In non-blocking mode (timeout=0), uart.write() can now transmit all of its
data without raising an exception. uart.read() also works correctly in
this mode.
As part of this patch, timout_char now has a minimum value which is long
enough to transfer 1 character.
Addresses issue #1533.
In particular, dates prior to Mar 1, 2000 are screwed up.
The easiest way to see this is to do:
>>> import time
>>> time.localtime(0)
(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 5, 1)
>>> time.localtime(1)
(2000, 1, 2, 233, 197, 197, 6, 2)
With this patch, we instead get:
>>> import time
>>> time.localtime(1)
(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 5, 1)
Doh - In C % is NOT a modulo operator, it's a remainder operator.
UART object now uses a stream-like interface: read, readall, readline,
readinto, readchar, write, writechar.
Timeouts are configured when the UART object is initialised, using
timeout and timeout_char keyword args.
The object includes optional read buffering, using interrupts. You can set
the buffer size dynamically using read_buf_len keyword arg. A size of 0
disables buffering.
In tests/pyb is now a suite of tests that tests the pyb module on the
pyboard. They include expected output files because we can't run
CPython on the pyboard to compare against.
run-tests script has now been updated to allow pyboard tests to be run.
Just pass the option --pyboard. This runs all basic, float and pyb
tests. Note that float/math-fun.py currently fails because not all math
functions are implemented in stmhal/.
