It differs from upstream's machine in the following ways:
* Python API is identical across ports due to code structure. (Lives in shared-bindings)
* Focuses on abstracting common functionality (AnalogIn) and not representing structure (ADC).
* Documentation lives with code making it easy to ensure they match.
* Pin is split into references (board.D13 and microcontroller.pin.PA17) and functionality (DigitalInOut).
* All nativeio classes claim underlying hardware resources when inited on construction, support Context Managers (aka with statements) and have deinit methods which release the claimed hardware.
* All constructors take pin references rather than peripheral ids. Its up to the implementation to find hardware or throw and exception.
The tick timer needed to be reworked because the ASF delay functions also
use the SysTick timer. Now, it uses TC5 and calls out to the autoreset
logic every tick. Fixes#43.
Added neopixel status colors and corrected the latch time from ms to us.
Fixes#42.
It will soft-reboot micropython after a burst of writes to the
file system. This means that after you save files on your computer
they will be automatically rerun.
This can be disabled in the build by unsetting AUTORESET_TIMER in
mpconfigboard.h.
Using the REPL will also prevent the soft resets until you reset
with CTRL-D manually.
This commit also introduces a new shared-bindings directory which is used to store the common Python -> C binding code. By having a shared directory we can ensure that the Python API across ports is the same. Each port will have a corresponding common-hal directory which provides definitions for the C api used in the shared-bindings code. That way the compiler can enforce the C api.
To migrate to this new shared API create a common-hal directory within your port and change the Makefile to compile both the shared-bindings and common-hal files. See atmel-samd/Makefile SRC_BINDINGS for an example.
All of the code was there except the linker was failing to clear the bss section because I added too many .zeros. The should have only been the exported globals that start with _ like _szero = .. Fixing that and turn on the usb transmit fixed everything.
Everything works fine without USB being plugged in but faults (I think) when USB is plugged in. This is switched away from the USB code from the bootloader onto the USB code thats generated by Atmel Studio using the high level classes from ASF.
