In cases where more than one board is connected to a single computer it can become pretty hard to figure out which board you're actually talking to. For example, if you have several MIDI-compatible boards they all show up as "CircuitPython MIDI". This change allows boards to replace the "CircuitPython" part of their USB descriptors with more specific text, for example, "CircuitPython Feather" or just "Feather". This will let folks more easily tell boards apart.
The new option is named `USB_INTERFACE_NAME` and is available in `mkconfigboard.mk`. For example:
```
USB_INTERFACE_NAME = "Feather"
```
While the new manifest.py style got introduced for freezing python code
into the resulting binary, the old way - where files and modules within
ports/*/modules where baked into the resulting binary - was still
supported via `freeze('$(PORT_DIR)/modules')` within manifest.py.
However behaviour changed for symlinked directories (=modules), as those
links weren't followed anymore.
This commit restores the original behaviour by explicitly following
symlinks within a modules/ directory
When loading a manifest file, e.g. by include(), it will chdir first to the
directory of that manifest. This means that all file operations within a
manifest are relative to that manifest's location.
As a consequence of this, additional environment variables are needed to
find absolute paths, so the following are added: $(MPY_LIB_DIR),
$(PORT_DIR), $(BOARD_DIR). And rename $(MPY) to $(MPY_DIR) to be
consistent.
Existing manifests are updated to match.
This introduces a new build variable FROZEN_MANIFEST which can be set to a
manifest listing (written in Python) that describes the set of files to be
frozen in to the firmware.
Instead of encoding 4 zero bytes as placeholders for the simple_name and
source_file qstrs, and storing the qstrs after the bytecode, store the
qstrs at the location of these 4 bytes. This saves 4 bytes per bytecode
function stored in a .mpy file (for example lcd160cr.mpy drops by 232
bytes, 4x 58 functions). And resulting code size is slightly reduced on
ports that use this feature.
This patch compresses the second part of the bytecode prelude which
contains the source file name, function name, source-line-number mapping
and cell closure information. This part of the prelude now begins with a
single varible length unsigned integer which encodes 2 numbers, being the
byte-size of the following 2 sections in the header: the "source info
section" and the "closure section". After decoding this variable unsigned
integer it's possible to skip over one or both of these sections very
easily.
This scheme saves about 2 bytes for most functions compared to the original
format: one in the case that there are no closure cells, and one because
padding was eliminated.
The start of the bytecode prelude contains 6 numbers telling the amount of
stack needed for the Python values and exceptions, and the signature of the
function. Prior to this patch these numbers were all encoded one after the
other (2x variable unsigned integers, then 4x bytes), but using so many
bytes is unnecessary.
An entropy analysis of around 150,000 bytecode functions from the CPython
standard library showed that the optimal Shannon coding would need about
7.1 bits on average to encode these 6 numbers, compared to the existing 48
bits.
This patch attempts to get close to this optimal value by packing the 6
numbers into a single, varible-length unsigned integer via bit-wise
interleaving. The interleaving scheme is chosen to minimise the average
number of bytes needed, and at the same time keep the scheme simple enough
so it can be implemented without too much overhead in code size or speed.
The scheme requires about 10.5 bits on average to store the 6 numbers.
As a result most functions which originally took 6 bytes to encode these 6
numbers now need only 1 byte (in 80% of cases).
Prior to this patch mp_opcode_format would calculate the incorrect size of
the MP_BC_UNWIND_JUMP opcode, missing the additional byte. But, because
opcodes below 0x10 are unused and treated as bytes in the .mpy load/save
and freezing code, this bug did not show any symptoms, since nested unwind
jumps would rarely (if ever) reach a depth of 16 (so the extra byte of this
opcode would be between 0x01 and 0x0f and be correctly loaded/saved/frozen
simply as an undefined opcode).
This patch fixes this bug by correctly accounting for the additional byte.

- Split 'qemu-arm' from 'unix' for generating tests.
