It requires mp_hal_time_ns() to be provided by a port. This function
allows very accurate absolute timestamps.
Enabled on unix, windows, stm32, esp8266 and esp32.

With a warning that this way of constructing software I2C/SPI is
deprecated. The check and warning will be removed in a future release.
This should help existing code to migrate to the new SoftI2C/SoftSPI types.

Previous commits removed the ability for one I2C/SPI constructor to
construct both software- or hardware-based peripheral instances. Such
construction is now split to explicit soft and non-soft types.
This commit makes both types available in all ports that previously could
create both software and hardware peripherals: machine.I2C and machine.SPI
construct hardware instances, while machine.SoftI2C and machine.SoftSPI
create software instances.
This is a breaking change for use of software-based I2C and SPI. Code that
constructed I2C/SPI peripherals in the following way will need to be
changed:
machine.I2C(-1, ...) -> machine.SoftI2C(...)
machine.I2C(scl=scl, sda=sda) -> machine.SoftI2C(scl=scl, sda=sda)
machine.SPI(-1, ...) -> machine.SoftSPI(...)
machine.SPI(sck=sck, mosi=mosi, miso=miso)
-> machine.SoftSPI(sck=sck, mosi=mosi, miso=miso)
Code which uses machine.I2C and machine.SPI classes to access hardware
peripherals does not need to change.

The SoftSPI constructor is now used soley to create SoftSPI instances, it
can no longer delegate to create a hardware-based SPI instance.

Also rename machine_i2c_type to mp_machine_soft_i2c_type. These changes
make it clear that it's a soft-I2C implementation, and match SoftSPI.

For time-based functions that work with absolute time there is the need for
an Epoch, to set the zero-point at which the absolute time starts counting.
Such functions include time.time() and filesystem stat return values. And
different ports may use a different Epoch.
To make it clearer what functions use the Epoch (whatever it may be), and
make the ports more consistent with their use of the Epoch, this commit
renames all Epoch related functions to include the word "epoch" in their
name (and remove references to "2000").
Along with this rename, the following things have changed:
- mp_hal_time_ns() is now specified to return the number of nanoseconds
since the Epoch, rather than since 1970 (but since this is an internal
function it doesn't change anything for the user).
- littlefs timestamps on the esp8266 have been fixed (they were previously
off by 30 years in nanoseconds).
Otherwise, there is no functional change made by this commit.

This commit removes release-specific builds for the esp8266 and makes the
normal build of the GENERIC board more like the release build. This makes
esp8266 like all the other ports, for which there is no difference between
a daily build and a release build, making things less confusing.
Release builds were previously defined by UART_OS=-1 (disable OS messages)
and using manifest_release.py to include more frozen modules.
The changes in this commit are:
- Remove manifest_release.py.
- Add existing modules from manifest_release.py (except example code)
to the GENERIC board's manifest.py file.
- Change UART_OS default to -1 to disable OS messages by default.

