This is to make the builds for all nucleo/discovery boards uniform, so they
can be treated the same by the auto build scripts.
The CI script is updated to explicitly enable mboot and packing, to test
these features.

This will be used by https://micropython.org/download/ to generate the
full listing of boards and firmware files.
Optionally supports a board.md for additional customisation of the
download page, as well as deploy.md for flashing instructions.

This can now be selected by setting MICROPY_HW_SDCARD_SDMMC, which defaults
to 1, ie SDMMC1. This commit also renames the SD pin configuration macros
from MICROPY_HW_SDMMC2_xxx to MICROPY_HW_SDCARD_xxx, as well as renaming
MICROPY_HW_SDMMC_BUS_WIDTH to MICROPY_HW_SDCARD_BUS_WIDTH.

Support for C++ was added in 97960dc7de but
that commit didn't include the C++ exception handling table in the binary
firmware image. This commit fixes that.

This only needs to be enabled if a board uses FAT FS on external SPI flash.
When disabled (and using external SPI flash) 4k of RAM can be saved.

This board now has the following 3 build configurations:
- mboot + external QSPI in XIP mode + internal filesystem
- mboot + external QSPI with filesystem (the default)
- no mboot + external QSPI with filesystem
According to the schematic, the SDRAM part on this board is a
MT48LC4M32B2B5-6A, with "Row addressing 4K A[11:0]" (per datasheet). This
commit updates mpconfigboard.h from 13 to 12 to match.
Entering a bootloader (ST system bootloader, or custom mboot) from software
by directly branching to it is not reliable, and the reliability of it
working can depend on the peripherals that were enabled by the application
code. It's also not possible to branch to a bootloader if the WDT is
enabled (unless the bootloader has specific provisions to feed the WDT).
This patch changes the way a bootloader is entered from software by first
doing a complete system reset, then branching to the desired bootloader
early on in the start-up process. The top two words of RAM (of the stack)
are reserved to store flags indicating that the bootloader should be
entered after a reset.
Previously the end of the heap was the start (lowest address) of the stack.
With the changes in this commit these addresses are now independent,
allowing a board to place the heap and stack in separate locations.
This demonstrates how to use external QSPI flash in XIP (execute in place)
mode. The default configuration has all extmod/ code placed into external
QSPI flash, but other code can easily be put there by modifying the custom
f769_qspi.ld script.
This is a good board to demonstrate the use of Mboot because it only has a
USB HS port exposed so the native ST DFU mode cannot be used. With Mboot
this port can be used.
The macros are MICROPY_HEAP_START and MICROPY_HEAP_END, and if not defined
by a board then the default values will be used (maximum heap from SRAM as
defined by linker symbols).
As part of this commit the SDRAM initialisation is moved to much earlier in
main() to potentially make it available to other peripherals and avoid
re-initialisation on soft-reboot. On boards with SDRAM enabled the heap
has been set to use that.
This patch allows a given board to configure which pins are used for the
CAN peripherals, in a similar way to all the other bus peripherals (I2C,
UART, SPI). To enable CAN on a board the mpconfigboard.h file should
define (for example):
#define MICROPY_HW_CAN1_TX (pin_B9)
#define MICROPY_HW_CAN1_RX (pin_B8)
#define MICROPY_HW_CAN2_TX (pin_B13)
#define MICROPY_HW_CAN2_RX (pin_B12)
And the board config file should no longer define MICROPY_HW_ENABLE_CAN.
This patch forces a board to explicitly define TEXT1_ADDR in order to
split the firmware into two separate pieces. Otherwise the default is now
to produce only a single continuous firmware image with all ISR, text and
data together.
This patch allows a particular board to independently specify the linker
scripts for 1) the MCU memory layout; 2) how the different firmware
sections are arranged in memory. Right now all boards follow the same
layout with two separate firmware section, one for the ISR and one for the
text and data. This leaves room for storage (filesystem data) to live
between the firmware sections.
The idea with this patch is to accommodate boards that don't have internal
flash storage and only need to have one continuous firmware section. Thus
the common.ld script is renamed to common_ifs.ld to make explicit that it
is used for cases where the board has internal flash storage.
mpconfigboard_common.h now sets the defaults so there is no longer a need
to explicitly list all configuration options in a board's mpconfigboard.h
file.
This is to keep the top-level directory clean, to make it clear what is
core and what is a port, and to allow the repository to grow with new ports
in a sustainable way.