- Add frozen module to the qemu-arm test build.
- Add test that reproduces the requirement to half-word align native
function data.
Use "-f" to select filesystem mode, followed by the command to execute.
Optionally put ":" at the start of a filename to indicate that it's on the
remote device, if it would otherwise be ambiguous.
Examples:
$ pyboard.py -f ls
$ pyboard.py -f cat main.py
$ pyboard.py -f cp :main.py . # get from device
$ pyboard.py -f cp main.py : # put to device
$ pyboard.py -f rm main.py
This also improves Palette so it stores the original RGB888 colors.
Lastly, it adds I2CDisplay as a display bus to talk over I2C. Particularly
useful for the SSD1306.
Fixes#1828. Fixes#1956
This fixes the bug that bitmap changes do not cause screen updates
and optimizes the refresh when the bitmap is simply shown on the
screen. If the bitmap is used in tiles, then changing it will
cause all TileGrids using it to do a full refresh.
Fixes#1981
Instead of iterating over all the glyphs and calculating the maximum
width and height, use the FONTBOUNDINGBOX to determine the size of a
tile for terminalio.
This works better with fonts such as generated by FontForge, that don't
include the empty space in the glyph bitmap itself. It also lets the
font author specify vertical spacing they want.
I only tested this with the default font and with one I generated with
FontForge.
Different operations to the display tree have different costs. Be
aware of these costs when optimizing your code.
* Changing tiles indices in a TileGrid will update an area
covering them all.
* Changing a palette will refresh every object that references it.
* Moving a TileGrid will update both where it was and where it moved to.
* Adding something to a Group will refresh each individual area it
covers.
* Removing things from a Group will refresh one area that covers all
previous locations. (Not separate areas like add.)
* Setting a new top level Group will refresh the entire display.
Only TileGrid moves are optimized for overlap. All other overlaps
cause sending of duplicate pixels.
This also adds flip_x, flip_y and transpose_xy to TileGrid. They
change the direction of the pixels but not the location.
Fixes#1169. Fixes#1705. Fixes#1923.
Previously, when linking qstr objects in native code for ARM Thumb, the
index into the machine code was being incremented by 4, not 8. It should
be 8 to account for the size of the two machine instructions movw and movt.
This patch makes sure the index into the machine code is incremented by the
correct amount for all variations of qstr linking.
See issue #4829.
Fixes errors in the tool when 1) linking qstrs in native ARM-M code; 2)
freezing multiple files some of which use native code and some which don't.
Fixes issue #4829.
This changes the displayio pixel computation from per-pixel to
per-area. This is precursor work to updating portions of the screen
(#1169). It should provide mild speedups because bounds checks are
done once per area rather than once per pixel. Filling by area also
allows TileGrid to maintain a row-associative fill pattern even when
the display's refresh is orthogonal to it.
The user can now select their own package index by either passing the "-i"
command line option, or setting the upip.index_urls variable (before doing
an install).
The https://micropython.org/pi package index hosts packages from
micropython-lib and will be searched first when installing a package. If a
package is not found here then it will fallback to PyPI.
Prior to this patch, when a lot of data was output by a running script
pyboard.py would try to capture all of this output into the "data"
variable, which would gradually slow down pyboard.py to the point where it
would have large CPU and memory usage (on the host) and potentially lose
data.
This patch fixes this problem by not accumulating the data in the case that
the data is not needed, which is when "data_consumer" is used.
The qstr window size is not log-2 encoded, it's just the actual number (but
in mpy-tool.py this didn't lead to an error because the size is just used
to truncate the window so it doesn't grow arbitrarily large in memory).
Addresses issue #4635.
This system makes it a lot easier to include external libraries as static,
native modules in MicroPython. Simply pass USER_C_MODULES (like
FROZEN_MPY_DIR) as a make parameter.
