Functions added are:
- randint
- randrange
- choice
- random
- uniform
They are enabled with configuration variable
MICROPY_PY_URANDOM_EXTRA_FUNCS, which is disabled by default. It is
enabled for unix coverage build and stmhal.
This allows FROZEN_DIR=some-directory to be specified on the make
command line, which will then add all of the files contained within
the indicated frozen directory as frozen files in the image.
There is no change in flash/ram usage if not using the feature.
This is especially useful on smaller MCUs (like the 401) which only
has 64K flash file system.
Seedable and reproducible pseudo-random number generator. Implemented
functions are getrandbits(n) (n <= 32) and seed().

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.
Adds a lot of code, makes IRQs a bit less efficient, but is very useful
for debugging. Usage: pyb.irq_stats() returns a memory view that can be
read and written, eg:
list(pyb.irq_stats())
pyb.irq_stats()[0]
pyb.irq_stats()[0] = 0
The patch provides general IRQ_ENTER() and IRQ_EXIT() macros that can be
modified to provide further IRQ statistics if desired.
To let unix port implement "machine" functionality on Python level, and
keep consistent naming in other ports (baremetal ports will use magic
module "symlinking" to still load it on "import machine").
Fixes#1701.
Similar to recently added feature in unix port: if event triggers for an
objects, its polling flags are automatically reset, so it won't be polled
until they are set again explicitly.
Previously, SPI was configured by a board defining MICROPY_HW_ENABLE_SPIx
to 0 or 1. Now, the board should define MICROPY_HW_SPIx_SCK, MISO, MOSI
and NSS. This makes it the same as how I2C is configured.
This is refactoring to enable support for the two USB PHYs available on
some STM32F4 processors to be used at the same time. The F405/7 & F429
have two USB PHYs, others such as the F411 only have one PHY.
This has been tested separately on a pyb10 (USB_FS PHY) and F429DISC
(USB_HS PHY) to be able to invoke a REPL/USB. I have modified a PYBV10
to support two PHYs.
The long term objective is to support a 2nd USB PHY to be brought up as a
USB HOST, and possibly a single USB PHY to be OTG.
Currently nlr_jump_fail prints that there was an uncaught exception
but nothing about the exception.
This patch causes nlr_jump_failed to try to print the exception.
Given that printf was called on the line above, I think that
the call to mp_obj_print_exception has about as much likelyhood
of succeeding as the printf does.
When you use the USER button to perform a filesystem reset
at boot time then it wipes out the filesystem and creates
a new boot.py and main.py. With this patch these files are
executed after formatting, ensuring that pyb and machine modules
get imported.
This is a hack to free up TIM3 so that it can be used by the user.
Instead we use the PVD irq to call the USB VCP polling function, and
trigger it from SysTick (so SysTick itself does not do any processing).
The feature is enabled for pyboard lite only, since it lacks timers.
Consider the following scenario: SD card is being read by pyboard; USB
irq comes in for MSC read request; SD card needs to be read from within
USB irq while SD read is already ongoing. Such contention needs to be
avoided.
This patch provides a simple solution, to raise the irq priority above
that of the USB irq during SD DMA transfers. Pyboard and PC can now
read from the SD card at the same time (well, reads are interleaved).
In non-blocking mode (timeout=0), uart.write() can now transmit all of its
data without raising an exception. uart.read() also works correctly in
this mode.
As part of this patch, timout_char now has a minimum value which is long
enough to transfer 1 character.
Addresses issue #1533.
With these you can now do things like:
stm.mem32[0x20000000] = 0x80000000
and read 32-bit values. You can also read all the way to the end
of memory using either stm.mem32[0xfffffffc] or stm.mem32[-4].
IRQs shouldn't use mem32 at all since they'd fail if the top 2 bits
weren't equal, so IRQs should be using 16-bit I/O.
The STMCube examples define both USE_USB_HS and USE_USB_HS_IN_FS when they
use the HS in FS mode.
The STM32F401 doesn't have a USB_HS at all, so the USB_OTG_HS instance
doesn't even exist.
The UARTs have no FIFOs, so if interrupts are disabled
for more than a character time (10 usec at 1 Mbit/sec)
then characters get dropped.
The overhead for handling a UART ISR is about 0.5 usec,
so even at baud rates of 1 Mbit/sec this only corresponds
to about 5% of the CPU. Lower baud rates will have less
of an impact.
uwTick can only change in the SysTick IRQ so this IRQ function does not
need to take special care with this variable. It's important to make
this IRQ function as efficient as possible.
Using SysTick to do the counting and dispatch of the flash storage idle
handler is more efficient than requiring a dedicated hardware timer.
No new counter is needed, just the existing uwTick variable. The
processing is not actually done in the SysTick IRQ, it is deferred to
the flash IRQ (which runs at lower priority).
Turning on each DMA block increases the current consumption
by about 8 mA. This code adds an idle timer for each DMA
block and turns off the clocks when no streams are in use
for 128 msec. Having a small timeout allows for improved
performance when back-to-back transfers are being performed.
