Also found a race condition between timer_disable and redraw, which
would happen if I debugger-paused inside common_hal_rgbmatrix_timer_disable
or put a delay or print inside it. That's what pausing inside reconstruct
fixes.
So that the "right timer" can be chosen, `timer_allocate` now gets the `self`
pointer. It's guaranteed at this point that the pin information is accurate,
so you can e.g., find a PWM unit related to the pins themselves.
This required touching each port to add the parameter even though it's
unused everywhere but raspberrypi.
@Jerryneedell noticed that this problem affected strips short enough
to not use the DMA peripheral, thanks for the hot tip!
Instead of checking for background tasks after every byte transfer,
try up to 32 transfers before attending to background tasks.
This fixes the problem I was seeing on my 5-pixel circuit.
Closes#4135.
This makes all the following work:
* normal microcontroller.reset()
* reset into safe mode or UF2 bootloader via microcontroller.on_next_reset()
* reset into UF2 bootloader via the "1200 baud trick"
The implementation of reset_cpu is from micropython.
The RP2040 is new microcontroller from Raspberry Pi that features
two Cortex M0s and eight PIO state machines that are good for
crunching lots of data. It has 264k RAM and a built in UF2
bootloader too.