When encoded in the mpy file, if qstr <= QSTR_LAST_STATIC then store two
bytes: 0, static_qstr_id. Otherwise encode the qstr as usual (either with
string data or a reference into the qstr window).
Reduces mpy file size by about 5%.
Instead of emitting two bytes in the bytecode for where the linked qstr
should be written to, it is now replaced by the actual qstr data, or a
reference into the qstr window.
Reduces mpy file size by about 10%.
This is an implementation of a sliding qstr window used to reduce the
number of qstrs stored in a .mpy file. The window size is configured to 32
entries which takes a fixed 64 bytes (16-bits each) on the C stack when
loading/saving a .mpy file. It allows to remember the most recent 32 qstrs
so they don't need to be stored again in the .mpy file. The qstr window
uses a simple least-recently-used mechanism to discard the least recently
used qstr when the window overflows (similar to dictionary compression).
This scheme only needs a single pass to save/load the .mpy file.
Reduces mpy file size by about 25% with a window size of 32.
POP_BLOCK and POP_EXCEPT are now the same, and are always followed by a
JUMP. So this optimisation reduces code size, and RAM usage of bytecode by
two bytes for each try-except handler.
This changes a number of things in displayio:
* Introduces BuiltinFont and Glyph so the built in font can be used by libraries. For boards with
a font it is available as board.TERMINAL_FONT. Fixes#1172
* Remove _load_row from Bitmap in favor of bitmap[] access. Index can be x/y tuple or overall index. Fixes#1191
* Add width and height properties to Bitmap.
* Add insert and [] access to Group. Fixes#1518
* Add index param to pop on Group.
* Terminal no longer takes unicode character info. It takes a BuiltinFont instead.
* Fix Terminal's handling of [###D vt100 commands used when up arrowing into repl history.
* Add x and y positions to Group plus scale as well.
* Add bitmap accessor for BuiltinFont
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.
If you happen to only have a really simple frozen file that doesn't contain
any new qstrs then the generated frozen_mpy.c file contains an empty
enumeration which causes a C compile time error.
Following an equivalent fix to py/bc.c. The reason the incorrect values
for the opcode constants were not previously causing a bug is because they
were never being used: these opcodes always have qstr arguments so the part
of the code that was comparing them would never be reached.
Thanks to @malinah for finding the problem and providing the initial patch.
A DFU device must be in the idle state before it can be programmed, and
this requires either clearing the status or aborting, depending on its
current state. Code is added to do this. And the USB transfer size is now
automatically detected so devices with a size less than 2048 bytes work
correctly.
This started while adding USB MIDI support (and descriptor support is
in this change.) When seeing that I'd have to implement the MIDI class
logic twice, once for atmel-samd and once for nrf, I decided to refactor
the USB stack so its shared across ports. This has led to a number of
changes that remove items from the ports folder and move them into
supervisor.
Furthermore, we had external SPI flash support for nrf pending so I
factored out the connection between the usb stack and the flash API as
well. This PR also includes the QSPI support for nRF.
Some Python linters don't like unconditional except clauses because they
catch SystemExit and KeyboardInterrupt, which usually is not the intended
behaviour.
There appears to be an issue on Windows with CPython >= 3.6,
sys.stdout.flush() raises an exception:
OSError: [WinError 87] The parameter is incorrect
It works fine to just catch and ignore the error on the flush line. Tested
on Windows 10 x64 1803 (Build 17134.228), Python 3.6.4 amd64.
This saves code space in builds which use link-time optimization.
The optimization drops the untranslated strings and replaces them
with a compressed_string_t struct. It can then be decompressed to
a c string.
Builds without LTO work as well but include both untranslated
strings and compressed strings.
This work could be expanded to include QSTRs and loaded strings if
a compress method is added to C. Its tracked in #531.
The Python documentation recommends to pass the command as a string when
using Popen(..., shell=True). This is because "sh -c <string>" is used to
execute the command and additional arguments after the command string are
passed to the shell itself (not the executing command).

