Refactors the zephyr build infrastructure to build MicroPython as a
cmake target, using the recently introduced core cmake rules.
This change makes it possible to build the zephyr port like most other
zephyr applications using west or cmake directly. It simplifies building
with extra cmake arguments, such as specifying an alternate conf file or
adding an Arduino shield. It also enables building the zephyr port
anywhere in the host file system, which will allow regressing across
multiple boards with the zephyr twister script.

Prior to this commit, pyboard.py used eval() to "parse" file data received
from the board. Using eval() on received data from a device is dangerous,
because a malicious device may inject arbitrary code execution on the PC
that is doing the operation.
Consider the following scenario:
Eve may write a malicious script to Bob's board in his absence. On return
Bob notices that something is wrong with the board, because it doesn't work
as expected anymore. He wants to read out boot.py (or any other file) to
see what is wrong. What he gets is a remote code execution on his PC.
Proof of concept:
Eve:
$ cat boot.py
_print = print
print = lambda *x, **y: _print("os.system('ls /; echo Pwned!')", end="\r\n\x04")
$ ./pyboard.py -f cp boot.py :
cp boot.py :boot.py
Bob:
$ ./pyboard.py -f cp :boot.py /tmp/foo
cp :boot.py /tmp/foo
bin chroot dev home lib32 media opt root sbin sys usr
boot config etc lib lib64 mnt proc run srv tmp var
Pwned!
There's also the possibility that the device is malfunctioning and sends
random and possibly dangerous data back to the PC, to be eval'd.
Fix this problem by using ast.literal_eval() to parse the received bytes,
instead of eval().

This adds a new command line option `-v` to `tools/codeformat.py` to enable
verbose printing of all files that are scanned.
Normally `uncrustify` and `black` are called with the `-q` option so
setting verbose suppresses the `-q` option and on `black` also enables the
`-v` option which makes it print out all file names matching the filter
similar to how `uncrustify` does by default.
This suppresses the Parsing: <file> as language C lines. This makes
parsing run a bit faster and on CI it makes for less scrolling through logs
(and black already uses the -q option).
Note: the uncrustify configuration is explicitly set to 'add' instead of
'force' in order not to alter the comments which use extra spaces after //
as a means of indenting text for clarity.
The HID descriptor reported by circuitpython erroneously limited the

The decompression of error-strings is only done if the string is accessed

This adds the Python files in the tests/ directory to be formatted with
./tools/codeformat.py. The basics/ subdirectory is excluded for now so we

In a few places `# fmt: off`/`# fmt: on` was used where the code had
special formatting for readability or where the test was actually testing
the specific formatting.
This eliminates the need for the sizeof regex fixup by rearranging things a
bit. All other bitfields already use the parentheses around expressions
with sizeof, so one case is fixed by following this convention.
VM_MAX_STATE_ON_STACK is the only remaining problem and it can be worked

This commit adds a tool, codeformat.py, which will reformat C and Python
code to fit a certain style. By default the tool will reformat (almost)
all the original (ie not 3rd-party) .c, .h and .py files in this
repository. Passing filenames on the command-line to codeformat.py will
reformat only those. Reformatting is done in-place.
uncrustify is used for C reformatting, which is available for many
platforms and can be easily built from source, see
https://github.com/uncrustify/uncrustify. The configuration for uncrustify
is also added in this commit and values are chosen to best match the
existing code style. A small post-processing stage on .c and .h files is
done by codeformat.py (after running uncrustify) to fix up some minor
items:
- space inserted after * when used as multiplication with sizeof
- #if/ifdef/ifndef/elif/else/endif are dedented by one level when they are
configuring if-blocks and case-blocks.
For Python code, the formatter used is black, which can be pip-installed;
see https://github.com/psf/black. The defaults are used, except for line-
length which is set at 99 characters to match the "about 100" line-length
limit used in C code.
The formatting tools used and their configuration were chosen to strike a
balance between keeping existing style and not changing too many lines of
code, and enforcing a relatively strict style (especially for Python code).
This should help to keep the code consistent across everything, and reduce
cognitive load when writing new code to match the style.
This option makes pyboard.py exit as soon as the script/command is

It was intended that the `f.load_glyphs` line was fast and did most of

Additionally, a little light layer violation is needed to make the check
for missing characters fast. This used to be less important, as no
fonts had missing characters. However, it would take an appreciable

