Configuration for the build is now specified using sdkconfig rather than
sdkconfig.h, which allows for much easier configuration with defaults from
the ESP IDF automatically applied. sdkconfig.h is generated using the new
ESP IDF kconfig_new tool written in Python. Custom configuration for a
particular ESP32 board can be specified via the make variable SDKCONFIG.
The esp32.common.ld file is also now generated using the standard ESP IDF
ldgen.py tool.
When the ESP IDF builds a project it puts all separate components into
separate .a library archives. And then the esp32.common.ld linker script
references these .a libraries by explicit name to put certain object files
in iRAM.
This patch does a similar thing for the custom build system used here,
putting all IDF .o's into their respective .a. So a custom linker script
is no longer needed.
ISR's no longer need to be in iRAM, and the ESP IDF provides an option to
specify that they are in iRAM if an application needs lower latency when
handling them. But we don't use this feature for user interrupts: both
timer and gpio ISR routines are registered without the ESP_INTR_FLAG_IRAM
option, and so the scheduling code no longer needs to be in iRAM.
The new compile-time option is MICROPY_HW_USB_MAX_POWER_MA. Set this in
the board configuration file to the maximum current in mA that the board
will draw over USB. The default is 500mA.
The new compile-time option is MICROPY_HW_USB_SELF_POWERED. Set this
option to 1 in the board configuration file to indicate that the USB device
is self powered. This option is disabled by default (previous behaviour).
It can be that LSEON and LSERDY are set yet the RTC is not enabled (this
can happen for example when coming out of the ST DFU mode on an F405 with
the RTC not previously initialised). In such a case the RTC is never
started because the code thinks it's already running. This patch fixes
this case by always checking if RTCEN is set when booting up (and also
testing for a valid RTCSEL value in the case of using an LSE).
One can't use pthread calls in a signal handler because they are not
async-signal-safe (see man signal-safety). Instead, sem_post can be used
to post from within a signal handler and this should be more efficient than
using a busy wait loop, waiting on a volatile variable.
This header is deprecated as of mbedtls 2.8.0, as shipped with Ubuntu
18.04. Leads to #warning which is promoted to error with uPy compile
options.
Note that the current version of mbedtls is 2.14 at the time of writing.
The machine.sleep() function can be misleading because it clashes with
time.sleep() which has quite different semantics. So change it to
machine.lightsleep() which shows that it is closer in behaviour to
machine.deepsleep().
Also, add an optional argument to these two sleep functions to specify a
maximum time to sleep for. This is a common operation and underlying
hardware usually has a special way of performing this operation.
The existing machine.sleep() function will remain for backwards
compatibility purposes, and it can simply be an alias for
machine.lightsleep() without arguments. The behaviour will be the same.
If MICROPY_PERSISTENT_CODE_LOAD or MICROPY_ENABLE_COMPILER are enabled then
code gets enabled that calls file reading functions which may be disabled
if no readers have been implemented.
To fix this, introduce a MICROPY_HAS_FILE_READER variable, which is
automatically set if MICROPY_READER_POSIX or MICROPY_READER_VFS is set but
can also be manually set if a custom reader is being implemented. Then
disable the file reading calls if this is not set.
For architectures where size_t is less than 32 bits (eg 16 bits) the args
must be casted to uint32_t so the left shift will work. For architectures
where size_t is greater than 32 bits (eg 64 bits) this new casting will not
lose any bits because the end result must anyway fit in a uint32_t.
This aligns more closely with the hardware, that there are two, fixed HW
SPI peripherals. And it allows to recreate the HW SPI objects without
error, as well as create them again after a soft reset.
Fixes issue #4103.
In order to suit the more common 800KHz by default (instead of 400KHz), and
also have the same behaviour as the esp8266 port.
Resolves#4396.
Note! This is a breaking change. Anyone that has previously used the
NeoPixel class on an ESP32 board may be affected.
The original behaviour of open-drain-high was to use the open-drain mode of
the GPIO pin, and this seems to make driving a DHT more reliable. See
issue #4233.
The ESP IDF system already provides a math library, and that one is likely
to be better tuned to the Xtensa architecture. The IDF components are also
tested against its own math library, so best not to override it. Using the
system provided library also allows to easily switch to double-precision
floating point by changing MICROPY_FLOAT_IMPL to MICROPY_FLOAT_IMPL_DOUBLE.
So that the user can explicitly deactivate UART(0) if needed. See
issue #4314.
This introduces some risk to "brick" the device, if the user disables the
REPL without providing an alternative REPL (eg WebREPL), or any way to
reenable it. In such a case the device needs to be erased and
reprogrammed. This seems unavoidable, given the desire to have the option
to use the UART for something other than the REPL.
Without the static qualifier these objects will be kept by the linker even
if they are unused. So this patch saves some RAM when these features are
unused by a board.
If there are many short reads to a socket in a row (eg by readline) then
releasing and acquiring the GIL each time will give very poor throughput.
So first poll the socket to see if it has data, and if it does then don't
release the GIL.
Otherwise, if multiple threads are active, printing data to the REPL may be
very slow because in some cases only one character is output per call to
mp_hal_stdout_tx_strn.
Changes to the layout of the bytecode header meant that this debug code was
no longer compiling. This is now fixed and a new compile-time option is
introduced, MICROPY_DEBUG_VM_STACK_OVERFLOW, to turn on this feature (which
is disabled by default). This option is needed because more than one file
needs to cooperate to make this check work.
Under python3 (tested with 3.6.7) bytes with a list of integers as an
argument returns a different result than under python 2.7 (tested with
2.7.15rc1) which causes pydfu.py to fail when run under 2.7. Changing
bytes to bytearray makes pydfu work properly under both Python 2.7 and
Python 3.6.
On MCUs other than F4 the ORE (overrun error) flag needs to be cleared
independently of clearing RXNE, even though both are wired to trigger the
same RXNE IRQ. In the case that an overrun occurred it's necessary to
explicitly clear the ORE flag or else the RXNE interrupt will keep firing.
Otherwise IRQs may not be enabled for the user UART.irq() handler. In
particular this fixes the user IRQ_RXIDLE interrupt so that it triggers
even when there is no RX buffer.
