The Wio Terminal includes a RealTek RTL8720D as a companion to the main chip to provide WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities via eRPC over a UART connection. The WIO Terminal schematic labels some pins as the RXD/TXD for the UART, and that was captured in the board definition for CircuitPython. However, these pins may be used for logging in another mode, but they are not the main pins used to communicate with the RTL chip. The correct configuration is RX on PC24/pad 2 and TX on PB24/pad 0 of SERCOM 0. The comments on the pin definitions now reflect this situation, for anyone trying to get the WiFi/BLE to work on the Wio Terminal.
Previous pins definition stated that the UART1 RTS and CTS were not connected. They are connected and can currently be used via A1 and PWM0 respectively. To make things a little clearer, enabling the RTS1/CTS1.
In #7497 port_background_task was renamed to port_background_tick
but the actual call site wasn't changed. This meant that it was
no longer called!
Rename more functions from task to tick to make it clearer which is
which.
* Enable dcache for OCRAM where the VM heap lives.
* Add CIRCUITPY_SWO_TRACE for pushing program counters out over the
SWO pin via the ITM module in the CPU. Exempt some functions from
instrumentation to reduce traffic and allow inlining.
* Place more functions in ITCM to handle errors using code in RAM-only
and speed up CP.
* Use SET and CLEAR registers for digitalio. The SDK does read, mask
and write.
* Switch to 2MiB reserved for CircuitPython code. Up from 1MiB.
* Run USB interrupts during flash erase and write.
* Allow storage writes from CP if the USB drive is disabled.
* Get perf bench tests running on CircuitPython and increase timeouts
so it works when instrumentation is active.
It now handles deinit, never_reset and sharing tracking. PWM
now runs in the WAIT state as well during a time.sleep().
_reset_ok() was removed because it was called in one spot right
before deinit().
Some PWMOut were also switched to a bitmap for use instead of
reference count. That way init and deinit are idempotent.
Fixes#6589. Fixes#4841. Fixes#4541.
This 2-in-1 PR started with the goal of support the Bangle.js 2
smartwatch with *no USB*.
* Adds "secure" DFU build support with a committed private key.
* Adds 3-bit color support with one dummy bit for the JDI memory display
* Allows nrf boards to have a board_background_task() run in RUN_BACKGROUND_TASK.
This is needed because the Bangle.js 2 uses the watchdog to reset.
* Renamed port_background_task() to port_background_tick() to indicate it
runs on tick, not RUN_BACKGROUND_TASK.
* Marks serial connected when the display terminal is inited. This means
that safe mode messages show up on the display.
ACep, 7-color epaper displays also pack 3 bits in 4. So, I added that
support as well.
* Adds 3-bit ACeP color support for 7-color e-paper displays. (Not
watch related but similar due to color depth.)
* Allows a refresh sequence instead of a single int command. The 7" ACeP
display requires a data byte for refresh.
* Adds optional delay after resetting the display. The ACeP displays
need this. (Probably to load LUTs from flash.)
* Adds a cleaning phase for ACeP displays before the real refresh.
For both:
* Add dither support to Palette.
* Palette no longer converts colors when set. Instead, it caches
converted colors at each index.
* ColorConverter now caches the last converted color. It should make
conversions faster for repeated colors (not dithering.)
.. a fast helper for animations. It is similar to and inspired by the
PixelMap helper in Adafruit LED Animation library, but with an extremely
fast 'paste' method for setting a series of pixels. This is a common
operation for many animations, and can give a substantial speed improvement.
It's named `adafruit_pixelmap` so that we can package a compatible version
in pure Python for systems that can't fit it in C in flash, or for
Blinka.
This is a proof of concept and can make a very fast comet animation:
```python
import time
import adafruit_pixelbuf
import adafruti_pixelmap
import board
import neopixel
from supervisor import ticks_ms
from adafruit_led_animation.animation.solid import Solid
from adafruit_led_animation import color
pixel_pin = board.GP0
pixel_num = 96
pixels = neopixel.NeoPixel(pixel_pin, pixel_num, brightness=1, auto_write=False, pixel_order="RGB")
evens = adafruit_pixelmap.PixelMap(pixels, tuple(range(0, pixel_num, 2)))
odd_indices = tuple((i, i+2) for i in range(1, pixel_num, 4))
print(odd_indices)
odds = adafruit_pixelbuf.PixelMap(pixels, odd_indices)
assert len(odds) == len(odd_indices)
comet_length = 16
comet1 = [color.calculate_intensity(color.GREEN, ((1+i) / comet_length) ** 2.4)
for i in range(comet_length)]
comet2 = [color.calculate_intensity(color.PURPLE, ((1+i) / comet_length) ** 2.4)
for i in range(comet_length)]
pos1 = 0
pos2 = 96//4
while True:
evens.paste(comet1, pos1, wrap=True, reverse=False, others=0)
pos1 = (pos1 + 1) % len(evens)
odds.paste(comet2, pos2, wrap=True, reverse=True, others=0)
pos2 = (pos2 - 1) % len(odds)
pixels.show()
m = ticks_ms()
if m % 2000 > 1000:
time.sleep(.02)
```
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)
Originally, black_bindings found each contiguous "//|" block and sent
it to black independently. This was slower than it needed to be.
Instead, swap the comment prefix: when running black, take off
"//|" prefixes and put "##|" prefixes on all un-prefixed lines.
Then, after black is run, do the opposite operation
This more than doubles the overall speed of "pre-commit run --all",
from 3m20s to 55s CPU time on my local machine (32.5s to under 10s
"elapsed" time)
It also causes a small amount of churn in the bindings, because
black now sees enough context to know whether one 'def' follows another
or ends the 'def's in a 'class'. In the latter case, it adds an extra
newline, which becomes a "//|" line.
I'm less sure why a trailing comma was omitted before down in
rp2pio/StateMachine.c but let's roll with it.
