Under python3 (tested with 3.6.7) bytes with a list of integers as an
argument returns a different result than under python 2.7 (tested with
2.7.15rc1) which causes pydfu.py to fail when run under 2.7. Changing
bytes to bytearray makes pydfu work properly under both Python 2.7 and
Python 3.6.
If you happen to only have a really simple frozen file that doesn't contain
any new qstrs then the generated frozen_mpy.c file contains an empty
enumeration which causes a C compile time error.
Following an equivalent fix to py/bc.c. The reason the incorrect values
for the opcode constants were not previously causing a bug is because they
were never being used: these opcodes always have qstr arguments so the part
of the code that was comparing them would never be reached.
Thanks to @malinah for finding the problem and providing the initial patch.
A DFU device must be in the idle state before it can be programmed, and
this requires either clearing the status or aborting, depending on its
current state. Code is added to do this. And the USB transfer size is now
automatically detected so devices with a size less than 2048 bytes work
correctly.
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.
Some Python linters don't like unconditional except clauses because they
catch SystemExit and KeyboardInterrupt, which usually is not the intended
behaviour.
There appears to be an issue on Windows with CPython >= 3.6,
sys.stdout.flush() raises an exception:
OSError: [WinError 87] The parameter is incorrect
It works fine to just catch and ignore the error on the flush line. Tested
on Windows 10 x64 1803 (Build 17134.228), Python 3.6.4 amd64.
This saves code space in builds which use link-time optimization.
The optimization drops the untranslated strings and replaces them
with a compressed_string_t struct. It can then be decompressed to
a c string.
Builds without LTO work as well but include both untranslated
strings and compressed strings.
This work could be expanded to include QSTRs and loaded strings if
a compress method is added to C. Its tracked in #531.
