This patch adds support to mboot for programming external SPI flash. It
allows SPI flash to be programmed via a USB DFU utility in the same way
that internal MCU flash is programmed.
Prior to this patch the QSPI driver assumed that the length of all data
reads and writes was a multiple of 4. This patch allows any length. Reads
are optimised for speed by using 32-bit transfers when possible, but writes
always use a byte transfer because they only use a single data IO line and
are relatively slow.
The DMA peripheral is limited to transferring 65535 elements at a time so
in order to send more than that the SPI driver must split the transfers up.
The user must be aware of this limit if they are relying on precise timing
of the entire SPI transfer, because there might be a small delay between
the split transfers.
Fixes issue #3851, and thanks to @kwagyeman for the original fix.
This behaviour of a NULL write C method on a stream that uses the write
adaptor objects is no longer supported. It was only ever used by the
coverage build for testing the fail path of mp_get_stream_raise().
With this patch objects are only checked that they have the stream protocol
at the start of their use as a stream, and afterwards the efficient
mp_get_stream() helper is used to extract the stream protocol C methods.
The existing mp_get_stream_raise() helper does explicit checks that the
input object is a real pointer object, has a non-NULL stream protocol, and
has the desired stream C method (read/write/ioctl). In most cases it is
not necessary to do these checks because it is guaranteed that the input
object has the stream protocol and desired C methods. For example, native
objects that use the stream wrappers (eg mp_stream_readinto_obj) in their
locals dict always have the stream protocol (or else they shouldn't have
these wrappers in their locals dict).
This patch introduces an efficient mp_get_stream() which doesn't do any
checks and just extracts the stream protocol struct. This should be used
in all cases where the argument object is known to be a stream. The
existing mp_get_stream_raise() should be used primarily to verify that an
object does have the correct stream protocol methods.
All uses of mp_get_stream_raise() in py/stream.c have been converted to use
mp_get_stream() because the argument is guaranteed to be a proper stream
object.
This patch improves efficiency of stream operations and reduces code size.
If the user button is held down indefinitely (eg unintenionally, or because
the GPIO signal of the user button is connected to some external device)
then it makes sense to end the reset mode cycle with the default mode of
1, which executes code as normal.
It's possible (at least on F4 MCU's) to have RXNE and STOPF set at the same
time during a call to the slave IRQ handler. In such cases RXNE should be
handled before STOPF so that all bytes are processed before
i2c_slave_process_rx_end() is called.
Due to buffering of outgoing bytes on the I2C bus, detection of a NACK
using the ISR_NACKF flag needs to account for the case where ISR_NACKF
corresponds to the previous-to-previous byte.
This patch renames the existing SPI flash API functions to reflect the fact
that the go through the cache:
mp_spiflash_flush -> mp_spiflash_cache_flush
mp_spiflash_read -> mp_spiflash_cached_read
mp_spiflash_write -> mp_spiflash_cached_write
This patch removes the global cache variables from the SPI flash driver and
now requires the user to provide the cache memory themselves, via the SPI
flash configuration struct. This allows to either have a shared cache for
multiple SPI flash devices (by sharing a mp_spiflash_cache_t struct), or
have a single cache per device (or a mix of these options).
To configure the cache use:
mp_spiflash_cache_t spi_bdev_cache;
const mp_spiflash_config_t spiflash_config =
// any bus options
.cache = &spi_bdev_cache,
};
This patch changes dupterm to call the native C stream methods on the
connected stream objects, instead of calling the Python readinto/write
methods. This is much more efficient for native stream objects like UART
and webrepl and doesn't require allocating a special dupterm array.
This change is a minor breaking change from the user's perspective because
dupterm no longer accepts pure user stream objects to duplicate on. But
with the recent addition of uio.IOBase it is possible to still create such
classes just by inheriting from uio.IOBase, for example:
import uio, uos
class MyStream(uio.IOBase):
def write(self, buf):
# existing write implementation
def readinto(self, buf):
# existing readinto implementation
uos.dupterm(MyStream())
Via the config value MICROPY_PY_UHASHLIB_SHA256. Default to enabled to
keep backwards compatibility.
Also add default value for the sha1 class, to at least document its
existence.
For consistency with other modules, and to help avoid clashes with the
actual underlying functions that do the hashing (eg
crypto-algorithms/sha256.c:sha256_update).
A user class derived from IOBase and implementing readinto/write/ioctl can
now be used anywhere a native stream object is accepted.
The mapping from C to Python is:
stream_p->read --> readinto(buf)
stream_p->write --> write(buf)
stream_p->ioctl --> ioctl(request, arg)
Among other things it allows the user to:
- create an object which can be passed as the file argument to print:
print(..., file=myobj), and then print will pass all the data to the
object via the objects write method (same as CPython)
- pass a user object to uio.BufferedWriter to buffer the writes (same as
CPython)
- use select.select on a user object
- register user objects with select.poll, in particular so user objects can
be used with uasyncio
- create user files that can be returned from user filesystems, and import
can import scripts from these user files
For example:
class MyOut(io.IOBase):
def write(self, buf):
print('write', repr(buf))
return len(buf)
print('hello', file=MyOut())
The feature is enabled via MICROPY_PY_IO_IOBASE which is disabled by
default.
