Introduces a new zephyr.FlashArea class that uses the zephyr flash map
api to implement the uos.AbstractBlockDev protocol. The flash driver is
enabled on the frdm_k64f board, reel_board, and rv32m1_vega_ri5cy board.
The standard and extended block device protocols are both supported,
therefore this class can be used with file systems like littlefs which
require the extended interface.
I2C can't be enabled in prj_base.conf because it's a board-specific
feature. For example, if a board doesn't have I2C but CONFIG_I2C=y then
the build will fail (on Zephyr build system side). The patch here gets the
qemu_cortex_m3 build working again.
Adds support for hardware i2c to the zephyr port. Similar to other ports
such as stm32 and nrf, we only implement the i2c protocol functions
(readfrom and writeto) and defer memory operations (readfrom_mem,
readfrom_mem_into, and writeto_mem) to the software i2c implementation.
This may need to change in the future because zephyr is considering
deprecating its i2c_transfer function in favor of i2c_write_read; in this
case we would probably want to implement the memory operations directly
using i2c_write_read.
Tested with the accelerometer on frdm_k64f and bbc_microbit boards.
This is to keep the top-level directory clean, to make it clear what is
core and what is a port, and to allow the repository to grow with new ports
in a sustainable way.
