Boosted performance, board.json metadata, more mimxrt, rp2, samd features
This release of MicroPython sees a boost to the overall performance of the
VM and runtime. This is achieved by the addition of an optional cache to
speed up general hash table lookups, as well as a fast path in the VM for
the LOAD_ATTR opcode on instance types. The new configuration options are
MICROPY_OPT_MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE and MICROPY_OPT_LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH. As part
of this improvement the MICROPY_OPT_CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE option has
been removed, which provided a similar map caching mechanism but with the
cache stored in the bytecode, which made it not useful on bare metal ports.
The new mechanism is measured to be at least as good as the old one,
applies to more map lookups, has a constant RAM overhead, and applies to
native code as well as bytecode.
These performance options are enabled on the esp32, mimxrt, rp2, stm32 and
unix ports. For esp32 and mimxrt some code is also moved to RAM to further
boost performance. On stm32, performance increases by about 20% for
benchmarks that are heavy on name lookups, like misc_pystone.py and
misc_raytrace.py. On esp32 performance can increase by 2-3x, and on mimxrt
it is up to 6x.
All boards in all ports now have a board.json metadata file, which is used
to automatically build firmware and generate a webpage for that board
(among other possibilities). Auto-build scripts have been added for this
purpose and they build all esp32, mimxrt, rp2, samd and stm32 boards. The
generated output is available at https://micropython.org/download.
Support for FROZEN_DIR and FROZEN_MPY_DIR has been deprecated for some time
and was finally removed in this release. Instead of these, FROZEN_MANIFEST
can be used. The io.resource_stream() function is also removed, replaced
by the pure Python version in micropython-lib.
The search order for importing frozen Python modules is now controlled by
the ".frozen" entry in sys.path. This string is added by default in the
second position in sys.path. User code should adjust sys.path depending on
the desired behaviour. Putting ".frozen" first in sys.path will speed up
importing frozen modules.
A bug in multiple precision integers with bitwise of -0 was fixed in commit
2c139bbf4e.
The platform module has been added to allow querying the compiler and
underlying SDK/HAL/libc version. This is enabled on esp32, mimxrt and
stm32 ports.
The mpremote tool now supports seek, flush, mkdir and rmdir on PC-mounted
filesystems. And a help command has been added.
The documentation has seen many additions and improvements thanks (for a
second time) to the Google Season of Docs project. The rp2 documentation
now includes a reference for PIO assembly instructions, a PIO quick
reference and a PIO tutorial. The random and stm modules have been
documented, along with sys.settrace, manifest.py files and mpremote. There
is also now more detail about the differences between MicroPython and
standard Python 3.5 and above.
The esp32 port sees support for ESP32-S3 SoCs, and new boards GENERIC_S3,
ESP32_S2_WROVER, LOLIN_S2_MINI, LOLIN_S2_PICO and UM_FEATHERS2NEO. The PWM
driver has been improved and now supports all PWM timers and channels, and
the duty_u16() and duty_ns() methods, and it keeps the duty constant when
changing frequency. The machine.bitstream() function has been improved to
use RMT, with an option to select the original bit-banging implementation.
The mimxrt port gained new hardware features: SDRAM and SD card support, as
well as network integration with a LAN driver. The machine.WDT class was
added along with the machine.reset_cause(), machine.soft_reset(),
machine.unique_id() add machine.bitstream() functions. DHT sensor support
was added, and f-strings were enabled.
The rp2 port now has support for networking, and bluetooth using NimBLE.
The Nina-W10 WiFi/BT driver is fully integrated and supported by the new
Arduino Nano RP2040 connect board. I2S protocol support is added along
with a machine.bitstream() driver and DHT sensor support. The PWM driver
had a bug fix with the accuracy of setting/getting the frequency, and the
duty value is now retained when changing the frequency.
On the samd port there is now support for the internal flash being a block
device, and for filesystems and the os module. Pin and LED classes have
been implemented. There are more time functions, more Python features
enabled, and the help() function is added. SEEED_WIO_TERMINAL and
SEEED_XIAO board definitions are now available.
The stm32 port now has support for F427, F479 and H7A3(Q)/H7B3(Q) MCUs, and
new board definitions for VCC_GND_H743VI, OLIMEX_H407, MIKROE_QUAIL,
GARATRONIC_PYBSTICK26_F411, STM32H73B3I_DK. A bug was fixed in the SPI
driver where a SPI transfer could fail if the CYW43 WiFi driver was also
active at the same time.
On the windows port the help() function has been enabled, and support for
build variants added, to match the unix port.
The zephyr port upgraded Zephyr to v2.7.0.
The change in code size since the previous release for various ports is
(absolute and percentage change in the text section):
bare-arm: -1520 -2.605%
minimal x86: -2256 -1.531%
unix x64: -457 -0.089%
unix nanbox: -925 -0.204%
stm32: +312 +0.079% PYBV10
cc3200: -176 -0.096%
esp8266: +532 +0.076% GENERIC
esp32: +27096 +1.820% GENERIC
nrf: -212 -0.121% pca10040
rp2: +9904 +2.051% PICO
samd: +35332 +33.969% ADAFRUIT_ITSYBITSY_M4_EXPRESS
The changes that dominate these numbers are:
- bare-arm, minimal: use of new MICROPY_CONFIG_ROM_LEVEL_MINIMUM option and
subsequent disabling of remaining optional features
- unix, cc3200, nrf: general code size reductions of the core
- stm32: performance improvements, addition of platform module
- esp8266: enabling f-strings
- esp32: use of -O2 instead of -Os
- rp2: machine.I2S and other new hardware features
- samd: filesystem support and other new hardware features