The first dynamic qstr pool is double the size of the 'alloc' field of
the last const qstr pool. The built in const qstr pool
(mp_qstr_const_pool) has a hardcoded alloc size of 10, meaning that the
first dynamic pool is allocated space for 20 entries. The alloc size
must be less than or equal to the actual number of qstrs in the pool
(the 'len' field) to ensure that the first dynamically created qstr
triggers the creation of a new pool.
When modules are frozen a second const pool is created (generally
mp_qstr_frozen_const_pool) and linked to the built in pool. However,
this second const pool had its 'alloc' field set to the number of qstrs
in the pool. When freezing a large quantity of modules this can result
in thousands of qstrs being in the pool. This means that the first
dynamically created qstr results in a massive allocation. This commit
sets the alloc size of the frozen qstr pool to 10 or less (if the number
of qstrs in the pool is less than 10). The result of this is that the
allocation behaviour when a dynamic qstr is created is identical with an
without frozen code.
Note that there is the potential for a slight memory inefficiency if the
frozen modules have less than 10 qstrs, as the first few dynamic
allocations will have quite a large overhead, but the geometric growth
soon deals with this.
The ST DFU bootloader supports a transfer size up to 2048 bytes, so send
that much data on each download (to device) packet. This almost halves
total download time.
- moving Makefile to parent folder. This resolves some of the weird path/build issues
- remove trace references to cpydiff and original file (no longer used anywhere)
- converting SOURCEDIR to a changeable variable, passed through all sphinx-build calls
- adding path to conf.py, in case it moves again
- making `-v` default with VERBOSE
- making `-E` default with FORCE
- creating BASEOPTS to store all the dirs, paths, and settings, passing them to sphinx-build in one long chain, instead of individually
- updating README to use the make command as default. Also added text explaining some of the customization you can add into a make command
1. Make _extext and _sidata coincide. Old _etext location did not include
.ARM.exidx sections, which were usually absent but not always. So flash
data was copied to RAM in wrong place.
2. Use decimal constants with "K" and "M" suffixes in .ld files instead
of hex constants, to make them easier to read and check for accuracy.
Instead of passing thru more and more options from tinytest-codegen to
run-tests --list-tests, pipe output of run-tests --list-tests into
tinytest-codegen.
Gets passed to run-tests --list-tests to get actual list of tests to use.
If --target= is not given, legacy set hardcoded in tinytest-codegen itself
is used.
Also, get rid of tinytest test groups - they aren't really used for
anything, and only complicate processing. Besides, one of the next
step is to limit number of tests per a generated file to control
the binary size, which also will require "flat" list of tests.
The way tinytest was used in qemu-arm test target is that it didn't test
much. MicroPython tests are based on matching the test output against
reference output, but qemu-arm's implementation didn't do that, it
effectively tested just that there was no exception during test
execution. "upytesthelper" wrapper was introduce to fix it, and so
test generator is now switched to generate test code for it.
Also, fix PEP8 and other codestyle issues.
This does two major things:
1. It stores the arm gcc in the repo. The download from the PPA was taking between 2 and 7 minutes.
2. It splits each board into a separate job so they are built in parallel.
Introduction of ports subdirectory where all ports are moved to
The main change in this release is the introduction of a "ports/"
subdirectory at the top-level of the repository, and all of the ports are
moved here. In the process the "stmhal" port is renamed to "stm32" to
better reflect the MCU that it targets. In addition, the STM32 CMSIS and
HAL sources are moved to a new submodule called "stm32lib".
The bytecode has changed in this release, compared to the previous release,
and as a consequence the .mpy version number has increased to version 3.
This means that scripts compiled with the previous mpy-cross must be
recompiled to work with this new version.
There have also been various enhancements and optimisations, such as:
check for valid UTF-8 when creating str objects, support for reverse
special binary operations like __radd__, full domain checking in the math
module, support for floor-division and modulo in the viper emitter,
and addition of stack overflow checking when executing a regex.
