of bonding from a distance.
This PR also fixes issues with loading identities of bonded peers
so that our address can now be resolved and we can resolve others'
addresses when scanning.
This also removes the need to pin share because we don't use the
status LED while user code is running.
The status flashes fallback to the HW_STATUS LED if no RGB LED is
present. Each status has a unique blink pattern as well.
One caveat is the REPL state. In order to not pin share, we set the
RGB color once. PWM and single color will be shutoff immediately but
DotStars and NeoPixels will hold the color until the user overrides
it.
Fixes#4133
When `reload_requested` is detected, the run reason will no longer be
automatically overwritten as an AUTO_RELOAD, making SUPERVISOR_RELOAD a
detectable reload reason. Autoreload now sets the reload reason itself.
Unify USB-related makefile var and C def as CIRCUITPY_USB.
Always define it as 0 or 1, same as all other settings.
USB_AVAILABLE was conditionally defined in supervisor.mk,
but never actually used to #ifdef USB-related code.
Loosely related to #4546
* Better messaging when code is stopped by an auto-reload.
* Auto-reload works during sleeps on ESP32-S2. Ticks wake up the
main task each time.
* Made internal naming consistent. CamelCase Python names are NOT
separated by an underscore.
This changes lots of files to unify `board.h` across ports. It adds
`board_deinit` when CIRCUITPY_ALARM is set. `main.c` uses it to
deinit the board before deep sleeping (even when pretending.)
Deep sleep is now a two step process for the port. First, the
port should prepare to deep sleep based on the given alarms. It
should set alarms for both deep and pretend sleep. In particular,
the pretend versions should be set immediately so that we don't
miss an alarm as we shutdown. These alarms should also wake from
`port_idle_until_interrupt` which is used when pretending to deep
sleep.
Second, when real deep sleeping, `alarm_enter_deep_sleep` is called.
The port should set any alarms it didn't during prepare based on
data it saved internally during prepare.
ESP32-S2 sleep is a bit reorganized to locate more logic with
TimeAlarm. This will help it scale to more alarm types.
Fixes#3786
This allows calls to `allocate_memory()` while the VM is running, it will then allocate from the GC heap (unless there is a suitable hole among the supervisor allocations), and when the VM exits and the GC heap is freed, the allocation will be moved to the bottom of the former GC heap and transformed into a proper supervisor allocation. Existing movable allocations will also be moved to defragment the supervisor heap and ensure that the next VM run gets as much memory as possible for the GC heap.
By itself this breaks terminalio because it violates the assumption that supervisor_display_move_memory() still has access to an undisturbed heap to copy the tilegrid from. It will work in many cases, but if you're unlucky you will get garbled terminal contents after exiting from the vm run that created the display. This will be fixed in the following commit, which is separate to simplify review.
Fixes#3581.
Pins were marked as never_reset by common_hal_displayio_fourwire_construct() and common_hal_sharpdisplay_framebuffer_construct(), but these marks were never removed, so at the end of a session after displayio.release_displays(), {spi|i2c}_singleton would be set to NULL but the pins would not be reset. In the next session, board.SPI() and board.I2C() were unable to reconstruct the object because the pins were still in use.
For symmetry with creation of the singleton, add deinitialization before setting it to NULL in reset_board_busses(). This makes the pins resettable, so that reset_port(), moved behind it, then resets them.
Tested & working:
* Send standard packets
* Receive standard packets (1 FIFO, no filter)
Interoperation between SAM E54 Xplained running this tree and
MicroPython running on STM32F405 Feather with an external
transceiver was also tested.
Many other aspects of a full implementation are not yet present,
such as error detection and recovery.
A background callback must never outlive its related object. By
collecting the head of the linked list of background tasks, this will
not happen.
One hypothetical case where this could happen is if an MP3Decoder is
deleted while its callback to fill its buffer is scheduled.
In time, we should transition interrupt driven background tasks out of the
overall run_background_tasks into distinct background callbacks,
so that the number of checks that occur with each tick is reduced.
Length was stored as a 16-bit number always. Most translations have
a max length far less. For example, US English translation lengths
always fit in just 8 bits. probably all languages fit in 9 bits.
This also has the side effect of reducing the alignment of
compressed_string_t from 2 bytes to 1.
testing performed: ran in german and english on pyruler, printed messages
looked right.
Firmware size, en_US
Before: 3044 bytes free in flash
After: 3408 bytes free in flash
Firmware size, de_DE (with #2967 merged to restore translations)
Before: 1236 bytes free in flash
After: 1600 bytes free in flash
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.