In commit 86ce442607 the '.frozen' entry was
added at the start of sys.path, to allow control over when frozen modules
are searched during import, and retain existing behaviour whereby frozen
was searched before the filesystem.
But Python semantics of sys.path require sys.path[0] to be the directory of
the currently executing script, or ''.
This commit moves the '.frozen' entry to second place in sys.path, so
sys.path[0] retains its correct value (described above).

This commit makes sure that the value zero is always encoded in an mpz_t as
neg=0 and len=0 (previously it was just len=0).
This invariant is needed for some of the bitwise operations that operate on
negative numbers, because they cannot handle -0. For example
(-((1<<100)-(1<<100)))|1 was being computed as -65535, instead of 1.
Fixes issue #8042.

This feature is not enabled on any port, it's not in CPython's io module,
and functionality is better suited to the micropython-lib implementation of
pkg_resources.
This combines some test vectors from the implementation & a NIST
standards document, plus the code from the docstring.
The test vectors were eyeball-verified.
Expected result of const.py will be matched only when MICROPY_COMP_CONST is
enabled. For easy understanding, added description at the first of the
test code.
F-strings, new machine.I2S class, ESP32-C3 support and LEGO_HUB_NO6 board
This release of MicroPython adds support for f-strings (PEP-498), with a
few limitations compared to normal Python. F-strings are essentially
syntactic sugar for "".format() and make formatting strings a lot more
convenient. Other improvements to the core runtime include pretty printing
OSError when it has two arguments (an errno code and a string), scheduling
of KeyboardInterrupt on the main thread, and support for a single argument
to the optimised form of StopIteration.
In the machine module a new I2S class has been added, with support for
esp32 and stm32 ports. This provides a consistent API for transmit and
receive of audio data in blocking, non-blocking and asyncio-based
operation. Also, the json module has support for the "separators" argument
in the dump and dumps functions, and framebuf now includes a way to blit
between frame buffers of different formats using a palette. A new,
portable machine.bitstream function is also added which can output a stream
of bits with configurable timing, and is used as the basis for driving
WS2812 LEDs in a common way across ports.
There has been some restructuring of the repository directory layout, with
all third-party code now in the lib/ directory. And a new top-level
directory shared/ has been added with first-party code that was previously
in lib/ moved there.
The docs have seen further improvement with enhancements and additions to
the rp2 parts, as well as a new quick reference for the zephyr port.
The terms master/slave have been replaced with controller/peripheral,
mainly relating to I2C and SPI usage. And u-module references have been
replaced with just the module name without the u-prefix to help clear up
the intended usage of modules in MicroPython.
For the esp8266 and esp32 ports, hidden networks are now included in WLAN
scan results. On the esp32 the RMT class is enhanced with idle_level and
write_pulses modes. There is initial support for ESP32-C3 chips with
GENERIC_C3 and GENERIC_C3_USB boards.
The javascript port has had its Makefile and garbage collector
implementation reworked so it compiles and runs with latest the Emscripten
using asyncify.
The mimxrt port sees the addition of hardware I2C and SPI support, as well
as some additional methods to the machine module. There is also support
for Hyperflash chips.
The nrf port now has full VFS storage support, enables source-line on
traceback, and has .mpy features consistent with other ports.
For the rp2 port there is now more configurability for boards, and more
boards added.
The stm32 port has a new LEGO_HUB_NO6 board definition with detailed
information how to get this LEGO Hub running stock MicroPython. There is
also now support to change the CPU frequency on STM32WB MCUs. And USBD_xxx
descriptor options have been renamed to MICROPY_HW_USB_xxx.

