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.)
These changes result in working neopixel functionality. I've tested on
both the zero2w and the pi4b (The 4b didn't exhibit the original issue)
and the boards now behave properly with 1 to 30 pixels and the board hanging
no longer occurs.
Remove mod that didn't help during testing
Restoring back to original structure
Replace 2 microsecond delay w/deterministic loop
Remove unneded check for empty queue
Put transmit delay outside loop so Queue is used
Make sure last transmission is complete
The Broadcom chips apparently don't have an RTC, so this PR uses the
timer to add dummy RTC responses and allow resonable results
from time.localtime() as well as setting the time and date while
the board is powered.
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.
