In #7497 port_background_task was renamed to port_background_tick
but the actual call site wasn't changed. This meant that it was
no longer called!
Rename more functions from task to tick to make it clearer which is
which.
Helps prevent the filesystem from getting formatted by mistake, among other
things. For example, on a Pico board, entering Ctrl+D and Ctrl+C fast many
times will eventually wipe the filesystem (without warning or notice).
Further rationale: Ctrl+C is used a lot by automation scripts (eg mpremote)
and UI's (eg Mu, Thonny) to get the board into a known state. If the board
is not responding for a short time then it's not possible to know if it's
just a slow start up (eg in _boot.py), or an infinite loop in the main
application. The former should not be interrupted, but the latter should.
The only way to distinguish these two cases would be to wait "long enough",
and if there's nothing on the serial after "long enough" then assume it's
running the application and Ctrl+C should break out of it. But defining
"long enough" is impossible for all the different boards and their possible
behaviour. The solution in this commit is to make it so that frozen
start-up code cannot be interrupted by Ctrl+C. That code then effectively
acts like normal C start-up code, which also cannot be interrupted.
Note: on the stm32 port this was never seen as an issue because all
start-up code is in C. But now other ports start to put more things in
_boot.py and so this problem crops up.

Changes in this commit:
- Move the pwm_seq array to the p_config data structure. That prevents
potential resource collisions between PWM devices.
- Rename the keyword argument 'id' to 'device'. That's consistent with the
SAMD port as the other port allowing to specify it.
This is a best-effort implementation of write polling. It's difficult to
do correctly because if there are multiple output streams (eg UART and USB
CDC) then some may not be writeable while others are. A full solution
should also have a return value from mp_hal_stdout_tx_strn(), returning the
number of bytes written to the stream(s). That's also hard to define.
The renesas-ra and stm32 ports already implement a similar best-effort
mechanism for write polling.
Fixes issue #11026.

Previously, setting MICROPY_HW_ENABLE_USBDEV to 0 caused build errors. The
change affects the nrf and samd ports as well, so MICROPY_HW_ENABLE_USBDEV
had to be explicitly enabled there.
The configuration options MICROPY_HW_ENABLE_USBDEV and
MICROPY_HW_ENABLE_UART_REPL are independent, and can be enabled or disabled
by a board.

Changes in this commit:
- Add the timeout and timeout_char keyword options.
- Make uart.read() non-blocking.
- Add uart.any().
- Add ioctl MP_STREAM_POLL handling.
- Change uart.write() into non-busy waiting. uart.write() still waits until
all data has been sent, but calls MICROPY_EVENT_POLL_HOOK while waiting.
uart.write() uses DMA for transfer. One option would be to add a small
local buffer, such that transfers up to the size of the buffer could be
done without waiting.
- As a side effect to the change of uart.write(), uart.txdone() and ioctl
flush now report/wait correctly for the end of transmission.
- Change machine_hard_uart_buf_t in machine_hard_uart_obj_t to an instance
of that struct, rather than a pointer to one.
These have the same frequency, but can have different duty cycle and
polarity.
pwm.deinit() stops all channels of a module, but does not release the
module. pwm.init() without arguments restarts all outputs.
Using extmod/machine_pwm.c for the Python bindings and the existing
softpwm.c driver, by just adding the interface.
Properties:
- Frequency range 1-3906 Hz.
- All PWM outputs run at the same frequency but can have different duty
cycles.
- Limited to the P0.x pins.
Since it uses the existing softpwm.c mechanism, it will be affected by
playing music with the music class.
This is a breaking change, making the hardware PWM on the nrf port
compatible with the other ports providing machine.PWM.
Frequency range 4Hz - ~5.4 MHz. The base clock range is 125kHz to 16 MHz,
and the divider range is 3 - 32767.
The hardware supports up to four outputs per PWM device with different duty
cycles, but only one output is (and was) supported.
These changes allow the firmware to support both the REV-1 and REV-2
versions of the board:
- Freeze the new device drivers used in REV-2.
- Add a board-level module that abstracts the IMU chipset.
This allows:
$ make BOARD_DIR=path/to/board
to infer BOARD=board, rather than the previous behavior that required
additionally setting BOARD explicitly.
Also makes the same change for VARIANT_DIR -> VARIANT on Unix.

It now handles deinit, never_reset and sharing tracking. PWM
now runs in the WAIT state as well during a time.sleep().
_reset_ok() was removed because it was called in one spot right
before deinit().
Some PWMOut were also switched to a bitmap for use instead of
reference count. That way init and deinit are idempotent.
Fixes#6589. Fixes#4841. Fixes#4541.
This 2-in-1 PR started with the goal of support the Bangle.js 2
smartwatch with *no USB*.
* Adds "secure" DFU build support with a committed private key.
* Adds 3-bit color support with one dummy bit for the JDI memory display
* Allows nrf boards to have a board_background_task() run in RUN_BACKGROUND_TASK.
This is needed because the Bangle.js 2 uses the watchdog to reset.
* Renamed port_background_task() to port_background_tick() to indicate it
runs on tick, not RUN_BACKGROUND_TASK.
* Marks serial connected when the display terminal is inited. This means
that safe mode messages show up on the display.
ACep, 7-color epaper displays also pack 3 bits in 4. So, I added that
support as well.
* Adds 3-bit ACeP color support for 7-color e-paper displays. (Not
watch related but similar due to color depth.)
* Allows a refresh sequence instead of a single int command. The 7" ACeP
display requires a data byte for refresh.
* Adds optional delay after resetting the display. The ACeP displays
need this. (Probably to load LUTs from flash.)
* Adds a cleaning phase for ACeP displays before the real refresh.
For both:
* Add dither support to Palette.
* Palette no longer converts colors when set. Instead, it caches
converted colors at each index.
* ColorConverter now caches the last converted color. It should make
conversions faster for repeated colors (not dithering.)
It keeps compatibility with the XIAO bootloader by:
- using Soft Device 7.3.0
- reserving 48k memory for the bootloader.
So on double reset a drive pops for uploading an uf2 image or a nrfutil zip
pkg file. Instructions to create it from a hex file are included. The
bootloader can as well be activated with the touch 1200 option of nrfutil.
The script download_ble_stack.sh has been adapted to get the version 7.3.0
soft device files. It may have to be executed once before building.
The file system is set to 256k and the pin definitions are adapted.
Besides that, it has the common functionality and omissions. The on-board
sensors and additional flash can be supported by Python scripts.
