This commit adds time.ticks_ms/us support using RTC1 as the timebase. It
also adds the time.ticks_add/diff helper functions. This feature can be
enabled using MICROPY_PY_TIME_TICKS. If disabled the system uses the
legacy sleep methods and does not have any ticks functions.
In addition support for MICROPY_EVENT_POLL_HOOK was added to the
time.sleep_ms(x) function, making this function more power efficient and
allows support for select.poll/asyncio. To support this, the RTC's CCR0
was used to schedule a ~1msec event to wakeup the CPU.
Some important notes about the RTC timebase:
- Since the granularity of RTC1's ticks are approx 30usec, time.ticks_us is
not perfect, does not have 1us resolution, but is otherwise quite usable.
For tighter measurments the ticker's 1MHz counter should be used.
- time.ticks_ms(x) should *not* be called in an IRQ with higher prio than
the RTC overflow irq (3). If so it introduces a race condition and
possibly leads to wrong tick calculations.
See #6171 and #6202.
When compiling for debug (-O0) the .text segment cannot fit the flash
region when MICROPY_ROM_TEXT_COMPRESSION=1, because the compiler does not
optimise away the large if-else chain used to select the correct compressed
string.
This commit enforces MICROPY_ROM_TEXT_COMPRESSION=0 when compiling for
debug (DEBUG=1).
The storage space of the advertisement name is not declared static, leading
to a random advertisement name. This commit fixes the issue by declaring
it static.
The Bluetooth link gets disconnected when connecting from a PC after 30-40
seconds. This commit adds handling of the data length update request. The
data length parameter pointer is set to NULL in the reply, letting the
SoftDevice automatically set values and use them in the data length update
procedure.
mp_keyboard_interrupt() triggers a compiler error because the function is
implicitly declared. This commit adds "py/runtime.h" to the includes.
Fixes issue #5732.
Changes are:
- The default manifest.py is moved to the variants directory (it's in
"boards" in other ports).
- The coverage variant now uses a custom manifest in its variant directory
to add frzmpy/frzstr.
- The frzmpy/frzstr tests are moved to variants/coverage/.
Polling mode will cause failures with the mass-erase command due to USB
timeouts, because the USB IRQs are not being serviced. Swiching from
polling to IRQ mode fixes this because the USB IRQs can be serviced between
page erases.
Note that when the flash is being programmed or erased the MCU is halted
and cannot respond to USB IRQs, because mboot runs from flash, as opposed
to the built-in bootloader which is in system ROM. But the maximum delay
in responding to an IRQ is the time taken to erase a single page, about
100ms for large pages, and that is short enough that the USB does not
timeout on the host side.
Recent tests have shown that in the current mboot code IRQ mode is pretty
much the same speed as polling mode (within timing error), code size is
slightly reduced in IRQ mode, and IRQ mode idles at about half of the power
consumption as polling mode.
This is treated more like a "delay before continuing" in the spec and
official tools and does not appear to be really needed. In particular,
downloading firmware is much slower with non-zero timeouts because the host
must pause by the timeout between sending each DFU_GETSTATUS to poll for
download/erase complete.
Supports hard and soft interrupts. In the current implementation, soft
interrupt callbacks will only be called when the VM is executing, ie they
will not be called during a blocking kernel call like k_msleep. And the
behaviour of hard interrupt callbacks will depend on the underlying device,
as well as the amount of ISR stack space.
Soft and hard interrupts tested on frdm_k64f and nucleo_f767zi boards.

