The documentation (including the examples) for elapsed_millis and
elapsed_micros can be found in docs/library/pyb.rst so doesn't need to be
written in full in the source code.
When disabled, the pyb.I2C class saves around 8k of code space and 172
bytes of RAM. The same functionality is now available in machine.I2C
(for F4 and F7 MCUs).
It is still enabled by default.
This driver uses low-level register access to control the I2C peripheral
(ie it doesn't rely on the ST HAL) and provides the same C-level API as the
existing F7 hardware driver.
On this 32-bit arch there's no need to use the long version of the format
specifier. It's only there to appease the compiler which checks the type
of the args passed to printf. Removing the "l" saves a bit of code space.
For a given IRQn (eg UART) there's no need to carry around both a PRI and
SUBPRI value (eg IRQ_PRI_UART, IRQ_SUBPRI_UART). Instead, the IRQ_PRI_UART
value has been changed in this patch to be the encoded hardware value,
using NVIC_EncodePriority. This way the NVIC_SetPriority function can be
used directly, instead of going through HAL_NVIC_SetPriority which must do
extra processing to encode the PRI+SUBPRI.
For a priority grouping of 4 (4 bits for preempt priority, 0 bits for the
sub-priority), which is used in the stm32 port, the IRQ_PRI_xxx constants
remain unchanged in their value.
This patch also "fixes" the use of raise_irq_pri() which should be passed
the encoded value (but as mentioned above the unencoded value is the same
as the encoded value for priority grouping 4, so there was no bug from this
error).
The problem is the existing code which tries to optimise the
reinitialisation of the DMA breaks the abstraction of the HAL. For the
STM32L4 the HAL's DMA setup code maintains two private vars (ChannelIndex,
DmaBaseAddress) and updates a hardware register (CCR).
In HAL_DMA_Init(), the CCR is updated to set the direction of the DMA.
This is a problem because, when using the SD Card interface, the same DMA
channel is used in both directions, so the direction bit in the CCR must
follow that.
A quick and effective fix for the L4 is to simply call HAL_DMA_DeInit() and
HAL_DMA_Init() every time.
ADC3 is used because the H7's internal ADC channels are connected to ADC3
and the uPy driver doesn't support more than one ADC.
Only 12-bit resolution is supported because 12 is hard-coded and 14/16 bits
are not recommended on some ADC3 pins (see errata).
Values from internal ADC channels are known to give wrong values at
present.
After calling HAL_SYSTICK_Config the SysTick IRQ priority is set to 15, the
lowest priority. This commit reconfigures the IRQ priority to the desired
TICK_INT_PRIORITY value.
By default the stm module is included in the build, but a board can now
define MICROPY_PY_STM to 0 to not include this module. This reduces the
firmware by about 7k.
