ESP-NOW is a proprietary wireless communication protocol which supports
connectionless communication between ESP32 and ESP8266 devices, using
vendor specific WiFi frames. This commit adds support for this protocol
through a new `espnow` module.
This commit builds on original work done by @nickzoic, @shawwwn and with
contributions from @zoland. Features include:
- Use of (extended) ring buffers in py/ringbuf.[ch] for robust IO.
- Signal strength (RSSI) monitoring.
- Core support in `_espnow` C module, extended by `espnow.py` module.
- Asyncio support via `aioespnow.py` module (separate to this commit).
- Docs provided at `docs/library/espnow.rst`.
Methods available in espnow.ESPNow class are:
- active(True/False)
- config(): set rx buffer size, read timeout and tx rate
- recv()/irecv()/recvinto() to read incoming messages from peers
- send() to send messages to peer devices
- any() to test if a message is ready to read
- irq() to set callback for received messages
- stats() returns transfer stats:
(tx_pkts, tx_pkt_responses, tx_failures, rx_pkts, lost_rx_pkts)
- add_peer(mac, ...) registers a peer before sending messages
- get_peer(mac) returns peer info: (mac, lmk, channel, ifidx, encrypt)
- mod_peer(mac, ...) changes peer info parameters
- get_peers() returns all peer info tuples
- peers_table supports RSSI signal monitoring for received messages:
{peer1: [rssi, time_ms], peer2: [rssi, time_ms], ...}
ESP8266 is a pared down version of the ESP32 ESPNow support due to code
size restrictions and differences in the low-level API. See docs for
details.
Also included is a test suite in tests/multi_espnow. This tests basic
espnow data transfer, multiple transfers, various message sizes, encrypted
messages (pmk and lmk), and asyncio support.
Initial work is from https://github.com/micropython/micropython/pull/4115.
Initial import of code is from:
https://github.com/nickzoic/micropython/tree/espnow-4115.
Rather than duplicating the implementation of `network`, this allows
ESP8266 to use the shared one in extmod. In particular this gains access
to network.hostname and network.country.
Other than adding these two methods, there is no other user-visible change.

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.
This work was funded through GitHub Sponsors.

This makes it so that all a port needs to do is set the relevant variables
and "include extmod.mk" and doesn't need to worry about adding anything to
OBJ, CFLAGS, SRC_QSTR, etc.
Make all extmod variables (src, flags, etc) private to extmod.mk.
Also move common/shared, extmod-related fragments (e.g. wiznet, cyw43,
bluetooth) into extmod.mk.
Now that SRC_MOD, CFLAGS_MOD, CXXFLAGS_MOD are unused by both extmod.mk
(and user-C-modules in a previous commit), remove all uses of them from
port makefiles.

For bare metal ARM & xtensa targets, passing -g will make the ELF file
larger but doesn't change the binary size. However, this means tools like
gdb, addr2line, etc can extract source-level information from the ELF.
Also standardise -ggdb to -g, these produce the exact same ELF file on
arm-none-eabi-gcc and will use DWARF format for all these ports.
This separates extmod source files from `py.mk`. Previously, `py.mk`
assumed that every consumer of the py/ directory also wanted to include
extmod/. However, this is not the case. For example, building mpy-cross
uses py/ but doesn't need extmod/.
This commit moves all extmod-specific items from `py.mk` to `extmod.mk` and
explicitly includes `extmod.mk` in ports that use it.

The following changes are made:
- Guard entire file with MICROPY_PY_LWIP, so it can be included in the
build while still being disabled (for consistency with other extmod
modules).
- Add modlwip.c to list of all extmod source in py/py.mk and
extmod/extmod.cmake so all ports can easily use it.
- Move generic modlwip GIT_SUBMODULES build configuration code from
ports/rp2/CMakeLists.txt to extmod/extmod.cmake, so it can be reused by
other ports.
- Remove now unnecessary inclusion of modlwip.c in EXTMOD_SRC_C in esp8266
port, and in SRC_QSTR in mimxrt port.

The main functionality of this info function is available via the existing
micropython.mem_info() and micropython.qstr_info() functions. The printing
of the address space layout doesn't add much and removing esp.info() saves
about 600 bytes.

