Describe that the only portable way to deal with addresses is by using
getaddrinfo(). Describe that some ports may support tuple addresses using
"socket" module (vs "usocket" of native MicroPython).
This clarifies return values and the handling of invalid (e.g. newline)
characters.
Encoding conforms to RFC 3548, but decoding does not, as it ignores invalid
characters in base64 input. Instead, it conforms to MIME handling of base64
(RFC 2045).
Note that CPython doesn't document handling of invalid characters in
a2b_base64() docs:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/binascii.html#binascii.a2b_base64 , so
we specify it more explicitly than it, based on CPython's actual behavior
(with which MicroPython now compliant).
The old intro talked about "differences", but there were hardly any
sections describing differences, mostly MicroPython specific features.
On the other hand, we now have real "differences" chapter, though it's
mostly concerned with stdlib differences.
So, try to avoid confusion by changing wording and linking to the other
chapters and contrasting them with what is described in "MicroPython
language".
Fixes for stmhal USB mass storage, lwIP bindings and VFS regressions
This release provides an important fix for the USB mass storage device in
the stmhal port by implementing the SCSI SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE command, which
is now require by some Operating Systems. There are also fixes for the
lwIP bindings to improve non-blocking sockets and error codes. The VFS has
some regressions fixed including the ability to statvfs the root.
All changes are listed below.

This adds description of implied AbstractNIC base class, which should be
"subclasses" and implemented by a particular network device class.
This is just an initial step in that direction, the API and description
will be elabotated further.
The list starts with the simplest functionality - GPIO, proceeds to
communication interfaces (UART, SPI, I2C), the to time(r) related
things, then everything else.
For a couple of ports, there was information which directory is set
as current after boot. This information doesn't belong to "uos" module,
and is moved to boards' references (which actually already contained
information on which directory is chosen for boot, even if without
explicit mentioning that it becomes current directory, which is now
done).
This method isn't implemented in any port. It seemed to have originated
in cc3200 port, but actually never was implemented there either. In
general case, it's impossible to implement this method (for example, for
a perfect GPO, which has only output latch without any feedback look
into a CPU).
Both aren't part of generic Hardware API: It's impossible to implement
.id() method in a generic case (e.g., when Pin is instantiated by the
underlying OS/RTOS). .board attribute is an obvious space hog which
instead can be implemented on Python level if needed.
MONO_xxx is much easier to read if you're not familiar with the code.
MVLSB is deprecated but kept for backwards compatibility, for the time
being.
This patch also updates the associated docs and tests.
* Fix mis-spelling of `ticks_add` in code examples.
* Be consistent about parentheses after function names.
* Be consistent about formatting of function, variable and constant names.
* Be consistent about spaces and punctuation.
* Fix some language errors (missing or wrong words, wrong word order).
* Keep line length under 90 chars.

