This patch overhauls the network driver interface. A generic NIC must
provide a set of C-level functions to implement low-level socket control
(eg socket, bind, connect, send, recv). Doing this, the network and
usocket modules can then use such a NIC to implement proper socket
control at the Python level.
This patch also updates the CC3K and WIZNET5K drivers to conform to the
new interface, and fixes some bugs in the drivers. They now work
reasonably well.
This is experimental support. API is subject to changes. RTS/CTS
available on UART(2) and UART(3) only. Use as:
uart = pyb.UART(2, 9600, flow=pyb.UART.RTS | pyb.UART.CTS)
UART object now uses a stream-like interface: read, readall, readline,
readinto, readchar, write, writechar.
Timeouts are configured when the UART object is initialised, using
timeout and timeout_char keyword args.
The object includes optional read buffering, using interrupts. You can set
the buffer size dynamically using read_buf_len keyword arg. A size of 0
disables buffering.
os, time, select modules are now prefixed with u, but are still
available (via weak links) as their original names.
ure and ujson now available as re and json via weak links.
This patch enables output on the complimentary channels (TIMx_CHyN).
For timers 1 and 8, deadtime can also be inserted when the channels
transition. For the pyboard, TIM8_CH1/CH1N and TIM8_CH2/CH2N can
take advantage of this.
Timers now have the following new features:
- can init freq using floating point; eg tim.init(freq=0.1)
- tim.source_freq() added to get freq of timer clock source
- tim.freq() added to get/set freq
- print(tim) now prints freq
As per issue #876, the network module is used to configure NICs
(hardware modules) and configure routing. The usocket module is
supposed to implement the normal Python socket module and selects the
underlying NIC using routing logic.
Right now the routing logic is brain dead: first-initialised,
first-used. And the routing table is just a list of registered NICs.
cc3k and wiznet5k work, but not at the same time due to C name clashes
(to be fixed).
Note that the usocket module has alias socket, so that one can import
socket and it works as normal. But you can also override socket with
your own module, using usocket at the backend.
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.
Fix stmhal and teensy print routines to report actual prescaler an period.
Fix teensy build to use soft-float
Add USE_ARDUINO_TOOLCHAIN option to teensy build
This allows to set the pulse width (for PWM mode) as a ratio relative to
the period of the timer. Eg, 0.5 is a 50% duty cycle. You can set the
ratio in the channel init, or using channel.pulse_width_ratio; the
latter can also read the pulse width as a ratio.
Allows to create socket objects that support TCP and UDP in server and
client mode. Interface is very close to standard Python socket class,
except bind and accept do not work the same (due to hardware not
supporting them in the usual way).
Not compiled by default. To compile this module, use:
make MICROPY_PY_WIZNET5K=1
I also removed trailing spaces from modpyb.c which affected a couple
of lines technically not part of this patch.
Tested using: https://github.com/dhylands/upy-examples/blob/master/micros_test.py
which eventually fails due to wraparound issues (I could fix the test to compensate
but didn't bother)
It's still "safe" because no scripts are run. Remove the SD card if you
want to access the internal flash filesystem. Addresses issue #616.
Also: remove obsolete pyb.source_dir setting, and reset pyb.main and
pyb.usb_mode settings on soft-reset.
Converts generted pins to use qstrs instead of string pointers.
This patch also adds the following functions:
pyb.Pin.names()
pyb.Pin.af_list()
pyb.Pin.gpio()
dir(pyb.Pin.board) and dir(pyb.Pin.cpu) also produce useful results.
pyb.Pin now takes kw args.
pyb.Pin.__str__ now prints more useful information about the pin
configuration.
I found the following functions in my boot.py to be useful:
```python
def pins():
for pin_name in dir(pyb.Pin.board):
pin = pyb.Pin(pin_name)
print('{:10s} {:s}'.format(pin_name, str(pin)))
def af():
for pin_name in dir(pyb.Pin.board):
pin = pyb.Pin(pin_name)
print('{:10s} {:s}'.format(pin_name, str(pin.af_list())))
```
Some important changes to the way the file system is structured on the
pyboard:
1. 0: and 1: drive names are now replaced with POSIX inspired
directories, namely /flash and /sd.
2. Filesystem now supports the notion of a current working directory.
Supports the standard Python way of manipulating it: os.chdir and
os.getcwd.
3. On boot up, current directory is /flash if no SD inserted, else /sd
if SD inserted. Then runs boot.py and main.py from the current dir.
This is the same as the old behaviour, but is much more consistent and
flexible (eg you can os.chdir in boot.py to change where main.py is run
from).
4. sys.path (for import) is now set to '' (current dir), plus /flash
and /flash/lib, and then /sd and /sd/lib if SD inserted. This, along
with CWD, means that import now works properly. You can import a file
from the current directory.
5. os.listdir is fixed to return just the basename, not the full path.
See issue #537 for background and discussion.
Before, pyb.stdin/pyb.stdout allowed some kind of access to the USB VCP
device, but it was basic access.
This patch adds a proper USB_VCP class and object with much more control
over the USB VCP device. Create an object with pyb.USB_VCP(), then use
this object as if it were a UART object. It has send, recv, read,
write, and other methods. send and recv allow a timeout to be specified.
Addresses issue 774.