The 128 msec is basically a guess.
- added some comments to explain the priority/sub-priority.
- adds an entry for SDIO (to be used in a later patch)
- increases DMA priority above USB so that DMA can be used
for sdcard I/O when using USB Mass Storage.
If RTC is already running at boot then it's left alone. Otherwise, RTC is
started at boot but startup function returns straight away. RTC startup
is then finished the first time it is used. Fallback to LSI if LSE fails
to start in a certain time.
Also included:
MICROPY_HW_CLK_LAST_FREQ
hold pyb.freq() parameters in RTC backup reg
MICROPY_HW_RTC_USE_US
option to present datetime sub-seconds in microseconds
MICROPY_HW_RTC_USE_CALOUT
option to enable RTC calibration output
CLK_LAST_FREQ and RTC_USE_CALOUT are enabled for PYBv1.0.
In new hardware API, these classes implement master modes of interfaces,
and "mode" parameter is not accepted. Trying to implement new HW API
in terms of older pyb module leaves variuos corner cases:
In new HW API, I2C(1) means "I2C #1 in master mode" (? depends on
interpretation), while in old API, it means "I2C #1, with no settings
changes".
For I2C class, it's easy to make mode optional, because that's last
positional param, but for SPI, there's "baudrate" after it (which
is inconsistent with I2C, which requires "baudrate" to be kwonly-arg).
This makes select.poll() interface fully compatible with CpYthon. Also, make
their numeric values of these options compatible with Linux (and by extension,
with iBCS2 standard, which jopefully means compatibility with other Unices too).
py/mphal.h contains declarations for generic mp_hal_XXX functions, such
as stdio and delay/ticks, which ports should provide definitions for. A
port will also provide mphalport.h with further HAL declarations.
This prevents the loss of RTC time when exiting from standby mode, since
the RTC is paused while it is being re-inited and this loses about 120ms.
Thanks to @chuckbook for the patch.
This file is actually port-generic and should be moved out of stmhal/ .
Other ports already use it, and thus it should use mp_hal_ticks_ms()
right away.
These MPHAL functions are intended to replace previously used HAL_Delay(),
HAL_GetTick() to provide better naming and MPHAL separation (they are
fully equivalent otherwise).
Also, refactor extmod/modlwip to use them.
Scenario: module1 depends on some common file from lib/, so specifies it
in its SRC_MOD, and the same situation with module2, then common file
from lib/ eventually ends up listed twice in $(OBJ), which leads to link
errors.
Make is equipped to deal with such situation easily, quoting the manual:
"The value of $^ omits duplicate prerequisites, while $+ retains them and
preserves their order." So, just use $^ consistently in all link targets.
Instead of return 0, which means EOF. There's no good way to detect EOF on
continuously active bus like UART, and treat timeout as just temporary
unvailability of data. .read() method of UART object will return None in
this case (instead of 0, which again measn EOF). This is fully compliant
with unix port.
This patch allows to configure the DAC resolution in the constructor and
in the init function, eg:
dac = DAC(1, bits=12).
The default resolution is 8 bits for backwards compatibility. The bits
sets the maximum value accepted by write and write_timed methods, being
2**bits - 1.
When using write_timed with 12-bit resolution, the input buffer is
treated as an unsigned half-word array, typecode 'H'.
See PR #1130 for discussion.
Use CTRL-E to enter paste mode. Prompt starts with "===" and accepts
all characters verbatim, echoing them back. Only control characters are
CTRL-C which cancels the input and returns to normal REPL, and CTRL-D
which ends the input and executes it. The input is executed as though
it were a file. The input is not added to the prompt history.
This fix adds PIDs 9801 and 9802 to the pybcdc.inf file.
When in CDC only mode, it presents itself as a Communcations
device rather than as a composite device. Presenting as a
composite device with only the CDC interface seems to confuse
windows.
To test and make sure that the correct pybcdc.inf was being used,
I used USBDeview from http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html
to uninstall any old pyboard drivers (Use Control-F and search
for pyboard). I found running USBDeview as administrator worked best.
Installing the driver in CDC+MSC mode first is recommended (since the
pybcdc.inf file in on the internal flash drive). Then when you switch
modes everything seems to work properly.
I used https://github.com/dhylands/upy-examples/blob/master/boot_switch.py
to easily switch the pyboard between the various USB modes for testing.
With this patch parse nodes are allocated sequentially in chunks. This
reduces fragmentation of the heap and prevents waste at the end of
individually allocated parse nodes.
Saves roughly 20% of RAM during parse stage.
There is an issue sending 1 byte on the SPI bus using DMA, but it only
occurs when the transmit is done for the first time after initialising
the SPI and DMA peripherals. All other cases (sending 2 or more bytes,
doing send_recv, doing recv first) work okay. We sidestep this issue by
using polling (not DMA) for all 1 byte transfers. This is fine because
a 1 byte transfer can't be interrupted and doesn't need the benefits of
DMA (and using polling for this case is more efficient).
Resolves#1456.