This commit refactors machine.PWM and creates extmod/machine_pwm.c. The
esp8266, esp32 and rp2 ports all use this and provide implementations of
the required PWM functionality. This helps to reduce code duplication and
keep the same Python API across ports.
This commit does not make any functional changes.

This commit removes release-specific builds for the esp8266 and makes the
normal build of the GENERIC board more like the release build. This makes
esp8266 like all the other ports, for which there is no difference between
a daily build and a release build, making things less confusing.
Release builds were previously defined by UART_OS=-1 (disable OS messages)
and using manifest_release.py to include more frozen modules.
The changes in this commit are:
- Remove manifest_release.py.
- Add existing modules from manifest_release.py (except example code)
to the GENERIC board's manifest.py file.
- Change UART_OS default to -1 to disable OS messages by default.

This change is made for two reasons:
1. A 3rd-party library (eg berkeley-db-1.xx, axtls) may use the system
provided errno for certain errors, and yet MicroPython stream objects
that it calls will be using the internal mp_stream_errno. So if the
library returns an error it is not known whether the corresponding errno
code is stored in the system errno or mp_stream_errno. Using the system
errno in all cases (eg in the mp_stream_posix_XXX wrappers) fixes this
ambiguity.
2. For systems that have threading the system-provided errno should always
be used because the errno value is thread-local.
For systems that do not have an errno, the new lib/embed/__errno.c file is
provided.
This commit changes the esp8266 boards to use littlefs v2 as the
filesystem, rather than FAT. Since the esp8266 doesn't expose the
filesystem to the PC over USB there's no strong reason to keep it as FAT.
Littlefs is smaller in code size, is more efficient in use of flash to
store data, is resilient over power failure, and using it saves about 4k of
heap RAM, which can now be used for other things.
This is a backwards incompatible change because all existing esp8266 boards
will need to update their filesystem after installing new firmware (eg
backup old files, install firmware, restore files to new filesystem).
As part of this commit the memory layout of the default board (GENERIC) has
changed. It now allocates all 1M of memory-mapped flash to the firmware,
so the filesystem area starts at the 2M point. This is done to allow more
frozen bytecode to be stored in the 1M of memory-mapped flash. This
requires an esp8266 module with 2M or more of flash to work, so a new board
called GENERIC_1M is added which has the old memory-mapping (but still
changed to use littlefs for the filesystem).
In summary there are now 3 esp8266 board definitions:
- GENERIC_512K: for 512k modules, doesn't have a filesystem.
- GENERIC_1M: for 1M modules, 572k for firmware+frozen code, 396k for
filesystem (littlefs).
- GENERIC: for 2M (or greater) modules, 968k for firmware+frozen code,
1M+ for filesystem (littlefs), FAT driver also included in firmware for
use on, eg, external SD cards.
This function is not used by the core but having it as part of the build
allows it to be used by user C modules, or board extensions. The linker
won't include it in the final firmware if it remains unused.
This commit removes the Makefile-level MICROPY_FATFS config and moves the
MICROPY_VFS_FAT config to the Makefile level to replace it. It also moves
the include of the oofatfs source files in the build from each port to a
central place in extmod/extmod.mk.
For a port to enabled VFS FAT support it should now set MICROPY_VFS_FAT=1
at the level of the Makefile. This will include the relevant oofatfs files
in the build and set MICROPY_VFS_FAT=1 at the C (preprocessor) level.
The specific board can be selected with the BOARD makefile variable. This
defaults (if not specified) to BOARD=GENERIC, which is the original default
firmware build. For the 512k target use BOARD=GENERIC_512K.
Building axtls gives a lot of warnings with -Wall enabled, and explicitly
disabling all of them cannot be done in a way compatible with gcc and
clang, and likely other compilers. So just use -Wno-all to prevent all of
the extra warnings (in addition to the necessary -Wno-unused-parameter,
-Wno-uninitialized, -Wno-sign-compare and -Wno-old-style-definition).
Fixes issue #4182.
This patch takes the software SPI implementation from extmod/machine_spi.c
and moves it to a dedicated file in drivers/bus/softspi.c. This allows the
SPI driver to be used independently of the uPy runtime, making it a more
general component.
These were copied from the stm32 port (then stmhal) at the very beginning
of this port, with the anticipation that the esp8266 port would have board
definition files with a list of valid pins and their names. But that has
not been implemented and likely won't be, so remove the corresponding lines
from the Makefile.
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.