This commit removes all parts of code associated with the existing
MICROPY_OPT_CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE optimisation option, including the
-mcache-lookup-bc option to mpy-cross.
This feature originally provided a significant performance boost for Unix,
but wasn't able to be enabled for MCU targets (due to frozen bytecode), and
added significant extra complexity to generating and distributing .mpy
files.
The equivalent performance gain is now provided by the combination of
MICROPY_OPT_LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and MICROPY_OPT_MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE (which has
been enabled on the unix port in the previous commit).
It's hard to provide precise performance numbers, but tests have been run
on a wide variety of architectures (x86-64, ARM Cortex, Aarch64, RISC-V,
xtensa) and they all generally agree on the qualitative improvements seen
by the combination of MICROPY_OPT_LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and
MICROPY_OPT_MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE.
For example, on a "quiet" Linux x64 environment (i3-5010U @ 2.10GHz) the
change from CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE, to LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH combined
with MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE is:
diff of scores (higher is better)
N=2000 M=2000 bccache -> attrmapcache diff diff% (error%)
bm_chaos.py 13742.56 -> 13905.67 : +163.11 = +1.187% (+/-3.75%)
bm_fannkuch.py 60.13 -> 61.34 : +1.21 = +2.012% (+/-2.11%)
bm_fft.py 113083.20 -> 114793.68 : +1710.48 = +1.513% (+/-1.57%)
bm_float.py 256552.80 -> 243908.29 : -12644.51 = -4.929% (+/-1.90%)
bm_hexiom.py 521.93 -> 625.41 : +103.48 = +19.826% (+/-0.40%)
bm_nqueens.py 197544.25 -> 217713.12 : +20168.87 = +10.210% (+/-3.01%)
bm_pidigits.py 8072.98 -> 8198.75 : +125.77 = +1.558% (+/-3.22%)
misc_aes.py 17283.45 -> 16480.52 : -802.93 = -4.646% (+/-0.82%)
misc_mandel.py 99083.99 -> 128939.84 : +29855.85 = +30.132% (+/-5.88%)
misc_pystone.py 83860.10 -> 82592.56 : -1267.54 = -1.511% (+/-2.27%)
misc_raytrace.py 21490.40 -> 22227.23 : +736.83 = +3.429% (+/-1.88%)
This shows that the new optimisations are at least as good as the existing
inline-bytecode-caching, and are sometimes much better (because the new
ones apply caching to a wider variety of map lookups).
The new optimisations can also benefit code generated by the native
emitter, because they apply to the runtime rather than the generated code.
The improvement for the native emitter when LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and
MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE are enabled is (same Linux environment as above):
diff of scores (higher is better)
N=2000 M=2000 native -> nat-attrmapcache diff diff% (error%)
bm_chaos.py 14130.62 -> 15464.68 : +1334.06 = +9.441% (+/-7.11%)
bm_fannkuch.py 74.96 -> 76.16 : +1.20 = +1.601% (+/-1.80%)
bm_fft.py 166682.99 -> 168221.86 : +1538.87 = +0.923% (+/-4.20%)
bm_float.py 233415.23 -> 265524.90 : +32109.67 = +13.756% (+/-2.57%)
bm_hexiom.py 628.59 -> 734.17 : +105.58 = +16.796% (+/-1.39%)
bm_nqueens.py 225418.44 -> 232926.45 : +7508.01 = +3.331% (+/-3.10%)
bm_pidigits.py 6322.00 -> 6379.52 : +57.52 = +0.910% (+/-5.62%)
misc_aes.py 20670.10 -> 27223.18 : +6553.08 = +31.703% (+/-1.56%)
misc_mandel.py 138221.11 -> 152014.01 : +13792.90 = +9.979% (+/-2.46%)
misc_pystone.py 85032.14 -> 105681.44 : +20649.30 = +24.284% (+/-2.25%)
misc_raytrace.py 19800.01 -> 23350.73 : +3550.72 = +17.933% (+/-2.79%)
In summary, compared to MICROPY_OPT_CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE, the new
MICROPY_OPT_LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and MICROPY_OPT_MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE options:
- are simpler;
- take less code size;
- are faster (generally);
- work with code generated by the native emitter;
- can be used on embedded targets with a small and constant RAM overhead;
- allow the same .mpy bytecode to run on all targets.
See #7680 for further discussion. And see also #7653 for a discussion
about simplifying mpy-cross options.

