The RT1176 has two cores, but the actual firmware supports only the CM7.
There are currently no good plans on how to use the CM4.
The actual MIMXRT1170_EVK board is on par with the existing MIMXRT boards,
with the following extensions:
- Use 64 MB RAM for the heap.
- Support both LAN interfaces as LAN(0) and LAN(1), with LAN(1)
being the 1GB interface.
The dual LAN port interface can eventually be adapted as well for the
RT1062 MCU.
This work was done in collaboration with @alphaFred.
Previously the desired output type was specified. Now make the type part
of the function name. Because this function is used in a few places this
saves code size due to smaller call-site.
This makes `mp_obj_new_str_type_from_vstr` a private function of objstr.c
(which is almost the only place where the output type isn't a compile-time
constant).
This saves ~140 bytes on PYBV11.

This commit implements 10/100 Mbit Ethernet support in the mimxrt port.
The following boards are configured without ETH network:
- MIMXRT1010_EVK
- Teensy 4.0
The following boards are configured with ETH network:
- MIMXRT1020_EVK
- MIMXRT1050_EVK
- MIMXRT1060_EVK
- MIMXRT1064_EVK
- Teensy 4.1
Ethernet support tested with TEENSY 4.1, MIMRTX1020_EVK and MIMXRT1050_EVK.
Build tested with Teensy 4.0 and MIMXRT1010_EVK to be still working.
Compiles and builds properly for MIMXRT1060_EVK and MIMXRT1064_EVK, but not
tested lacking suitable boards.
Tested functions are:
- ping works bothway
- simple UDP transfer works bothway
- ntptime works
- the ftp server works
- secure socker works
- telnet and webrepl works
The MAC address is 0x02 plus 5 bytes from the manifacturing info field,
which can be considered as unique per device.
Some boards do not wire the RESET and INT pin of the PHY transceiver. For
operation, these are not required. If they are defined, they will be used.
- Configures `PLL2->PFD0` with **198MHz** as base clock of
`USDHCx` peripheral.
- Adds guards for SDCard related files via `MICROPY_PY_MACHINE_SDCARD`
- Adds creation of pin defines for SDCard to make-pins.py
- Adds new configuration option for SDCard peripheral pinout
to mpconfigport.h
- Adds interrupt handling support instead of polling
- Adds support for `ADMA2` powered data transfer
- Configures SDCard to run in HS (high-speed mode) with **50MHz** only!
SDCard support is optional and requires `USDHC` peripheral.
Thus this driver is not available on `MIMXRT1010_EVK`.
SDCard support is enabled by setting `MICROPY_PY_MACHINE_SDCARD = 1`
in mpconfigboard.mk.

This commit adds full support for a filesystem on all boards, with a block
device object mimxrt.Flash() and uos.VfsLfs2 enabled.
Main changes are:
- Refactoring of linker scripts to accomodate reserved area for VFS. VFS
will take up most of the available flash. 1M is reserved for code. 9K is
reserved for flash configuration, interrupts, etc.
- Addition of _boot.py with filesystem init code, called from main.c.
- Definition of the mimxrt module with a Flash class in modmimxrt.[ch].
- Implementation of a flash driver class in mimxrt_flash.c. All flashing
related functions are stored in ITCM RAM.
- Addition of the uos module with filesystem functions.
- Implementation of uos.urandom() for the sake of completeness of the uos
module.
It uses sample code from CircuitPython supplied under MIT license, which
uses the NXP SDK example code.
Done in collaboration with Philipp Ebensberger aka @alphaFred who
contributed the essential part to enable writing to flash while code is
executing, among other things.
