While it is traditional to have buttons on pins that are pulled up, and
have the button connect them to the ground, some CircuitPython boards
(notably the CPX) have the button pins pulled low and the button
connects them to VCC.
This patch makes the gamepad only change the pin's pull if it wasn't
already set when passed to the constructor, and also makes it consider
a button pressed when its value is the opposite of its pull.
When requested via 'run-tests -j', more than one test will be run
at a time. On my system, (i5-3320m with 4 threads / 2 cores), this
reduces elapsed time by over 50% when testing pots/unix/micropython.
Elapsed time, seconds, best of 3 runs with each -j value:
before patchset: 18.1
-j1: 18.1
-j2: 11.3 (-37%)
-j4: 8.7 (-52%)
-j6: 8.4 (-54%)
In all cases the final output is identical:
651 tests performed (18932 individual testcases)
651 tests passed
23 tests skipped: buffered_writer...
though the individual pass/fail messages can be different/interleaved.
The VM expects that, if mp_resume() returns MP_VM_RETURN_EXCEPTION, then
the returned value is an exception instance (eg to add a traceback to it).
It's possible that a value passed to a generator's throw() is not an
exception so must be explicitly checked for if the thrown value is not
intercepted by the generator.
Thanks to @jepler for finding the bug.
Prior to this patch the code would crash if a key in a ** dict was anything
other than a str or qstr. This is because mp_setup_code_state() assumes
that keys in kwargs are qstrs (for efficiency).

micropython: ../../py/objtype.c:1100: super_attr: Assertion `MP_OBJ_IS_TYPE(self->type, &mp_type_type)' failed.
e.g., when making calls like
super(1, 1).x
Fixes the following assertion failures when the arguments to type()
were not of valid types:
micropython: ../../py/objtype.c:984: mp_obj_new_type: Assertion `MP_OBJ_IS_TYPE(bases_tuple, &mp_type_tuple)' failed.
micropython: ../../py/objtype.c:994: mp_obj_new_type: Assertion `MP_OBJ_IS_TYPE(items[i], &mp_type_type)' failed.
e.g., when making calls like
type("", (), 3)
type("", 3, {})
The main() function has a predefined type in C which is not so useful for
embedded contexts. This patch renames main() to stm32_main() so we can
define our own type signature for this function. The type signature is
defined to have a single argument which is the "reset_mode" and is passed
through as r0 from Reset_Handler. This allows, for example, a bootloader
to pass through information into the main application.
The Reset_Handler needs to copy the data section and zero the BSS, and
these operations should be as optimised as possible to reduce start up
time. The versions provided in this patch are about 2x faster (on a Cortex
M4) than the previous implementations.
Rather than pin objects themselves. The actual object is now pin_X_obj and
defines are provided so that pin_X is &pin_X_obj. This makes it so that
code that uses pin objects doesn't need to know if they are literals or
objects (that need pointers taken) or something else. They are just
entities that can be passed to the map_hal_pin_xxx functions. This mirrors
how the core handles constant objects (eg mp_const_none which is
&mp_const_none_obj) and allows for the possibility of different
implementations of the pin layer.
For example, prior to this patch there was the following:
extern const pin_obj_t pin_A0;
#define pyb_pin_X1 pin_A0
...
mp_hal_pin_high(&pin_A0);
and now there is:
extern const pin_obj_t pin_A0_obj;
#define pin_A0 (&pin_A0_obj)
#define pyb_pin_X1 pin_A0
...
mp_hal_pin_high(pin_A0);
This patch should have minimal effect on board configuration files. The
only change that may be needed is if a board has .c files that configure
pins.
These allow accessing the filesystem label. For instance,
in boot.py, you can set the label on the built-in storage with:
storage.remount('/', False)
storage.getmount('/').label = "NEWLABEL"
storage.remount('/', True)
Users with multiple CIRCUITPY boards may find it desirable to
choose a different label for each board they own.