This feature {x=} was introduced in Python 3.8 so needs a separate .exp
file to run on earlier Python versions.

This achieves a substantial performance improvement when rendering glyphs
to color displays, the benefit increasing proportional to the number of
pixels in the glyph.
This also tweaks the repr for unicode strings to only escape a few
utf-8 code points. This makes emoji show in os.listdir() for
example.
Also, enable exfat support on full builds.
Fixes#5146
Prevents the finaliser from being missed if there's a dangling reference
on the stack to one of the blocks for the files (that this test checks
that they get finalised).

This implements (most of) the PEP-498 spec for f-strings and is based on
https://github.com/micropython/micropython/pull/4998 by @klardotsh.
It is implemented in the lexer as a syntax translation to `str.format`:
f"{a}" --> "{}".format(a)
It also supports:
f"{a=}" --> "a={}".format(a)
This is done by extracting the arguments into a temporary vstr buffer,
then after the string has been tokenized, the lexer input queue is saved
and the contents of the temporary vstr buffer are injected into the lexer
instead.
There are four main limitations:
- raw f-strings (`fr` or `rf` prefixes) are not supported and will raise
`SyntaxError: raw f-strings are not supported`.
- literal concatenation of f-strings with adjacent strings will fail
"{}" f"{a}" --> "{}{}".format(a) (str.format will incorrectly use
the braces from the non-f-string)
f"{a}" f"{a}" --> "{}".format(a) "{}".format(a) (cannot concatenate)
- PEP-498 requires the full parser to understand the interpolated

resolve nested braces in expressions like
f"{'}'}"
- The !r, !s, and !a conversions are not supported.

The MP_OBJ_STOP_ITERATION optimisation is a shortcut for creating a
StopIteration() exception object, and means that heap memory does not need
to be allocated for the exception (in cases where it can be used). This
commit allows this optimised object to take an optional argument (before,
it could only have no argument).
The commit also adds some new tests to cover corner cases with
StopIteration and generators that previously did not work.

