Testing performed: I used a Particle Xenon with a HDA1334 I2S DAC.
I played a variety of mono 16-bit samples at 11025 and 22050Hz nominal
bit rates. With this setup, all the 11025Hz samples sound good.
I tested play, pause, and loop functionality.
During some runs with 22050Hz samples, there were glitches. However,
these may have only occurred during runs where I had set breakpoints
and watchpoints in gdb.
I also tested with a MAX98357A I2S amplifier. On this device, everything
sounded "scratchy". I was powering it from 5V and the 5V rail seemed
steady, so I don't have an explanation for this. However, I haven't
tried it with a SAMD board.
This implements AudioOut, with known caveats:
* pause/resume are not yet implemented (this is just a bug)
* at best, the sample fidelity is 8 bits (this is a hardware limitation)
Testing performed:
My test system is a Particle Xenon with a PAM8302 op-amp
https://www.adafruit.com/product/2130 and 8-ohm speaker. There's no
analog filtering between the Xenon's PWM pin and the "A+" input of
the amplifier; the "A-" pin is disconnected. It is powered from
VUSB.
I used pin D4, which is *NOT* listed as a low-speed-only pin, but
the code does NOT switch the pin to high drive. This is related to
an open issue for general inability to set drive level for pins
being used by a "special function" on nrf:
https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/issues/1270
Nothing about the code I've written should limit the usable pins.
All samples I played were 16-bit, generally monophonic at 11025Hz
and 22050Hz from the Debian LibreOffice package.
This creates a common safe mode mechanic that ports can share.
As a result, the nRF52 now has safe mode support as well.
The common safe mode adds a 700ms delay at startup where a reset
during that window will cause a reset into safe mode. This window
is designated by a yellow status pixel and flashing the single led
three times.
A couple NeoPixel fixes are included for the nRF52 as well.
Fixes#1034. Fixes#990. Fixes#615.
This started while adding USB MIDI support (and descriptor support is
in this change.) When seeing that I'd have to implement the MIDI class
logic twice, once for atmel-samd and once for nrf, I decided to refactor
the USB stack so its shared across ports. This has led to a number of
changes that remove items from the ports folder and move them into
supervisor.
Furthermore, we had external SPI flash support for nrf pending so I
factored out the connection between the usb stack and the flash API as
well. This PR also includes the QSPI support for nRF.