The stm32 port sees improved support for F7 MCUs, addition of a new board
B_L475E_IOT01A based on the STM32L475, and support for the Wiznet W5500
chipset along with improved socket behaviour.

* Introduce a python script to generate the USB descriptor instead of
a bunch of C macros. In the future, we can use this dynamically in
CircuitPython.
* Add support for detecting read-only mass storage mounts.
Fixes#377
* atmel-samd: Remove ASF3. This will break builds.
* atmel-samd: Add ASF4 for the SAMD21 and SAMD51.
* Introduce the supervisor concept to facilitate porting.
The supervisor is the code which runs individual MicroPython VMs. By
splitting it out we make it more consistent and easier to find.
This also adds very basic SAMD21 and SAMD51 support using the
supervisor. Only the REPL currently works.
This begins the work for #178.
This introduces a skip_if module that can be used by tests to
determine when they should be skipped due to the environment.
Some tests have been split in order to have finer grained skip
control.
Fixes for stmhal USB mass storage, lwIP bindings and VFS regressions
This release provides an important fix for the USB mass storage device in
the stmhal port by implementing the SCSI SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE command, which
is now require by some Operating Systems. There are also fixes for the
lwIP bindings to improve non-blocking sockets and error codes. The VFS has
some regressions fixed including the ability to statvfs the root.

This patch allows the following code to run without allocating on the heap:
super().foo(...)
Before this patch such a call would allocate a super object on the heap and
then load the foo method and call it right away. The super object is only
needed to perform the lookup of the method and not needed after that. This
patch makes an optimisation to allocate the super object on the C stack and
discard it right after use.
Changes in code size due to this patch are:
bare-arm: +128
minimal: +232
unix x64: +416
unix nanbox: +364
stmhal: +184
esp8266: +340
cc3200: +128
This allows to execute a command and communicate with its stdin/stdout
via pipes ("exec") or with command-created pseudo-terminal ("execpty"),
to emulate serial access. Immediate usecase is controlling a QEMU process
which emulates board's serial via normal console, but it could be used
e.g. with helper binaries to access real board over other hadware
protocols, etc.
An example of device specification for these cases is:
--device exec:../zephyr/qemu.sh
--device execpty:../zephyr/qemu2.sh
Where qemu.sh contains long-long qemu startup line, or calls another
command. There's a special support in this patch for running the command
in a new terminal session, to support shell wrappers like that (without
new terminal session, only wrapper script would be terminated, but its
child processes would continue to run).
This patch introduces the a small framework to track differences between
uPy and CPython. The framework consists of:
- A set of "tests" which test for an individual feature that differs between
uPy and CPy. Each test is like a normal uPy test in the test suite, but
has a special comment at the start with some meta-data: a category (eg
syntax, core language), a human-readable description of the difference, a
cause, and a workaround. Following the meta-data there is a short code
snippet which demonstrates the difference. See tests/cpydiff directory
for the initial set of tests.
- A program (this patch) which runs all the tests (on uPy and CPy) and
generates nicely-formated .rst documenting the differences.
- Integration into the docs build so that everything is automatic, and the
differences appear in a way that is easy for users to read/reference (see
latter commits).
The idea with using this new framework is:
- When a new difference is found it's easy to write a short test for it,
along with a description, and add it to the existing ones. It's also easy
for contributors to submit tests for differences they find.
- When something is no longer different the tool will give an error and
difference can be removed (or promoted to a proper feature test).
Previous to this patch the qemu-arm tests were compiled with is_relp=true
meaning that the __repl_print__ function was called for all lines of code
in the outer scope. This is not the right behaviour for scripts that are
executed as though they were a file (eg tests).
With this fix the micropython/heapalloc_str.py test now works so it is
removed from the test blacklist.
