This commit adds micropython.heap_locked() which returns the current
lock-depth of the heap, and can be used by Python code to check if the heap
is locked or not. This new function is configured via
MICROPY_PY_MICROPYTHON_HEAP_LOCKED and is disabled by default.
This commit also changes the return value of micropython.heap_unlock() so
it returns the current lock-depth as well.
This commit changes the BLE _IRQ_SCAN_RESULT data from:
addr_type, addr, connectable, rssi, adv_data
to:
addr_type, addr, adv_type, rssi, adv_data
This allows _IRQ_SCAN_RESULT to handle all scan result types (not just
connectable and non-connectable passive scans), and to distinguish between
them using adv_type which is an integer taking values 0x00-0x04 per the BT
specification.
This is a breaking change to the API, albeit a very minor one: the existing
connectable value was a boolean and True now becomes 0x00, False becomes
0x02.
Documentation is updated and a test added.
Fixes#5738.
The default value for MICROPYPATH used in unix/main.c is
"~/.micropython/lib:/usr/lib/micropython" which has 2 problems when used in
the Windows port:
- it has a ':' as path separator but the port uses ';' so the entire string
is effectively discarded since it gets interpreted as a single path which
doesn't exist
- /usr/lib/micropython is not a valid path in a standard Windows
environment
Override the value with a suitable default.
This fix can be demonstrated by the following:
b = bytearray(32)
f = framebuf.FrameBuffer(b, 32, 8, framebuf.MONO_HLSB)
f.pixel(0, 0, 1)
print('MONO_HLSB', hex(b[0]))
b = bytearray(32)
f = framebuf.FrameBuffer(b, 32, 8, framebuf.MONO_HMSB)
f.pixel(0, 0, 1)
print('MONO_HMSB', hex(b[0]))
Outcome:
MONO_HLSB 0x80
MONO_HMSB 0x1
This adds a -h option to print the usage help text and adds a new, shorter
error message that is printed when invalid arguments are given. This
behaviour follows CPython (and other tools) more closely.
Show how to send an HTTP response code and content-type. Without the
response code Safari/iOS will fail. Without the content-type Lynx/Links
will fail.
This adds a short paragraph on how to hook readthedocs.org up. The main
goal is to make people aware of the option, to help with contributing to
the documentation.
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 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.
defindex.html (used by topindex.html) is deprecated, but topindex.html was
already identical other than setting the title, so just inherit directly
from layout.html.
Behaviour was changed from stack to queue in
8977c7eb58, and this updates variable names
to match. Also updates other references (docs, error messages).
This allows to efficiently send to an I2C slave data that is made up of
more than one buffer. Instead of needing to allocate temporary memory to
combine buffers together this new method allows to pass in a tuple or list
of buffers. The name is based on the POSIX function writev() which has
similar intentions and signature.
The reasons for taking this approach (compared to having an interface with
separate start/write/stop methods) are:
- It's a backwards compatible extension.
- It's convenient for the user.
- It's efficient because there is only one Python call, then the C code can
do everything in one go.
- It's efficient on the I2C bus because the implementation can do
everything in one go without pauses between blocks of bytes.
- It should be possible to implement this extension in all ports, for
hardware and software I2C.
Further discussion is found in issue #3482, PR #4020 and PR #4763.
It's more common to need non-blocking behaviour when reading from a UART,
rather than having a large timeout like 1000ms (the original behaviour).
With a large timeout it's 1) likely that the function will read forever if
characters keep trickling it; or 2) the function will unnecessarily wait
when characters come sporadically, eg at a REPL prompt.
This system makes it a lot easier to include external libraries as static,
native modules in MicroPython. Simply pass USER_C_MODULES (like
FROZEN_MPY_DIR) as a make parameter.
This is only correct for the extmod/uos_dupterm.c implementation however,
as e.g cc3200 implementation does the mp_load_method() itself, and anyway
requires `read` instead of `readinto`.
Replaces "PYB: soft reboot" with "MPY: soft reboot", etc.
