We now track the last time the background task ran and bail on the
PulseIn if it starves the background work. In practice, this
happens after the numbers from pulsein are no longer accurate.
This also adjusts interrupt priorities so most are the lowest level
except for the tick and USB interrupts.
Fixes#516 and #876
The DFU USB config descriptor returns 0x0800=2048 for the supported
transfer size, and this applies to both TX (IN) and RX (OUT). So increase
the rx_buf to support this size without having a buffer overflow on
received data.
With this patch mboot in USB DFU mode now works with dfu-util.
Currently <WLAN>.isconnected() always returns True if a static IP is set,
regardless of the state of the connection.
This patch introduces a new flag 'wifi_sta_connected' which is set in
event_handler() when GOT_IP event is received and reset when DISCONNECTED
event is received (unless re-connect is successful). isconnected() now
simply returns the status of this flag (for STA_IF).
The pre-existing flag misleadingly named 'wifi_sta_connected" is also
renamed to 'wifi_sta_connect_requested'.
Fixes issue #3837
MICROPY_PY_DELATTR_SETATTR can now be enabled without a performance hit for
classes that don't use this feature.
MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_NOTIMPLEMENTED is a minor addition that improves
compatibility with CPython.
They are now efficient (in runtime performance) and provide a useful
feature that's hard to obtain without them enabled.
See issue #3644 and PR #3826 for background.
Now that the coverage build has fully switched to the VFS sub-system these
functions were no longer available, so add them to the uos_vfs module.
Also, vfs_open is no longer needed, it's available as the built-in open.
The unix coverage build is now switched fully to the VFS implementation, ie
the uos module is the uos_vfs module. For example, one can now sandbox uPy
to their home directory via:
$ ./micropython_coverage
>>> import uos
>>> uos.umount('/') # unmount existing root VFS
>>> vfs = uos.VfsPosix('/home/user') # create new POSIX VFS
>>> uos.mount(vfs, '/') # mount new POSIX VFS at root
Some filesystem/OS features may no longer work with the coverage build due
to this change, and these need to be gradually fixed.
The standard unix port remains unchanged, it still uses the traditional uos
module which directly accesses the underlying host filesystem.
This patch adds support for building the firmware with external SPI RAM
enabled. It is disabled by default because it adds overhead (due to
silicon workarounds) and reduces performance (because it's slower to have
bytecode and objects stored in external RAM).
To enable it, either use "make CONFIG_SPIRAM_SUPPORT=1", or add this line
to you custom makefile/GNUmakefile (before "include Makefile"):
CONFIG_SPIRAM_SUPPORT = 1
When this option is enabled the MicroPython heap is automatically allocated
in external SPI RAM.
Thanks to Angus Gratton for help with the compiler and linker settings.