The implementation internally uses sector erase to wipe everything except
the sector(s) that mboot lives in (by erasing starting from
APPLICATION_ADDR).
The erase command can take some time (eg an STM32F765 with 2MB of flash
takes 8 to 10 seconds). This time is normally enough to make pydfu.py fail
with a timeout. The DFU standard includes a mechanism for the DFU device
to request a longer timeout as part of the get-status response just before
starting an operation. This timeout functionality has been implemented
here.
Before this commit the USB VCP TX ring-buffer used the basic implementation
where it can only be filled to a maximum of buffer size-1. For a 1024 size
buffer this means the largest packet that can be sent is 1023. Once a
packet of this size is sent the next byte copied in goes to the final byte
in the buffer, so must be sent as a 1 byte packet before the read pointer
can be wrapped around to the beginning. So in large streaming transfers,
watching the USB sniffer you basically get alternating 1023 byte packets
then 1 byte packets.
This commit changes the ring-buffer implementation to a scheme that doesn't
have the full-size limitation, and the USB VCP driver can now achieve a
constant stream of full-sized packets. This scheme introduces a
restriction on the size of the buffer: it must be a power of 2, and the
maximum size is half of the size of the index (in this case the index is
16-bit, so the maximum size would be 32767 bytes rounded to 16384 for a
power-of-2). But this is not a big limitation because the size of the
ring-buffer prior to this commit was restricted to powers of 2 because it
was using a mask-based method to wrap the indices.
For an explanation of the new scheme see
https://www.snellman.net/blog/archive/2016-12-13-ring-buffers/
The RX buffer could likely do with a similar change, though as it's not
read from in chunks like the TX buffer it doesn't present the same issue,
all that's lost is one byte capacity of the buffer.
USB VCP TX throughput is improved by this change, potentially doubling the
speed in certain cases.
By passing through the I2C instance to the application callbacks, the
application can implement multiple I2C slave devices on different
peripherals (eg I2C1 and I2C2).
This commit also adds a proper rw argument to i2c_slave_process_addr_match
for F7/H7/WB MCUs, and enables the i2c_slave_process_tx_end callback.
Mboot is also updated for these changes.

Mboot now supports FAT, LFS1 and LFS2 filesystems, to load firmware from.
The filesystem needed by the board must be explicitly enabled by the
configuration variables MBOOT_VFS_FAT, MBOOT_VFS_LFS1 and MBOOT_VFS_LFS2.
Boards that previously used FAT implicitly (with MBOOT_FSLOAD enabled) must
now add the following config to mpconfigboard.h:
#define MBOOT_VFS_FAT (1)

This commit factors the code for files and streaming to separate source
files (vfs_fat.c and gzstream.c respectively) and introduces an abstract
gzstream interface to make it easier to plug in different filesystems.

There's no need to do a directory listing to search for the given firmware
filename, it just takes extra time and code size. Instead this commit
changes it so that the requested firmware file is opened immediately and
will abort if the file couldn't be opened. This also allows to specify
files in a directory.

Commit 8675858465 switched to using the CMSIS
provided SystemInit function which sets VTOR to 0x00000000 (previously it
was 0x08000000). A VTOR of 0x00000000 will be correct on some MCUs but not
on others where the built-in bootloader is remapped to this address, via
__HAL_SYSCFG_REMAPMEMORY_SYSTEMFLASH().
To make sure mboot has the correct vector table, this commit explicitly
sets VTOR to the correct value of 0x08000000.

There's no need to duplicate this functionality in mboot, the code provided
in stm32lib/CMSIS does the same thing and makes it easier to support other
MCU series.

The flash functions in ports/stm32/flash.c are almost identical to those in
ports/stm32/mboot/main.c, so remove the duplicated code in mboot and use
instead the main stm32 code. This also allows supporting other MCU series.

This commit makes the low-level flash C functions usable by code other than
flashbdev.c (eg by mboot). Changes in this commit are:
- flash_erase() and flash_write() now return an errno error code, a
negative value on error.
- flash_erase() now automatically locks the flash, as well as unlocking it.
- flash_write() now automatically unlocks the flash, as well as locking it.
- flashbdev.c is modified for the above changes.

All Python binding definitions are moved to modmachine.h, with some

pyb_wfi) is moved to modmachine.c.
The cc3200 and teensy ports are updated to build with these changes.

Otherwise the RMT will repeat pulses when using loop(True). This repeating
is due to a bug in the IDF which will be fixed in an upcoming release, but
for now the accepted workaround is to swap these calls, which should still
work in the fixed version of the IDF.
Fixes issue #6167.
