The size of the event ringbuf was previously fixed to compile-time config
value, but it's necessary to sometimes increase this for applications that
have large characteristic buffers to read, or many events at once.
With this commit the size can be set via BLE.config(rxbuf=512), for
example. This also resizes the internal event data buffer which sets the
maximum size of incoming data passed to the event handler.
This allows the user to explicitly select the behaviour of the write to the
remote peripheral. This is needed for peripherals that have
characteristics with WRITE_NO_RESPONSE set (instead of normal WRITE). The
function's signature is now:
BLE.gattc_write(conn_handle, value_handle, data, mode=0)
mode=0 means write without response, while mode=1 means write with
response. The latter was the original behaviour so this commit is a change
in behaviour of this method, and one should specify 1 as the 4th argument
to get back the old behaviour.
In the future there could be more modes supported, such as long writes.
The default protection for the BLE ringbuf is to use
MICROPY_BEGIN_ATOMIC_SECTION, which disables all interrupts. On stm32 it
only needs to disable the lowest priority IRQ, pendsv, because that's the
IRQ level at which the BLE stack is driven.
This removes the limit on data coming in from a BLE.gattc_read() request,
or a notify with payload (coming in to a central). In both cases the data
coming in to the BLE callback is now limited only by the available data in
the ringbuf, whereas before it was capped at (default hard coded) 20 bytes.
Instead of enqueue_irq() inspecting the ringbuf to decide whether to
schedule the IRQ callback (if ringbuf is empty), maintain a flag that knows
if the callback is on the schedule queue or not. This saves about 150
bytes of code (for stm32 builds), and simplifies all uses of enqueue_irq()
and schedule_ringbuf().
qstrs in this file are always included in all builds, even if not used
anywhere. So remove those that are never needed, and make USB names
conditional on having USB enabled.
With the memcpy() call placed last it avoids the effects of registers
clobbering. It's definitely effective in non-inlined functions, but even
here it is still making a small difference. For example, on stm32, this
saves an extra `ldr` instruction to load `o->vstr` after the memcpy()
returns.
The string length being longer than the allowed qstr length can happen in
many locations, for example in the parser with very long variable names.
Without an explicit check that the length is within range (as done in this
patch) the code would exhibit crashes and strange behaviour with truncated
strings.
And return -MP_EIO if calling storage_read_block/storage_write_block fails.
This lines up with the return type and value (negative for error) of the
calls to MICROPY_HW_BDEV_READBLOCKS (and WRITEBLOCKS, and BDEV2 versions).
The pyb.Flash() class can now be used to construct objects which reference
sections of the flash storage, starting at a certain offset and going for a
certain length. Such objects also support the extended block protocol.
The signature for the constructor is: pyb.Flash(start=-1, len=-1).
This commit refactors and generalises the boot-mount routine on stm32 so
that it can mount filesystems of arbitrary type. That is, it no longer
assumes that the filesystem is FAT. It does this by using mp_vfs_mount()
which does auto-detection of the filesystem type.
The address, adv payload and uuid fields of the event are pre-allocated by
modbluetooth, and reused in the IRQ handler. Simplify this and move all
storage into the `mp_obj_bluetooth_ble_t` instance.
This now allows users to hold on to a reference to these instances without
crashes, although they may be overwritten by future events. If they want
to hold onto the values longer term they need to copy them.
Using mp_hal_delay_ms allows the scheduler to run, which might result in
another transmit operation happening, which would bypass the sleep (and
fail). Use mp_hal_delay_us instead.
The compile-time configuration value MICROPY_HW_RTC_USER_MEM_MAX can now be
used to define the amount of memory set aside for RTC.memory(). If this
value is configured to zero then the RTC.memory functionality is not
included in the build.
Remove existing scan result events from the ringbuf if the ringbuf is full
and we're trying to enqueue any other event. This is needed so that events
such as SCAN_COMPLETE are always put on the ringbuf.
