Its addition was due to an early exploration on how to add CPython-like
stream interface. It's clear that it's not needed and just takes up
bytes in all ports.
In order to have more fine-grained control over how builtin functions are
constructed, the MP_DECLARE_CONST_FUN_OBJ macros are made more specific,
with suffix of _0, _1, _2, _3, _VAR, _VAR_BETEEN or _KW. These names now
match the MP_DEFINE_CONST_FUN_OBJ macros.
Running Python code on a hard interrupt is incompatible with having a GIL,
because most of the time the GIL will be held by the user thread when the
interrupt arrives. Hard interrupts mean that we should process them right
away and hence can't wait until the GIL is released.
The problem with the current code is that a hard interrupt will try to
exit/enter the GIL while it is still held by the user thread, hence leading
to a deadlock.
This patch works around such a problem by just making GIL exit/enter a
no-op when in an interrupt context, or when interrupts are disabled.
See issue #2406.
machine.POWER_ON is renamed to machine.PWRON_RESET to match other
reset-cause constants that all end in _RESET. The cc3200 port keeps a
legacy definition of POWER_ON for backwards compatibility.
This new config option allows to control whether MicroPython uses its own
internal printf or not (if not, an external one should be linked in).
Accompanying this new option is the inclusion of lib/utils/printf.c in the
core list of source files, so that ports no longer need to include it
themselves.
This type was used only for the typedef of mp_obj_t, which is now defined
by the object representation. So we can now remove this unused typedef,
to simplify the mpconfigport.h file.
These macros are broken and are anyway unused on these two ports. If they
are ever needed in the future then their implementation can be taken from
either stmhal (working macros in mpconfigport.h) or esp8266 (functions).
The 16k FreeRTOS heap originally had all TCBs and stacks dynamically
allocated within it (plus semaphores and some other things). Now that
xTaskCreateStatic is used instead of xTaskCreate, the TCBs and stacks
are allocated statically and no longer use any of the FreeRTOS heap.
Therefore, the FreeRTOS stack can be shrunk by the amount that has been
made static. Furthermore, the TCBs and stack that are now static should
be placed in the .rtos_heaps section of RAM because this RAM is treated
specially by the bootloader (the bootloader executes from the first 16k
of RAM and loads the firmware into the section starting after the 16k).
After this patch the FreeRTOS heap (ucHeap) is 7200 bytes. The memory
available for the MicroPython heap is 54936 bytes (including GC overhead).
In VStartSimpleLinkSpawnTask we change xTaskCreate to xTaskCreateStatic
so that the task is created using statically allocated memory for the TCB
and stack.
This means that xTaskCreate function is no longer needed (the static
version is now used exclusively).
This function is no longer used. Having the .boot section attribute
meant that it was included in the firmware regargless of use. Without
this attribute the linker can remove the function.
This allows to statically allocate the TCB (thread control block) and
thread stack in the BSS segment, reducing the need for dynamic memory
allocation.
This is a pristine copy (actually a subset of files) of upstream FreeRTOS
v9.0.0.
Modifications to the previous version of FreeRTOS (v8.1.2) included
addition of __attribute__ ((section (".boot"))) to the following
functions:
pxPortInitialiseStack
prvTaskExitError
prvPortStartFirstTask
xPortStartScheduler
vPortSetupTimerInterrupt
xTaskGenericCreate
vTaskStartScheduler
prvInitialiseTCBVariables
prvInitialiseTaskLists
prvAllocateTCBAndStack
This attribute will need to be reinstated on a case-by-case basis
because some of the above functions are now removed/changed.
A standard I2C address is 7 bits but addresses 0b0000xxx and 0b1111xxx
are reserved. The scan() method is changed to reflect this, along with
the docs.
- add template rule that converts a specified source file into a qstring file
- add special rule for generating a central header that contains all
extracted/autogenerated strings - defined by QSTR_DEFS_COLLECTED
variable. Each platform appends a list of sources that may contain
qstrings into a new build variable: SRC_QSTR. Any autogenerated
prerequisities are should be appened to SRC_QSTR_AUTO_DEPS variable.
- remove most qstrings from py/qstrdefs, keep only qstrings that
contain special characters - these cannot be easily detected in the
sources without additional annotations
- remove most manual qstrdefs, use qstrdef autogen for: py, cc3200,
stmhal, teensy, unix, windows, pic16bit:
- remove all micropython generic qstrdefs except for the special strings that contain special characters (e.g. /,+,<,> etc.)
- remove all port specific qstrdefs except for special strings
- append sources for qstr generation in platform makefiles (SRC_QSTR)
Properly calculate the period and the prescaler, this now allows to
set the PWM frequency down to 5Hz. Make Timer IDs go from 0 to 3.
Add the trigger definitions for the channel IRQ.
The first argument to the type.make_new method is naturally a uPy type,
and all uses of this argument cast it directly to a pointer to a type
structure. So it makes sense to just have it a pointer to a type from
the very beginning (and a const pointer at that). This patch makes
such a change, and removes all unnecessary casting to/from mp_obj_t.