The PWM driver uses a double buffer for the PWM timing array, one in
current use and the other one to update when changing duty parameters.
The issue was that once the duty parameters were changed the updated buffer
was applied immediately without synchronising to the start of the PWM
period. By moving the buffer toggling/swapping to the interrupt when the
cycle is done there are no more glitches.
Prior to e0905e85a7 it was possible to
disable btree support on build. This patch allows to configure btree
support on make again and also the two new introduced options for FAT and
LFS2 filesystems.
The ones that are moved out of iRAM should not need to be there, because
either they call functions in iROM (eg mp_hal_stdout_tx_str), or they are
only ever called from a function in iROM and not from an interrupt (eg
ets_esf_free_bufs).
This frees up about 800 bytes of iRAM.
GPIO interrupts can occur when the flash ROM cache is in use and so the
GPIO interrupt handler must be in iRAM. This commit moves the handler to
iRAM, and also moves mp_sched_schedule to iRAM which is called by
pin_intr_handler.
As part of this fix the Pin class can no longer support hard=True in the
Pin.irq() method, because the VM and runtime are too big to put in iRAM.
Fixes#5714.
This change is made for two reasons:
1. A 3rd-party library (eg berkeley-db-1.xx, axtls) may use the system
provided errno for certain errors, and yet MicroPython stream objects
that it calls will be using the internal mp_stream_errno. So if the
library returns an error it is not known whether the corresponding errno
code is stored in the system errno or mp_stream_errno. Using the system
errno in all cases (eg in the mp_stream_posix_XXX wrappers) fixes this
ambiguity.
2. For systems that have threading the system-provided errno should always
be used because the errno value is thread-local.
For systems that do not have an errno, the new lib/embed/__errno.c file is
provided.
Note: the uncrustify configuration is explicitly set to 'add' instead of
'force' in order not to alter the comments which use extra spaces after //
as a means of indenting text for clarity.
This commit changes the esp8266 boards to use littlefs v2 as the
filesystem, rather than FAT. Since the esp8266 doesn't expose the
filesystem to the PC over USB there's no strong reason to keep it as FAT.
Littlefs is smaller in code size, is more efficient in use of flash to
store data, is resilient over power failure, and using it saves about 4k of
heap RAM, which can now be used for other things.
This is a backwards incompatible change because all existing esp8266 boards
will need to update their filesystem after installing new firmware (eg
backup old files, install firmware, restore files to new filesystem).
As part of this commit the memory layout of the default board (GENERIC) has
changed. It now allocates all 1M of memory-mapped flash to the firmware,
so the filesystem area starts at the 2M point. This is done to allow more
frozen bytecode to be stored in the 1M of memory-mapped flash. This
requires an esp8266 module with 2M or more of flash to work, so a new board
called GENERIC_1M is added which has the old memory-mapping (but still
changed to use littlefs for the filesystem).
In summary there are now 3 esp8266 board definitions:
- GENERIC_512K: for 512k modules, doesn't have a filesystem.
- GENERIC_1M: for 1M modules, 572k for firmware+frozen code, 396k for
filesystem (littlefs).
- GENERIC: for 2M (or greater) modules, 968k for firmware+frozen code,
1M+ for filesystem (littlefs), FAT driver also included in firmware for
use on, eg, external SD cards.
This function is not used by the core but having it as part of the build
allows it to be used by user C modules, or board extensions. The linker
won't include it in the final firmware if it remains unused.
This string is recognised by uncrustify, to disable formatting in the
region marked by these comments. This is necessary in the qstrdef*.h files
to prevent modification of the strings within the Q(...). In other places
it is used to prevent excessive reformatting that would make the code less
readable.
It was originally in IRAM due to the linker script specification, but
since the function moved from lib/utils/interrupt_char.c to py/scheduler.c
it needs to be put back in IRAM.
Previous behaviour is when this argument is set to "true", in which case
the function will raise any pending exception. Setting it to "false" will
cancel any pending exception.
The ability to change the host is a frequently requested feature, so
explicitly document how it can be achieved using the existing code.
See issues #2121, #4385, #4622, #5122, #5536.
Prior to this commit, if the flash filesystem was not formatted then it
would error: "AttributeError: 'FlashBdev' object has no attribute 'mount'".
That is due to it not being able to detect the filesystem on the block
device and just trying to mount the block device directly.
This commit fixes the issue by just catching all exceptions. Also it's not
needed to try the mount if `flashbdev.bdev` is None.
Move webrepl support code from ports/esp8266/modules into extmod/webrepl
(to be alongside extmod/modwebrepl.c), and use frozen manifests to include
it in the build on esp8266 and esp32.
A small modification is made to webrepl.py to make it work on non-ESP
ports, i.e. don't call dupterm_notify if not available.
Implements text, rodata and bss generalised relocations, as well as generic
qstr-object linking. This allows importing dynamic native modules on all
supported architectures in a unified way.
This commit removes the Makefile-level MICROPY_FATFS config and moves the
MICROPY_VFS_FAT config to the Makefile level to replace it. It also moves
the include of the oofatfs source files in the build from each port to a
central place in extmod/extmod.mk.
For a port to enabled VFS FAT support it should now set MICROPY_VFS_FAT=1
at the level of the Makefile. This will include the relevant oofatfs files
in the build and set MICROPY_VFS_FAT=1 at the C (preprocessor) level.
This commit implements automatic module weak links for all built-in
modules, by searching for "ufoo" in the built-in module list if "foo"
cannot be found. This means that all modules named "ufoo" are always
available as "foo". Also, a port can no longer add any other weak links,
which makes strict the definition of a weak link.
It saves some code size (about 100-200 bytes) on ports that previously had
lots of weak links.
Some changes from the previous behaviour:
- It doesn't intern the non-u module names (eg "foo" is not interned),
which saves code size, but will mean that "import foo" creates a new qstr
(namely "foo") in RAM (unless the importing module is frozen).
- help('modules') no longer lists non-u module names, only the u-variants;
this reduces duplication in the help listing.
Weak links are effectively the same as having a set of symbolic links on
the filesystem that is searched last. So an "import foo" will search
built-in modules first, then all paths in sys.path, then weak links last,
importing "ufoo" if it exists. Thus a file called "foo.py" somewhere in
sys.path will still have precedence over the weak link of "foo" to "ufoo".
