The ST DFU bootloader supports a transfer size up to 2048 bytes, so send
that much data on each download (to device) packet. This almost halves
total download time.
Instead of passing thru more and more options from tinytest-codegen to
run-tests --list-tests, pipe output of run-tests --list-tests into
tinytest-codegen.
Gets passed to run-tests --list-tests to get actual list of tests to use.
If --target= is not given, legacy set hardcoded in tinytest-codegen itself
is used.
Also, get rid of tinytest test groups - they aren't really used for
anything, and only complicate processing. Besides, one of the next
step is to limit number of tests per a generated file to control
the binary size, which also will require "flat" list of tests.
The way tinytest was used in qemu-arm test target is that it didn't test
much. MicroPython tests are based on matching the test output against
reference output, but qemu-arm's implementation didn't do that, it
effectively tested just that there was no exception during test
execution. "upytesthelper" wrapper was introduce to fix it, and so
test generator is now switched to generate test code for it.
Also, fix PEP8 and other codestyle issues.
This patch allows the following code to run without allocating on the heap:
super().foo(...)
Before this patch such a call would allocate a super object on the heap and
then load the foo method and call it right away. The super object is only
needed to perform the lookup of the method and not needed after that. This
patch makes an optimisation to allocate the super object on the C stack and
discard it right after use.
Changes in code size due to this patch are:
bare-arm: +128
minimal: +232
unix x64: +416
unix nanbox: +364
stmhal: +184
esp8266: +340
cc3200: +128
This allows to execute a command and communicate with its stdin/stdout
via pipes ("exec") or with command-created pseudo-terminal ("execpty"),
to emulate serial access. Immediate usecase is controlling a QEMU process
which emulates board's serial via normal console, but it could be used
e.g. with helper binaries to access real board over other hadware
protocols, etc.
An example of device specification for these cases is:
--device exec:../zephyr/qemu.sh
--device execpty:../zephyr/qemu2.sh
Where qemu.sh contains long-long qemu startup line, or calls another
command. There's a special support in this patch for running the command
in a new terminal session, to support shell wrappers like that (without
new terminal session, only wrapper script would be terminated, but its
child processes would continue to run).
This patch introduces the a small framework to track differences between
uPy and CPython. The framework consists of:
- A set of "tests" which test for an individual feature that differs between
uPy and CPy. Each test is like a normal uPy test in the test suite, but
has a special comment at the start with some meta-data: a category (eg
syntax, core language), a human-readable description of the difference, a
cause, and a workaround. Following the meta-data there is a short code
snippet which demonstrates the difference. See tests/cpydiff directory
for the initial set of tests.
- A program (this patch) which runs all the tests (on uPy and CPy) and
generates nicely-formated .rst documenting the differences.
- Integration into the docs build so that everything is automatic, and the
differences appear in a way that is easy for users to read/reference (see
latter commits).
The idea with using this new framework is:
- When a new difference is found it's easy to write a short test for it,
along with a description, and add it to the existing ones. It's also easy
for contributors to submit tests for differences they find.
- When something is no longer different the tool will give an error and
difference can be removed (or promoted to a proper feature test).
Previous to this patch the qemu-arm tests were compiled with is_relp=true
meaning that the __repl_print__ function was called for all lines of code
in the outer scope. This is not the right behaviour for scripts that are
executed as though they were a file (eg tests).
With this fix the micropython/heapalloc_str.py test now works so it is
removed from the test blacklist.
With caching of map lookups in the bytecode, frozen bytecode can still
work but must be stored in RAM, not ROM. This patch allows mpy-tool.py to
generate code that works with this optimisation, but it's not recommended
to use it on embedded targets (because of lack of RAM).
Previous to this patch pyboard.py would open a new serial connection to
the target for each script that was run, and for any command that was run.
Apart from being inefficient, this meant that the board was soft-reset
between scripts/commands, which precludes scripts from accessing variables
set in a previous one.
This patch changes the behaviour of pyboard.py so that the connection to
the target is created only once, and it's not reset between scripts or any
command that is sent with the -c option.
