With this patch str/bytes construction is streamlined. Always use a
vstr to build a str/bytes object. If the size is known beforehand then
use vstr_init_len to allocate only required memory. Otherwise use
vstr_init and the vstr will grow as needed. Then use
mp_obj_new_str_from_vstr to create a str/bytes object using the vstr
memory.
Saves code ROM: 68 bytes on stmhal, 108 bytes on bare-arm, and 336 bytes
on unix x64.
Pulled in and modified work done by mux/iabdalkader on cc3k driver, from
iabdalkader-cc3k-update branch. That branch was terribly messy and had
too many conflicts to merge neatly.
Blanket wide to all .c and .h files. Some files originating from ST are
difficult to deal with (license wise) so it was left out of those.
Also merged modpyb.h, modos.h, modstm.h and modtime.h in stmhal/.
Decided to write own script to pull documentation from comments in C code.
Style for writing auto generated documentation is: start line with ///
and then use standard markdown to write the comment. Keywords
recognised by the scraper begin with backslash. See code for examples.
Running: python gendoc.py modpyb.c accel.c adc.c dac.c extint.c i2c.c
led.c pin.c rng.c servo.c spi.c uart.c usrsw.c, will generate a HTML
structure in gendoc-out/.
gendoc.py is crude but functional. Needed something quick, and this was
it.
The three classes I2C, SPI and USART now have a fairly uniform (Python)
API. All are constructed, initialised and deinitialised in the same
way. They can have most of their parameters set, using keyword arguments.
All have send and recv (although slightly different with I2C requiring an
address in master mode). recv can do inplace receiving (ie store the
data in a previously-created bytearray).
It's just polling mode at the moment, but interrupt and DMA would be
nice to add.
