Initial version, using the LP RTC clock. It provides setting the date and
time with rtc.init() or rtc.datetime(), and reading the date and time with
rtc.datetime() or rtc.now(). The method weekday() reports the weekday of
the current date. It starts with 0 for Monday.
The tuple order for datetime() and now() matches the CPython sequence:
(year, month, day, hour, minute, second, microsecond, TZ). TZ is ignored
and reported as None. Microsecond is provided at a best effort.
If a battery is not supplied, the default boot date/time is 1970/1/1 0:0:0.
With a battery, the clock continues to run even when the board is not
powered. The clock is quite precise. If not, using rtc.calibration() may
help.
It supports three hardware timer channels based on the PIT timers of the
MIMXRT MCU. The timer id's are 0, 1 and 2. On soft reboot all active
timers will be stopped via finalisers.
This is required since the Teensy Halfkay loader attempts to erase all of
the flash but fails to do so, at least in my tests. Formatting brings it
back to a known state.
This commit adds full support for a filesystem on all boards, with a block
device object mimxrt.Flash() and uos.VfsLfs2 enabled.
Main changes are:
- Refactoring of linker scripts to accomodate reserved area for VFS. VFS
will take up most of the available flash. 1M is reserved for code. 9K is
reserved for flash configuration, interrupts, etc.
- Addition of _boot.py with filesystem init code, called from main.c.
- Definition of the mimxrt module with a Flash class in modmimxrt.[ch].
- Implementation of a flash driver class in mimxrt_flash.c. All flashing
related functions are stored in ITCM RAM.
- Addition of the uos module with filesystem functions.
- Implementation of uos.urandom() for the sake of completeness of the uos
module.
It uses sample code from CircuitPython supplied under MIT license, which
uses the NXP SDK example code.
Done in collaboration with Philipp Ebensberger aka @alphaFred who
contributed the essential part to enable writing to flash while code is
executing, among other things.
Adds support for NeoPixels on GPIO32 and GPIO33 on ESP32. Otherwise,
NeoPixels wired to GPIO32/33 wll silently fail without any hints to the
user.
With thanks to @robert-hh.
Fixes issue #7221.
ATOM is a very small ESP32 development board produced by M5Stack, with a
size of 24mm * 24mm, with peripherals such as WS2812, IR, button, MPU6886
(Only Matrix), and 8 GPIO extensions. It also has a plastic shell.
This configuration is used by @ladyada and more often than it should
we've discovered late that a change introduced problems building
there.
By adding this to regular CI, hopefully we learn about and fix these
issues sooner rather than later.
With GCC 11 there is now a warning about array bounds of OTP-mac, due to
the OTP being a literal address.
