Hyperflash is used by the MIMXRT1050_EVKB, MIMXRT1060_EVK and
MIMXRT1064_EVK boards.
This commit includes:
- add support for Hyperflash
- modify MIMXRT1060_EVK and MIMXRT1064_EVK to change from QSPI to
hyperflash.
- minor incidental changes to other boards so they still build
Note: Erasing a sector on the hyperflash is slow. It takes about a second,
which seems too long, but matches the data sheet.
This commit adds full support for a filesystem on all boards, with a block
device object mimxrt.Flash() and uos.VfsLfs2 enabled.
Main changes are:
- Refactoring of linker scripts to accomodate reserved area for VFS. VFS
will take up most of the available flash. 1M is reserved for code. 9K is
reserved for flash configuration, interrupts, etc.
- Addition of _boot.py with filesystem init code, called from main.c.
- Definition of the mimxrt module with a Flash class in modmimxrt.[ch].
- Implementation of a flash driver class in mimxrt_flash.c. All flashing
related functions are stored in ITCM RAM.
- Addition of the uos module with filesystem functions.
- Implementation of uos.urandom() for the sake of completeness of the uos
module.
It uses sample code from CircuitPython supplied under MIT license, which
uses the NXP SDK example code.
Done in collaboration with Philipp Ebensberger aka @alphaFred who
contributed the essential part to enable writing to flash while code is
executing, among other things.
