Another reduction of -48 bytes can be had if the fine calculation
step is skipped. The worst difference compared to the old reference
code with my calibration values in the 0° to 60° was 2°C,
and the difference at 25°C is 1°C.
The final size decrease for non-full builds like Trinket M0 is 268
bytes.
Perform most arithmetic with scaled integer values.
For my calibration values
```
const uint32_t NVMCTRL_TEMP_LOG[]={0xfc05511e, 0xcc7ac0f7};
```
the maximum difference between the old and new calculation is 0.50°C.
The difference is smallest (0.13°) at 25.87°C in the old scale.
This reduces mcu_processor_get_temperature from 568 bytes to 348 bytes
(-220 bytes)
This tweaks the RMT timing to better match the 1/3 and 2/3 of 800khz
guideline for timing. It also ensures a delay of 300 microseconds
with the line low before reset.
Pin reset is now changed to the IDF default which pulls the pin up
rather than CircuitPython's old behavior of floating the pin.

Initially enabled for samd51, this enables reading raw flux data as well
as DOS/MFM formatted media.
This is only the low-level code for reading & decoding flux pulses from a floppy drive.
high level details will live in a Python library.
adafruit-circuitpython-floppy will take care of details like stepping
from track to track, etc.
The port is free to return NULL for any/all of these, and the caller has
to check.
This will be used in the floppy code, because aside from getting the
registers, it looks like all is independent of MCU.
This targets the 64-bit CPU Raspberry Pis. The BCM2711 on the Pi 4
and the BCM2837 on the Pi 3 and Zero 2W. There are 64-bit fixes
outside of the ports directory for it.
There are a couple other cleanups that were incidental:
* Use const mcu_pin_obj_t instead of omitting the const. The structs
themselves are const because they are in ROM.
* Use PTR <-> OBJ conversions in more places. They were found when
mp_obj_t was set to an integer type rather than pointer.
* Optimize submodule checkout because the Pi submodules are heavy
and unnecessary for the vast majority of builds.
Fixes#4314
It's intended that the actual timeout always be at least the requested
timeout. However, due to multiplying by the wrong factor to get from
seconds to cycles, a timeout request of e.g., 8.1s (which is less than
8.192s) would give an actual timeout of 8, not 16 as it should.
By having a pair of buffers, the capture hardware can fill one buffer while
Python code (including displayio, etc) operates on the other buffer. This
increases the responsiveness of camera-using code.
On the Kaluga it makes the following improvements:
* 320x240 viewfinder at 30fps instead of 15fps using directio
* 240x240 animated gif capture at 10fps instead of 7.5fps
As discussed at length on Discord, the "usual end user" code will look like
this:
camera = ...
with camera.continuous_capture(buffer1, buffer2) as capture:
for frame in capture:
# Do something with frame
However, rather than presenting a context manager, the core code consists of
three new functions to start & stop continuous capture, and to get the next
frame. The reason is twofold. First, it's simply easier to implement the
context manager object in pure Python. Second, for more advanced usage, the
context manager may be too limiting, and it's easier to iterate on the right
design in Python code. In particular, I noticed that adapting the
JPEG-capturing programs to use continuous capture mode needed a change in
program structure.
The camera app was structured as
```python
while True:
if shutter button was just pressed:
capture a jpeg frame
else:
update the viewfinder
```
However, "capture a jpeg frame" needs to (A) switch the camera settings and (B)
capture into a different, larger buffer then (C) return to the earlier
settings. This can't be done during continuous capture mode. So just
restructuring it as follows isn't going to work:
```python
with camera.continuous_capture(buffer1, buffer2) as capture:
for frame in capture:
if shutter button was just pressed:
capture a jpeg frame, without disturbing continuous capture mode
else:
update the viewfinder
```
The continuous mode is only implemented in the espressif port; others
will throw an exception if the associated methods are invoked. It's not
impossible to implement there, just not a priority, since these micros don't
have enough RAM for two framebuffer copies at any resonable sizes.
The capture code, including single-shot capture, now take mp_obj_t in the
common-hal layer, instead of a buffer & length. This was done for the
continuous capture mode because it has to identify & return to the user the
proper Python object representing the original buffer. In the Espressif port,
it was convenient to implement single capture in terms of a multi-capture,
which is why I changed the singleshot routine's signature too.