MicroPython guarantees '/' to be a path separator, so extra constant taking
precious ROM space are not needed. MicroPython never had such constant, only
one vendor port had it (now unmaintained).
This new function controls what happens on a hard-fault:
- debugging disabled: board will do a reset
- debugging enabled: board will print registers and stack and flash LEDs
The default is disabled, ie to do a reset. This is different to previous
behaviour which flashed the LEDs and waited indefinitely.
machine.time_pulse_us() is intended to provide very fine timing, including
while working with signal bursts, where each transition is tracked in row.
Throwing and handling an exception may take too much time and "signal loss".
So instead, in case of a timeout, just return negative value. Cases of
timeout while waiting for initial signal stabilization, and during actual
timing, are recognized.
The documentation is updated accordingly, and rewritten somewhat to clarify
the function behavior.
Support for Xtensa emitter and assembler, and upgraded F4 and F7 STM HAL
This release adds support for the Xtensa architecture as a target for the
native emitter, as well as Xtensa inline assembler. The int.from_bytes
and int.to_bytes methods now require a second argument (the byte order)
per CPython (only "little" is supported at this time). The "readall"
method has been removed from all stream classes that used it; "read" with
no arguments should be used instead. There is now support for importing
packages from compiled .mpy files. Test coverage is increased to 96%.
The generic I2C driver has improvements: configurable clock stretching
timeout, "stop" argument added to readfrom/writeto methods, "nack"
argument added to readinto, and write[to] now returns num of ACKs
received. The framebuf module now handles 16-bit depth (generic colour
format) and has hline, vline, rect, line methods. A new utimeq module is
added for efficient queue ordering defined by modulo time (to be
compatible with time.ticks_xxx functions). The pyboard.py script has been
modified so that the target board is not reset between scripts or commands
that are given on a single command line.
For the stmhal port the STM Cube HAL has been upgraded: Cube F4 HAL to
v1.13.1 (CMSIS 2.5.1, HAL v1.5.2) and Cube F7 HAL to v1.1.2. There is a
more robust pyb.I2C implementation (DMA is now disabled by default, can be
enabled via an option), and there is an implementation of machine.I2C with
robust error handling and hardware acceleration on F4 MCUs. It is now
recommended to use machine.I2C instead of pyb.I2C. The UART class is now
more robust with better handling of errors/timeouts. There is also more
accurate VBAT and VREFINT measurements for the ADC. New boards that are
supported include: NUCLEO_F767ZI, STM32F769DISC and NUCLEO_L476RG.
For the esp8266 port select/poll is now supported for sockets using the
uselect module. There is support for native and viper emitters, as well
as an inline assembler (with limited iRAM for storage of native functions,
or the option to store code to flash). There is improved software I2C
with a slight API change: scl/sda pins can be specified as positional only
when "-1" is passed as the first argument to indicate the use of software
I2C. It is recommended to use keyword arguments for scl/sda. There is
very early support for over-the-air (OTA) updates using the yaota8266
project.

New keyword option in constructor and init() method is "dma=<bool>".
DMA is now disabled by default for I2C transfers because it currently does
not handle I2C bus errors very well (eg if slave device doesn't ACK or
NACK correctly during a transfer).
It's mandatory function which should be present in every port. Even if
it's not, in the stdlib intro we waarn users that a particular port can
lack anything of described in the docs.
Clarify the class implements master side of the protocol, also put adhoc
WiPy paramter after the generic, described in the current Hardware API
version.
The memory read/write I2C functions now take an optional keyword-only
parameter that specifies the number of bits in the memory address.
Only mem-addrs that are a multiple of 8-bits are supported (otherwise
the behaviour is undefined).
Due to the integer type used for the address, for values larger than 32
bits, only 32 bits of address will be sent, and the rest will be padded
with 0s. Right now no exception is raised when that happens. For values
smaller than 8, no address is sent. Also no exception then.
Tested with a VL6180 sensor, which has 16-bit register addresses.
Due to code refactoring, this patch reduces stmhal and esp8266 builds
by about 50 bytes.
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 introductions makes explicit the fact that whenever possible,
the documentation describes full MicroPython functionality, and arbitrary
functions/classes/modules may be missing in a paricular port or build.
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.
Even the modules whose names don't start with "u" prefix are micro-ified
anyway, i.e. provide only subset of CPython's functionality (and sometimes
extensions to it). So, it doesn't make much sense to devide them by
criteria of having/not having "u" prefix.
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.
Key is always entered as a string, but if security is WEP, the key
is converted automatically to hex before connecting or configuring
the device as an AP.
Changes are based on this post:

The constructor can optionally take the same params of iwconfig in
order to configure WiFi when creating the object. Params are
keyworkd only. The WiPy accepts:
- mode (int -> WLAN.AP or WLAN.STA)
- ssdi (string)
- security (int -> WLAN.OPEN, WLAN.WEP, WLAN.WPA, WLAN.WPA2)
- key (string)
- channel (int (1-11))
- antenna (int -> WLAN.INTERNAL, WLAN.EXTERNAL)
This is how the names will be printed on the sticker that goes on top
of the EMI shield. The shorter names also help saving a few bytes of
RAM and ROM.
This allows the DAC to use a user-specified Timer for the triggering
(instead of the default Timer(6)), while still supporting original
behaviour.
Addresses issues #1129 and #1388.
I document as much as I could guess from experiments and reading the
code for the ``esp`` module for the ESP8266 port of Micropython.
For now the tag has to be set manually with -t option when building,
when we have properly split documentation, there will be a separate
config file for esp8266 with that the tag "port_esp8266" set.
To build use:
make SPHINXOPTS="-t port_esp8266" html