Support for Xtensa emitter and assembler, and upgraded F4 and F7 STM HAL
This release adds support for the Xtensa architecture as a target for the
native emitter, as well as Xtensa inline assembler. The int.from_bytes
and int.to_bytes methods now require a second argument (the byte order)
per CPython (only "little" is supported at this time). The "readall"
method has been removed from all stream classes that used it; "read" with
no arguments should be used instead. There is now support for importing
packages from compiled .mpy files. Test coverage is increased to 96%.
The generic I2C driver has improvements: configurable clock stretching
timeout, "stop" argument added to readfrom/writeto methods, "nack"
argument added to readinto, and write[to] now returns num of ACKs
received. The framebuf module now handles 16-bit depth (generic colour
format) and has hline, vline, rect, line methods. A new utimeq module is
added for efficient queue ordering defined by modulo time (to be
compatible with time.ticks_xxx functions). The pyboard.py script has been
modified so that the target board is not reset between scripts or commands
that are given on a single command line.
For the stmhal port the STM Cube HAL has been upgraded: Cube F4 HAL to
v1.13.1 (CMSIS 2.5.1, HAL v1.5.2) and Cube F7 HAL to v1.1.2. There is a
more robust pyb.I2C implementation (DMA is now disabled by default, can be
enabled via an option), and there is an implementation of machine.I2C with
robust error handling and hardware acceleration on F4 MCUs. It is now
recommended to use machine.I2C instead of pyb.I2C. The UART class is now
more robust with better handling of errors/timeouts. There is also more
accurate VBAT and VREFINT measurements for the ADC. New boards that are
supported include: NUCLEO_F767ZI, STM32F769DISC and NUCLEO_L476RG.
For the esp8266 port select/poll is now supported for sockets using the
uselect module. There is support for native and viper emitters, as well
as an inline assembler (with limited iRAM for storage of native functions,
or the option to store code to flash). There is improved software I2C
with a slight API change: scl/sda pins can be specified as positional only
when "-1" is passed as the first argument to indicate the use of software
I2C. It is recommended to use keyword arguments for scl/sda. There is
very early support for over-the-air (OTA) updates using the yaota8266
project.

With caching of map lookups in the bytecode, frozen bytecode can still
work but must be stored in RAM, not ROM. This patch allows mpy-tool.py to
generate code that works with this optimisation, but it's not recommended
to use it on embedded targets (because of lack of RAM).
Previous to this patch pyboard.py would open a new serial connection to
the target for each script that was run, and for any command that was run.
Apart from being inefficient, this meant that the board was soft-reset
between scripts/commands, which precludes scripts from accessing variables
set in a previous one.
This patch changes the behaviour of pyboard.py so that the connection to
the target is created only once, and it's not reset between scripts or any
command that is sent with the -c option.
To make its inclusion as frozen modules in multiple ports less magic.
Ports are just expected to symlink 2 files into their scripts/modules
subdirs.
Unix port updated to use this and in general follow frozen modules setup
tested and tried on baremetal ports, where there's "scripts" predefined
dir (overridable with FROZEN_DIR make var), and a user just drops Python
files there.
This helps to test floating point code on Cortex-M hardware.
As part of this patch the link-time-optimisation was disabled because it
wasn't compatible with software FP support. In particular, the linker
could not find the __aeabi_f2d, __aeabi_d2f etc functions even though they
were provided by lib/libm/math.c.
Frozen modules are now stored with extensions and with '/' as path
separator. In other words, frozen modules paths stored as they are
in normal filesystem.
When an mpy file is frozen it must know the values of certain
configuration variables. This patch provides an explicit check in the
generated C file that the configuration variables are what they are
supposed to be.
The config variable MICROPY_MODULE_FROZEN is now made of two separate
parts: MICROPY_MODULE_FROZEN_STR and MICROPY_MODULE_FROZEN_MPY. This
allows to have none, either or both of frozen strings and frozen mpy
files (aka frozen bytecode).
