Main reason for expanding buffer protocol API was to support writes to a
buffer in ADC module (see read_timed). With this change you can now
create an array of arbitrary type and ADC.read_timed will store into
that array in the correct format (byte, int, float). I wonder though if
all these changes were really worth it to support just this function.
Hopefully this enhanced buffer protocol API (with typecode specified)
will be used elsewhere.
This is an attempt to clean up the Micro Python API on the pyboard.
Gpio functionality is now in the Pin object, which seems more natural.
Constants for MODE and PULL are now in pyb.Pin. Names of some
classes have been adjusted to conform to CamelCase. Other
miscellaneous changes and clean up here and there.
On stmhal, computed gotos make the binary about 1k bigger, but makes it
run faster, and we have the room, so why not. All tests pass on
pyboard using computed gotos.
Internal flash used for the filesystem is now written (from the cache)
only after a 5s delay, or when a file is closed, or when the drive is
unmounted from the host. This delay means that multiple writes can
accumulate in the cache, and leads to less writes to the flash, making
it last longer.
It's implemented by a high-priority interrupt that takes care of flash
erase and write, and flushing the cache.
This is still only an interim solution for the flash filesystem. It
eventually needs to be replaced with something that uses less RAM for
the cache, something that can use more of the flash, and something that
does proper wear levelling.
The autogenerated header files have been moved about, and an extra
include dir has been added, which means you can give a custom
BUILD=newbuilddir option to make, and everything "just works"
Also tidied up the way the different Makefiles build their include-
directory flags
Need to wait for the low-level USB driver to send the data over the USB
in-endpoint before the buffer can be used again. This patch adds a
check for this.
The USB VID&PID are automatically extracted from usbd_desc_cdc_msc.c
and inserted into pybcdc_inf.template, ensuring that the same USB
IDs get used everywhere
Mac OS X sends a SCSI command to remove the medium when it unmounts a
drive. If this command is not honoured, then OS X will automatically
remount the drive, making it impossible to eject. This patch disables
the USB MSC when the right SCSI command is sent.
Reads ADC values into a bytearray (or similar) at a fixed rate. Needs a
better name and improved API. Also fix up DAC dma function (which also
needs a better name and API).
Also contains raw memory read/write functions, read8, read16, read32,
write8, write16, write32. Can now do:
stm.write16(stm.GPIOA + stm.GPIO_BSRRL, 1 << 13)
This turns on the red LED.
With the new constant folding, the above constants for the GPIO address
are actually compiled to constants (and the addition done) at compile
time. For viper code and inline assembler, this optimisation will make
a big difference. In the inline assembler, using these constants would
not be possible without this constant folding.
Full CPython compatibility with this requires actually parsing the
input so far collected, and if it fails parsing due to lack of tokens,
then continue collecting input. It's not worth doing it this way. Not
having compatibility at this level does not hurt the goals of Micro
Python.
This is to reduce ROM usage. stream_p is used in file and socket types
only (at the moment), so seems a good idea to make the protocol
functions a pointer instead of the actual structure.
It saves 308 bytes of ROM in the stmhal/ port, 928 in unix/.
Finishes addressing issue #424.
In the end this was a very neat refactor that now makes things a lot
more consistent across the py code base. It allowed some
simplifications in certain places, now that everything is a dict object.
Also converted builtins tables to dictionaries. This will be useful
when we need to turn builtins into a proper module.
This adds support for almost everything (the comma isn't currently
supported).
The "unspecified" type with floats also doesn't behave exactly like
python.
Tested under unix with float and double
Spot tested on stmhal
Pretty much everyone needs to include map.h, since it's such an integral
part of the Micro Python object implementation. Thus, the definitions
are now in obj.h instead. map.h is removed.
Mostly just a global search and replace. Except rt_is_true which
becomes mp_obj_is_true.
Still would like to tidy up some of the names, but this will do for now.
All board config macros now begin with MICROPY_HW_.
Renamed PYBv10 to PYBV10, since macros should be all uppercase.
Made SDCARD_DETECT configurable in mpconfigport.h, so that the SD
detect pin can be easily configured.
Can now choose at boot up whether the USB device is CDC+MSC or CDC+HID.
Choice is made by an option in boot.py, with default being CDC+MSC.
HID+MSC is not currently supported, but should be easy to implement.
Boot up now has ability to change the reset mode: hold down USR switch
while booting and LEDs will count from 1 to 7 to indicate the boot mode.
Release USR when correct mode is selected. Current modes are 1 (normal
boot), 2 (safe mode), 3 (reset FS mode).
Originally, .methods was used for methods in a ROM class, and
locals_dict for methods in a user-created class. That distinction is
unnecessary, and we can use locals_dict for ROM classes now that we have
ROMable maps.
This removes an entry in the bloated mp_obj_type_t struct, saving a word
for each ROM object and each RAM object. ROM objects that have a
methods table (now a locals_dict) need an extra word in total (removed
the methods pointer (1 word), no longer need the sentinel (2 words), but
now need an mp_obj_dict_t wrapper (4 words)). But RAM objects save a
word because they never used the methods entry.
Overall the ROM usage is down by a few hundred bytes, and RAM usage is
down 1 word per user-defined type/class.
There is less code (no need to check 2 tables), and now consistent with
the way ROM modules have their tables initialised.
Efficiency is very close to equivaluent.
Added support for the ADC channels and mappings to make_pins.py
I'm not sure if the hal properly deals with the channel 16/18 differences
between the 40x and 42x. It seems to deal with it partially. This particular
aspect will need testing on a 42x or 43x.
Late USB enumeration could clear settings after they had been set.
Now fixed by not clearing some settings on init.
RX was blocking if received characters were not being processed, so
CTRL-C would not be picked up. Now "fixed" by not blocking, but
instead discarding incoming characters if they overflow the buffer.
New USB HAL is quite a bit improved over previous one. Now has better
callbacks and flow control.
REPL over USB CDC now works as before, except for soft-reset (since USB
driver uses malloc...).
