The ST DFU bootloader supports a transfer size up to 2048 bytes, so send
that much data on each download (to device) packet. This almost halves
total download time.
- moving Makefile to parent folder. This resolves some of the weird path/build issues
- remove trace references to cpydiff and original file (no longer used anywhere)
- converting SOURCEDIR to a changeable variable, passed through all sphinx-build calls
- adding path to conf.py, in case it moves again
- making `-v` default with VERBOSE
- making `-E` default with FORCE
- creating BASEOPTS to store all the dirs, paths, and settings, passing them to sphinx-build in one long chain, instead of individually
- updating README to use the make command as default. Also added text explaining some of the customization you can add into a make command
1. Make _extext and _sidata coincide. Old _etext location did not include
.ARM.exidx sections, which were usually absent but not always. So flash
data was copied to RAM in wrong place.
2. Use decimal constants with "K" and "M" suffixes in .ld files instead
of hex constants, to make them easier to read and check for accuracy.
Instead of passing thru more and more options from tinytest-codegen to
run-tests --list-tests, pipe output of run-tests --list-tests into
tinytest-codegen.
Gets passed to run-tests --list-tests to get actual list of tests to use.
If --target= is not given, legacy set hardcoded in tinytest-codegen itself
is used.
Also, get rid of tinytest test groups - they aren't really used for
anything, and only complicate processing. Besides, one of the next
step is to limit number of tests per a generated file to control
the binary size, which also will require "flat" list of tests.
The way tinytest was used in qemu-arm test target is that it didn't test
much. MicroPython tests are based on matching the test output against
reference output, but qemu-arm's implementation didn't do that, it
effectively tested just that there was no exception during test
execution. "upytesthelper" wrapper was introduce to fix it, and so
test generator is now switched to generate test code for it.
Also, fix PEP8 and other codestyle issues.
This does two major things:
1. It stores the arm gcc in the repo. The download from the PPA was taking between 2 and 7 minutes.
2. It splits each board into a separate job so they are built in parallel.
