The C nearbyint function has exactly the semantics that Python's round()
requires, whereas C's round() requires extra steps to handle rounding of
numbers half way between integers. So using nearbyint reduces code size
and potentially eliminates any source of errors in the handling of half-way
numbers.
Also, bare-metal implementations of nearbyint can be more efficient than
round, so further code size is saved (and efficiency improved).
nearbyint is provided in the C99 standard so it should be available on all
supported platforms.
The -ansi flag is used for C dialect selection and it is equivalent to -std=c90.
Because it goes right before -std=gnu99 it is ignored as for conflicting flags
GCC always uses the last one.
We can actually handle interrupts during a thread switch (because we always
have a valid stack), but only if those interrupts don't access any of the
thread state (because the state may not correspond to the stack pointer).
So to be on the safe side we disable interrupts during the very short
period of the thread state+stack switch.
ExtInt, Timer and CAN IRQ callbacks are made to work with the scheduler.
They are still hard IRQs by default, but one can now call
micropython.schedule within the hard IRQ to schedule a soft callback.
The renames are:
HAL_Delay -> mp_hal_delay_ms
sys_tick_udelay -> mp_hal_delay_us
sys_tick_get_microseconds -> mp_hal_ticks_us
And mp_hal_ticks_ms is added to provide the full set of timing functions.
Also, a separate HAL_Delay function is added which differs slightly from
mp_hal_delay_ms and is intended for use only by the ST HAL functions.
Allows to iterate over the following without allocating on the heap:
- tuple
- list
- string, bytes
- bytearray, array
- dict (not dict.keys, dict.values, dict.items)
- set, frozenset
Allows to call the following without heap memory:
- all, any, min, max, sum
TODO: still need to allocate stack memory in bytecode for iter_buf.
This patch changes the threading implementation from simple round-robin
with busy waits on mutexs, to proper scheduling whereby threads that are
waiting on a mutex are only scheduled when the mutex becomes available.
The aapcs-linux ABI is not required, instead the default aapcs ABI is
enough. And using the default ABI means that the provided libgcc will now
link with the firmware without warnings about variable vs fixed enums.
Although the binary size increases by about 1k, RAM usage is slightly
decreased. And libgcc may prove useful in the future for things like
long-long division.
This new function controls what happens on a hard-fault:
- debugging disabled: board will do a reset
- debugging enabled: board will print registers and stack and flash LEDs
The default is disabled, ie to do a reset. This is different to previous
behaviour which flashed the LEDs and waited indefinitely.
This patch brings the _thread module to stmhal/pyboard. There is a very
simple round-robin thread scheduler, which is disabled if there is only
one thread (for efficiency when threading is not used).
The scheduler currently switches threads at a rate of 250Hz using the
systick timer and the pend-SV interrupt.
The GIL is disabled so one must be careful to use lock objects to prevent
concurrent access of objects.
The threading is disabled by default, one can enabled it with the config
option MICROPY_PY_THREAD to test it out.
The first partition is mounted as "/sd" and subsequent partitions are
mounted as "/sd<part_num>". This is backwards compatible with the previous
behaviour, which just mounted the first partition on "/sd".
At this point, only FatFs filesystems are mounted.
This patch makes the following configuration changes:
- MICROPY_FSUSERMOUNT is disabled, removing old mounting infrastructure
- MICROPY_VFS is enabled, giving new VFS sub-system
- MICROPY_VFS_FAT is enabled, giving uos.VfsFat type
- MICROPY_FATFS_OO is enabled, to use new ooFatFs lib, R0.12b
User facing API should be almost unchanged. Most notable changes are
removal of os.mkfs (use os.VfsFat.mkfs instead) and pyb.mount doesn't
allow unmounting by passing None as the device.
The order now follows that in py/mpconfig.h and is a bit cleaner and easier
to maintain. No options were changed/added/removed with this patch, it's
just a reordering.
To use this feature a port should define MICROPY_HW_SPIFLASH_SIZE_BITS
along with x_CS, x_SCK, x_MOSI, x_MISO (x=MICROPY_HW_SPIFLASH). This will
then use external SPI flash on those pins instead of the internal flash.
The SPI is done using the software implementation. There is currently only
support for standard SPI (ie not dual or quad mode).
stmhal will now be built by default with frozen bytecode from scripts
stored in the stmhal/modules/ directory. This can be disabled or
changed to another directory by overridding the make variable
FROZEN_MPY_DIR.
Sys-tick resolution is 1ms and a value of 2 will give a delay between 1ms
and 2ms (whereas a value of 1 gives a delay between 0ms and 1ms, which is
too short).
The HAL_UART_Transmit function has changed in the latest HAL version such
that the Timeout is a timeout for the entire function, rather than a
timeout between characters as it was before. The HAL function also does
not allow one to reliably tell how many characters were sent before the
timeout (if a timeout occurred).
This patch provides a custom function to do UART transmission, completely
replacing the HAL version, to fix the above-mentioned issues.
There is a minor functional change with this patch, that the GPIO are now
configured in fast mode, whereas they were in high speed mode before. But
the SDIO should still work because SD CK frequency is at most 25MHz.
They are the same as the existing raw constants (namely 0, 1, 2) but we
want to explicitly show that one can use the HAL's constants if necessary
(eg the mpconfigboard.h files do use the HAL's constants to define the
pull state of certain configurable pins).
Without this the timer will have random values for its State and Lock
entries. The object can then be in a locked state leading to some HAL
functions returning immediately with an error code (which is unchecked).
This patch fixes such a bug which did manifest itself as PWM not working
correctly for LEDs.
mp_kbd_exception is now considered the standard variable name to hold the
singleton KeyboardInterrupt exception.
This patch also moves the creation of this object from pyb_usb_init() to
main().
This is a pure refactoring (and simplification) of code so that stmhal
uses the software SPI class provided in extmod, for the machine.SPI
implementation.
So long as a port defines relevant mp_hal_pin_xxx functions (and delay) it
can make use of this software SPI class without the need for additional
code.
Previous to this patch trying to construct, but not init, a UART that
didn't exist on the target board would actually succeed. Only when
initialising the UART would it then raise an exception that the UART does
not exist.
This patch adds an explicit check that the constructed UART does in fact
exist for the given board.
This follows the pattern of other peripherals (I2C, SPI) to specify the
pins using pin objects instead of a pair of GPIO port and pin number. It
makes it easier to customise the UART pins for a particular board.
The constants MP_IOCTL_POLL_xxx, which were stmhal-specific, are moved
from stmhal/pybioctl.h (now deleted) to py/stream.h. And they are renamed
to MP_STREAM_POLL_xxx to be consistent with other such constants.
All uses of these constants have been updated.
