The the nrfx driver is aware of chip specific registers, while
the raw HAL abstraction is not. This driver enables use of NVMC
in non-secure domain for nrf9160.
This patch moves the check for MICROPY_PY_MACHINE_TEMP to come
before the inclusion of nrf_temp.h. The nrf_temp.h depends on
the NRF_TEMP_Type which might not be defined for all nRF devices.
This patch compresses the second part of the bytecode prelude which
contains the source file name, function name, source-line-number mapping
and cell closure information. This part of the prelude now begins with a
single varible length unsigned integer which encodes 2 numbers, being the
byte-size of the following 2 sections in the header: the "source info
section" and the "closure section". After decoding this variable unsigned
integer it's possible to skip over one or both of these sections very
easily.
This scheme saves about 2 bytes for most functions compared to the original
format: one in the case that there are no closure cells, and one because
padding was eliminated.
The start of the bytecode prelude contains 6 numbers telling the amount of
stack needed for the Python values and exceptions, and the signature of the
function. Prior to this patch these numbers were all encoded one after the
other (2x variable unsigned integers, then 4x bytes), but using so many
bytes is unnecessary.
An entropy analysis of around 150,000 bytecode functions from the CPython
standard library showed that the optimal Shannon coding would need about
7.1 bits on average to encode these 6 numbers, compared to the existing 48
bits.
This patch attempts to get close to this optimal value by packing the 6
numbers into a single, varible-length unsigned integer via bit-wise
interleaving. The interleaving scheme is chosen to minimise the average
number of bytes needed, and at the same time keep the scheme simple enough
so it can be implemented without too much overhead in code size or speed.
The scheme requires about 10.5 bits on average to store the 6 numbers.
As a result most functions which originally took 6 bytes to encode these 6
numbers now need only 1 byte (in 80% of cases).
For use with F0 MCUs that don't have HSI48. Select the clock source
explicitly in mpconfigboard.h.
On the NUCLEO_F091RC board use HSE bypass when HSE is chosen because the
NUCLEO clock source is STLINK not a crystal.
Before this patch the UART baudrate on F0 MCUs was wrong because the
stm32lib SystemCoreClockUpdate sets SystemCoreClock to 8MHz instead of
48MHz if HSI48 is routed directly to SYSCLK.
The workaround is to use HSI48 -> PREDIV (/2) -> PLL (*2) -> SYSCLK.
Fixes issue #5049.
From the beginning of this project the RAISE_VARARGS opcode was named and
implemented following CPython, where it has an argument (to the opcode)
counting how many args the raise takes:
raise # 0 args (re-raise previous exception)
raise exc # 1 arg
raise exc from exc2 # 2 args (chained raise)
In the bytecode this operation therefore takes 2 bytes, one for
RAISE_VARARGS and one for the number of args.
This patch splits this opcode into 3, where each is now a single byte.
This reduces bytecode size by 1 byte for each use of raise. Every byte
counts! It also has the benefit of reducing code size (on all ports except
nanbox).
To make progress towards MicroPython supporting Python 3.5, adding the
matmul operator is important because it's a really "low level" part of the
language, being a new token and modifications to the grammar.
It doesn't make sense to make it configurable because 1) it would make the
grammar and lexer complicated/messy; 2) no other operators are
configurable; 3) it's not a feature that can be "dynamically plugged in"
via an import.
And matmul can be useful as a general purpose user-defined operator, it
doesn't have to be just for numpy use.
Based on work done by Jim Mussared.
Enabled by default, but disabled when REPL is connected to the VCP (this is
the existing behaviour). Can be configured at run-time with, eg:
pyb.USB_VCP().init(flow=pyb.USB_VCP.RTS | pyb.USB_VCP.CTS)
