This patch allows a particular board to independently specify the linker
scripts for 1) the MCU memory layout; 2) how the different firmware
sections are arranged in memory. Right now all boards follow the same
layout with two separate firmware section, one for the ISR and one for the
text and data. This leaves room for storage (filesystem data) to live
between the firmware sections.
The idea with this patch is to accommodate boards that don't have internal
flash storage and only need to have one continuous firmware section. Thus
the common.ld script is renamed to common_ifs.ld to make explicit that it
is used for cases where the board has internal flash storage.
Explicitly writing out the implementation of sys_tick_has_passed makes
these bdev files independent of systick.c and more reusable as a general
component. It also reduces the code size slightly.
The irq.h header is added to spibdev.c because it uses declarations in that
file (irq.h is usually included implicitly via mphalport.h but not always).
Taking the address assumes that the pin is an object (eg a struct), but it
could be a literal (eg an int). Not taking the address makes this driver
more general for other uses.
genhdr/pins.h is an internal header file that defines all of the pin
objects and it's cleaner to have pin.h include it (where the struct's for
these objects are defined) rather than an explicit include by every user.
.. defaulting to off for circuitpython-supported boards, on for others.
.. fixing up the tests that fail when it is turned off, so that they skip
instead of failing
We added a check to make sure the pins are in a high state before
initing the bus. This leads to a friendly error message when someone
forgets to add the pull up resistors to their circuit.
Before this change, `microcontroller.cpu.uid` returned values
where the top 4 bits of each byte were zero, because of
an incorrect bitmask used in this function.
The HAL requires strict aliasing optimisation to be turned on to function
correctly (at least for the SD card driver on F4 MCUs). This optimisation
was recently disabled with the addition of H7 support due to the H7 HAL
having errors with the strict aliasing optimisation enabled. But this is
now fixed in the latest stm32lib and so the optimisation can now be
re-enabled.
Thanks to @chuckbook for finding that there was a problem with the SD card
on F4 MCUs with the strict aliasing optimisation disabled.
CPython doesn't allow SEEK_CUR with non-zero offset for files in text mode,
and uPy inherited this behaviour for both text and binary files. It makes
sense to provide full support for SEEK_CUR of binary-mode files in uPy, and
to do this in a minimal way means also allowing to use SEEK_CUR with
non-zero offsets on text-mode files. That seems to be a fair compromise.
.. the price of this appears to be about 112 bytes of flash and 12
bytes of RAM, according to the stats printed during the build.
It also uses up 4 directory entries (out of 128), but does not reduce
the number of blocks usable for storing file contents.
These are the same items noted in the Adafruit README for Trinket M0
as preventing MacOS indexing.
