It is split into 2 functions, one to make small ints and the other to make
a non-small-int leaf node. This reduces code size by 32 bytes on
bare-arm, 64 bytes on unix (x64-64) and 144 bytes on stmhal.
Per the latest HW API, "SPI" class implements only master side of the
protocol, so mode=SPI.MASTER (which was static for WiPy anyway) is not
required (or allowed). This change is required to correspond to updated
documentation of machine.SPI class which no longer lists "mode".
This includes StopIteration and thus are important to make Python-coded
iterables work with yield from/await.
Exceptions in Python send() are still not handled and left for future
consideration and optimization.
ESP8266 port uses SDK 2.0, has more heap, has support for 512k devices
This release brings some code size reductions to the core as well as
more tests and improved coverage which is now at 94.3%.
The time.ticks_diff(a, b) function has changed: the order of the arguments
has been swapped so that it behaves like "a - b", and it can now return a
negative number if "a" came before "b" (modulo the period of the ticks
functions).
For the ESP8266 port the Espressif SDK has been updated to 2.0.0, the
heap has been increased from 28k to 36k, and there is support for 512k
devices via "make 512k". upip is included by default as frozen bytecode.
The network module now allows access-point reconnection without WiFi
credentials, and exposes configuration for the station DHCP hostname. The
DS18B20 driver now handles negative temperatures, and NeoPixel and APA102
drivers handle 4 bytes-per-pixel LEDs.
For the CC3200 port there is now support for loading of precompiled .mpy
files and threading now works properly with interrupts.

We allow 'exc.__traceback__ = None' assignment as a low-level optimization
of pre-allocating exception instance and raising it repeatedly - this
avoids memory allocation during raise. However, uPy will keep adding
traceback entries to such exception instance, so before throwing it,
traceback should be cleared like above.
'exc.__traceback__ = None' syntax is CPython compatible. However, unlike
it, reading that attribute or setting it to any other value is not
supported (and not intended to be supported, again, the only reason for
adding this feature is to allow zero-memalloc exception raising).
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.
As required for further elaboration of uasyncio, like supporting baremetal
systems with wraparound timesources. This is not intended to be public
interface, and likely will be further refactored in the future.
If an I2C send/recv fails then the peripheral is now checked to see if
it's in a "stuck" state waiting for the stop bit, and if so then it is
reset so that the next I2C transaction can proceed.
This patch also de-inits the I2C peripheral in the init() method, before
init'ing it again.
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).
The DMA state is always HAL_DMA_STATE_RESET because of the memset clearing
all the data, so prior to this patch HAL_DMA_DeInit was never called. Now
it is always called to make sure the DMA is properly reset.
The ESP SDK supports configuring the hostname that is
reported when doing a DHCP request in station mode. This commit
exposes that under network.WLAN(network.STA_IF).config('dhcp_hostname')
as a read/write value similar to other parameters.
With this patch one can now do "make FROZEN_MPY_DIR=../../frozen" to
specify a directory containing scripts to be frozen (as well as absolute
paths).
The compiled .mpy files are now stored in $(BUILD)/frozen_mpy/.
Now, to use frozen bytecode all a port needs to do is define
FROZEN_MPY_DIR to the directory containing the .py files to freeze, and
define MICROPY_MODULE_FROZEN_MPY and MICROPY_QSTR_EXTRA_POOL.
Previously, it was included only in release builds, but it's important
tool which should be always at the fingertips to be useful (and to
pump up its usage).
To make its inclusion as frozen modules in multiple ports less magic.
Ports are just expected to symlink 2 files into their scripts/modules
subdirs.
Unix port updated to use this and in general follow frozen modules setup
tested and tried on baremetal ports, where there's "scripts" predefined
dir (overridable with FROZEN_DIR make var), and a user just drops Python
files there.
At the WS2812 driver level, a 400ns value was used for T0H (time high to
send a 0 bit) but LED specification says it should be 350ns +- 150ns.
Due to loop overhead the 400ns value could lead to T0H close to 500ns
which is too close from the limit value and gave glitches (bad data to
pixels) in some cases. This patch makes the calculated T0H value 350ns.
Previously they used historical "pyb" affix causing confusion and
inconsistency (there's no "pyb" module in modern ports; but people
took esp8266 port as an example, and "pyb" naming kept proliferating,
while other people complained that source structure is not clear).
