This started while adding USB MIDI support (and descriptor support is
in this change.) When seeing that I'd have to implement the MIDI class
logic twice, once for atmel-samd and once for nrf, I decided to refactor
the USB stack so its shared across ports. This has led to a number of
changes that remove items from the ports folder and move them into
supervisor.
Furthermore, we had external SPI flash support for nrf pending so I
factored out the connection between the usb stack and the flash API as
well. This PR also includes the QSPI support for nRF.
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.
This patch makes it so that UART(0) can by dynamically attached to and
detached from the REPL by using the uos.dupterm function. Since WebREPL
uses dupterm slot 0 the UART uses dupterm slot 1 (a slot which is newly
introduced by this patch). UART(0) must now be attached manually in
boot.py (or otherwise) and inisetup.py is changed to provide code to do
this. For example, to attach use:
import uos, machine
uart = machine.UART(0, 115200)
uos.dupterm(uart, 1)
and to detach use:
uos.dupterm(None, 1)
When attached, all incoming chars on UART(0) go straight to stdin so
uart.read() will always return None. Use sys.stdin.read() if it's needed
to read characters from the UART(0) while it's also used for the REPL (or
detach, read, then reattach). When detached the UART(0) can be used for
other purposes.
If there are no objects in any of the dupterm slots when the REPL is
started (on hard or soft reset) then UART(0) is automatically attached.
Without this, the only way to recover a board without a REPL would be to
completely erase and reflash (which would install the default boot.py which
attaches the REPL).
this renames symbols in modutime.c so that it no longer conflicts with
the time module. This commit does not enable the utime module; it
simply makes it easier for a local developer to do so.
in recent circuitpython builds, `ubinascii` is available as
`binascii`. This modifies `modules/inisetup.py` to use the same
import semantics as `modules/websocket_helper.py`: first try importing
`ubinascii`, and if that fails, fall back to importing `binascii`.
Closesadafruit/circuitpython#795
This commit replaces the literal calls to `esptool.py` with the
`$(ESPTOOL)` Makefile variable. This allows one to set the esptool
invocation on the Make command line:
make ESPTOOL="python2 $(which esptool.py)"
(or via the environment, an include file, etc)
Closes#793
Disabling this saves around 6000 bytes of code space and gets the 512k
build fitting in the available flash again (it increased lately due to an
increase in the size of the ESP8266 SDK).