Currently when using uasyncio.start_server() the socket configuration is
done inside a uasyncio.create_task() background function. If the address
and port are already in use however this throws an OSError which cannot be
cleanly caught behind the create_task().
This commit moves the getaddrinfo and socket binding to the start_server()
function, and only creates the task if that succeeds. This means that any
OSError from the initial socket configuration is propagated directly up the
call stack, compatible with CPython behaviour.
See #7444.

This commit fixes a problem with a race between cancellation of task A and
completion of task B, when A waits on B. If task B completes just before
task A is cancelled then the cancellation of A does not work. Instead,
the CancelledError meant to cancel A gets passed through to B (that's
expected behaviour) but B handles it as a "Task exception wasn't retrieved"
scenario, printing out such a message (this is because finished tasks point
their "coro" attribute to themselves to indicate they are done, and
implement the throw() method, but that method inadvertently catches the
CancelledError). The correct behaviour is for B to bounce that
CancelledError back out.
This bug is mainly seen when wait_for() is used, and in that context the
symptoms are:
- occurs when using wait_for(T, S), if the task T being waited on finishes
at exactly the same time as the wait-for timeout S expires
- task T will have run to completion
- the "Task exception wasn't retrieved message" is printed with
"<class 'CancelledError'>" as the error (ie no traceback)
- the wait_for(T, S) call never returns (it's never put back on the
uasyncio run queue) and all tasks waiting on this are blocked forever
from running
- uasyncio otherwise continues to function and other tasks continue to be
scheduled as normal
The fix here reworks the "waiting" attribute of Task to be called "state"
and uses it to indicate whether a task is: running and not awaited on,
running and awaited on, finished and not awaited on, or finished and
awaited on. This means the task does not need to point "coro" to itself to
indicate finished, and also allows removal of the throw() method.
A benefit of this is that "Task exception wasn't retrieved" messages can go
back to being able to print the name of the coroutine function.

Take changes from https://github.com/micropython/micropython/pull/3694
(expected to be merged soon) as well as other accumulated stuff from
upstream that we want.
Leave our desired differences, including:
* silencing warnings in python3
* renaming the file descriptors returned by openpty()
* adding ulab tests
* Adding "." to the import path for skip_if
This speeds up `make test_full` and should also reduce the time in CI
a little bit.
The random module's getrandbits() method didn't give a proper error message
when calling it with a value that was outside of the range of 1-32, which
can lead to confusion using this function (which under CPython can accept
numbers larger than 32). Now instead of simply giving a ValueError it
gives an error message that states that the number of bits is constrained.
Also, since the random module's functions getrandbits() and randint()
differ from CPython, tests have been added to describe these differences.
For getrandbits the relevant documentation is shown and added to the docs.
The same is given for randint method so that the information is more easily
found.
Finally, since the int object lacks the bit_length() method there is a test
for that method also to include within the docs, showing the difference to
CPython.
If digest is called then the hash object is put in a "final" state and
calling update() or digest() again will raise a ValueError (instead of
silently producing the wrong result).

Array equality is defined as each element being equal but to keep
code size down MicroPython implements a binary comparison. This
can only be used correctly for elements with the same binary layout
though so turn it into an NotImplementedError when comparing types
for which the binary comparison yielded incorrect results: types
with different sizes, and floating point numbers because nan != nan.
The RP2040 has 2 cores and supports running at most 2 Python threads (the

created because core1 is already in use. This commit adjusts some thread
tests to be robust against such OSError's. These tests now pass on rp2
boards.

This commit makes gc_lock_depth have one counter per thread, instead of one
global counter. This makes threads properly independent with respect to
the GC, in particular threads can now independently lock the GC for
themselves without locking it for other threads. It also means a given
thread can run a hard IRQ without temporarily locking the GC for all other
threads and potentially making them have MemoryError exceptions at random
locations (this really only occurs on MCUs with multiple cores and no GIL,
eg on the rp2 port).
The commit also removes protection of the GC lock/unlock functions, which
is no longer needed when the counter is per thread (and this also fixes the
cas where a hard IRQ calling gc_lock() may stall waiting for the mutex).
It also puts the check for `gc_lock_depth > 0` outside the GC mutex in
gc_alloc, gc_realloc and gc_free, to potentially prevent a hard IRQ from
waiting on a mutex if it does attempt to allocate heap memory (and putting
the check outside the GC mutex is now safe now that there is a
gc_lock_depth per thread).