Having a consistent prefix across ports reduces the difference between
ports, which is a general goal. And this change won't break pyboard.py
because that tool only looks for "soft reboot".
The machine.sleep() function can be misleading because it clashes with
time.sleep() which has quite different semantics. So change it to
machine.lightsleep() which shows that it is closer in behaviour to
machine.deepsleep().
Also, add an optional argument to these two sleep functions to specify a
maximum time to sleep for. This is a common operation and underlying
hardware usually has a special way of performing this operation.
The existing machine.sleep() function will remain for backwards
compatibility purposes, and it can simply be an alias for
machine.lightsleep() without arguments. The behaviour will be the same.
Examples are added to the beginning of the module docs, similarly to docs
for many other modules.
Improvements to grammar, style, and clarity. Some paragraphs are updated
with better suggestions. A warning added of the effect incorrect usage of
the module may have. Describe the fact that offset range used in one
defined structure is limited.
Otherwise there is really nothing that can be done, it can't be unlocked by
the user because there is no way to allocate memory to execute the unlock.
See issue #4205 and #4209.
With this commit there is now only one entry point into the whole
documentation, which describes the general MicroPython language, and then
from there there are links to information about specific platforms/ports.
This commit doesn't change content (almost, it does fix a few internal
links), it just reorganises things.
All concrete network classes are now moved to their own file (eg
network.WLAN.rst) and deconditionalised (remove ..only:: directives). This
makes the network documentation the same for all ports. After this change
there are no more "..only::" directives for different ports, and the only
difference among ports is the very front page of the docs.
The WiPy machine.Timer class is very different to the esp8266 and esp32
implementations which are better candidates for a general Timer class. By
moving the WiPy Timer docs to a completely separate file, under a new name
machine.TimerWiPy, it gives a clean slate to define and write the docs for
a better, general machine.Timer class. This is with the aim of eventually
providing documentation that does not have conditional parts to it,
conditional on the port.
While the new docs are being defined it makes sense to keep the WiPy docs,
since they describe its behaviour. Once the new Timer behaviour is defined
the WiPy code can be changed to match it, and then the TimerWiPy docs would
be removed.
The machine module should be standard across all ports so should have the
same set of classes in the docs. A special warning is added to the top of
the machine.SD class because it is not standardised and only available on
the cc3200 port.
It's fair to just provide a link to all available modules, regardless of
the port. Most of the existing ports (unix, stm32, esp8266, esp32) share
most of the same set of modules anyway, so no need to maintain separate
lists for them. And there's a big discussion at the start of this index
about modules not being available on a given port.
For port-specific modules, they can also be listed unconditionally because
they have headings that explicitly state they are only available on certain
ports.
The UART.init() method is now included unconditionally and its wording
adjusted to better describe ports other than the cc3200.
UART.irq() is also included unconditionally, but this is currently only
available on the WiPy target.
By virtue of its name, the pyb module would only be available on a pyboard
and so does not need to have conditional "only" directives throughout its
documentation.
These conditionals were added mostly in
cfcf47c064 in the initial development of the
cc3200 port, which had the pyb module before it switched to the machine
module. And wipy only conditionals were removed from the pyb module
documentation in 4542643025, so there's no
need to retain any more conditionals.
Allow including crypto consts based on compilation settings. Disabled by
default to reduce code size; if one wants extra code readability, can
enable them.
These can be optionally specified, but all ports are expected to be able to
accept them, at the very least ignore, though handling of "type" param
(SOCK_STREAM vs SOCK_DGRAM) is recommended.
This can be used to select the output buffer behaviour of the DAC. The
default values are chosen to retain backwards compatibility with existing
behaviour.
Thanks to @peterhinch for the initial idea to add this feature.
The parameter order in the example for ticks_diff was incorrect. If it's
"too early" that means that scheduled time is greater than current time and
if it's "running late" then scheduled time would be less than current time.
Put offset first in OR expressions, and use "offset" var instead of
hardcoded numbers. Hopefully, this will make it more self-describing
and show patterns better.