* modframebuf: _mp_framebuf_p_t is not "really" a protocol, but the
QSTR assignment caused problems when building as a dynamic module
* modure: str_index_to_ptr is not in the natmod API, disable URE match
spans when dynamic. mp_obj_len() is a bugfix, we should throw here
if the object is not string-like
* moduzlib: Correct paths to uzlib headers & sources. this relative
path (from moduzlib.c to the referenced file) works in all cases,
the other only worked from ports/PORTNAME.
* dynruntime: Handle 2-arg m_malloc, assert_native_inited, add a
micropythonish mp_arg_check_num_mp, fix mp_raise_msg to use dumb
strings, add mp_raise_arg1
* nativeglue: ad assert_native_inited
* translate: MP_ERROR_TEXT evaluates to its argument for DYNRUNTIME
* mpy-tool: A straggling magic number change
* mpy_ld: Have to renumber manually after dynruntime change
* import_mpy_native_gc.py: Update copy of features0 baked into this test
So a lock can be acquired on one Python thread and then released on
another. A test for this is added.

This commit adds the errno attribute to exceptions, so code can retrieve
errno codes from an OSError using exc.errno.
The implementation here simply lets `errno` (and the existing `value`)
attributes work on any exception instance (they both alias args[0]). This
is for efficiency and to keep code size down. The pros and cons of this
are:
Pros:
- more compatible with CPython, less difference to document and learn
- OSError().errno will correctly return None, whereas the current way of
doing it via OSError().args[0] will raise an IndexError
- it reduces code size on most bare-metal ports (because they already have
the errno qstr)
- for Python code that uses exc.errno the generated bytecode is 2 bytes
smaller and more efficient to execute (compared with exc.args[0]); so
bytecode loaded to RAM saves 2 bytes RAM for each use of this attribute,
and bytecode that is frozen saves 2 bytes flash/ROM for each use
- it's easier/shorter to type, and saves 2 bytes of space in .py files that
use it (for each use)
Cons:
- increases code size by 4-8 bytes on minimal ports that don't already have
the `errno` qstr
- all exceptions now have .errno and .value attributes (a cpydiff test is
added to address this)

Per CPython everything which comes after the command, module or file
argument is not an option for the interpreter itself. Hence the processing
of options should stop when encountering those, and the remainder be passed
as sys.argv. Note the latter was already the case for a module or file but
not for a command.
This fixes issues like 'micropython myfile.py -h' showing the help and
exiting instead of passing '-h' as sys.argv[1], likewise for
'-X <something>' being treated as a special option no matter where it
occurs on the command line.

* Always clear the peripheral interrupt so we don't hang when full
* Store the ringbuf in the object so it gets collected when we're alive
* Make UART objects have a finaliser so they are deinit when their
memory is freed
* Copy bytes into the ringbuf from the FIFO after we read to ensure
the interrupt is enabled ASAP
* Copy bytes into the ringbuf from the FIFO before measuring our
rx available because the interrupt is based on a threshold (not
> 0). For example, a single byte won't trigger an interrupt.
This adds I2SOut and PDMIn support via PIO.
StateMachines can now:
* read and read while writing
* transfer in 1, 2 or 4 byte increments
* init pins based on expected defaults automatically
* be stopped and restarted
* rxfifo can be cleared and rxstalls detected (good for tracking when
the reading code isn't keeping up)

This commit implements basic NVS support for the esp32. It follows the
pattern of the esp32.Partition class and exposes an NVS object per NVS

more types.