This patch allows executing .mpy files (including native ones) directly on
a target, eg a board over a serial connection. So there's no need to copy
the file to its filesystem to test it.
For example:
$ mpy-cross foo.py
$ pyboard.py foo.mpy
This makes the loading of viper-code-with-relocations a bit neater and
easier to understand, by treating the rodata/bss like a special object to
be loaded into the constant table (which is how it behaves).
We don't want to add a feature flag to .mpy files that indicate float
support because it will get complex and difficult to use. Instead the .mpy
is built using whatever precision it chooses (float or double) and the
native glue API will convert between this choice and what the host runtime
actually uses.
This commit adds a new tool called mpy_ld.py which is essentially a linker
that builds .mpy files directly from .o files. A new header file
(dynruntime.h) and makefile fragment (dynruntime.mk) are also included
which allow building .mpy files from C source code. Such .mpy files can
then be dynamically imported as though they were a normal Python module,
even though they are implemented in C.
Converting .o files directly (rather than pre-linked .elf files) allows the
resulting .mpy to be more efficient because it has more control over the
relocations; for example it can skip PLT indirection. Doing it this way
also allows supporting more architectures, such as Xtensa which has
specific needs for position-independent code and the GOT.
The tool supports targets of x86, x86-64, ARM Thumb and Xtensa (windowed
and non-windowed). BSS, text and rodata sections are supported, with
relocations to all internal sections and symbols, as well as relocations to
some external symbols (defined by dynruntime.h), and linking of qstrs.
Usage:
mpy-tool.py -o merged.mpy --merge mod1.mpy mod2.mpy
The constituent .mpy files are executed sequentially when the merged file
is imported, and they all use the same global namespace.
In cases where more than one board is connected to a single computer it can become pretty hard to figure out which board you're actually talking to. For example, if you have several MIDI-compatible boards they all show up as "CircuitPython MIDI". This change allows boards to replace the "CircuitPython" part of their USB descriptors with more specific text, for example, "CircuitPython Feather" or just "Feather". This will let folks more easily tell boards apart.
The new option is named `USB_INTERFACE_NAME` and is available in `mkconfigboard.mk`. For example:
```
USB_INTERFACE_NAME = "Feather"
```
While the new manifest.py style got introduced for freezing python code
into the resulting binary, the old way - where files and modules within
ports/*/modules where baked into the resulting binary - was still
supported via `freeze('$(PORT_DIR)/modules')` within manifest.py.
However behaviour changed for symlinked directories (=modules), as those
links weren't followed anymore.
This commit restores the original behaviour by explicitly following
symlinks within a modules/ directory
When loading a manifest file, e.g. by include(), it will chdir first to the
directory of that manifest. This means that all file operations within a
manifest are relative to that manifest's location.
As a consequence of this, additional environment variables are needed to
find absolute paths, so the following are added: $(MPY_LIB_DIR),
$(PORT_DIR), $(BOARD_DIR). And rename $(MPY) to $(MPY_DIR) to be
consistent.
Existing manifests are updated to match.
This introduces a new build variable FROZEN_MANIFEST which can be set to a
manifest listing (written in Python) that describes the set of files to be
frozen in to the firmware.
Instead of encoding 4 zero bytes as placeholders for the simple_name and
source_file qstrs, and storing the qstrs after the bytecode, store the
qstrs at the location of these 4 bytes. This saves 4 bytes per bytecode
function stored in a .mpy file (for example lcd160cr.mpy drops by 232
bytes, 4x 58 functions). And resulting code size is slightly reduced on
ports that use this feature.
This patch compresses the second part of the bytecode prelude which
contains the source file name, function name, source-line-number mapping
and cell closure information. This part of the prelude now begins with a
single varible length unsigned integer which encodes 2 numbers, being the
byte-size of the following 2 sections in the header: the "source info
section" and the "closure section". After decoding this variable unsigned
integer it's possible to skip over one or both of these sections very
easily.
This scheme saves about 2 bytes for most functions compared to the original
format: one in the case that there are no closure cells, and one because
padding was eliminated.
The start of the bytecode prelude contains 6 numbers telling the amount of
stack needed for the Python values and exceptions, and the signature of the
function. Prior to this patch these numbers were all encoded one after the
other (2x variable unsigned integers, then 4x bytes), but using so many
bytes is unnecessary.
An entropy analysis of around 150,000 bytecode functions from the CPython
standard library showed that the optimal Shannon coding would need about
7.1 bits on average to encode these 6 numbers, compared to the existing 48
bits.
This patch attempts to get close to this optimal value by packing the 6
numbers into a single, varible-length unsigned integer via bit-wise
interleaving. The interleaving scheme is chosen to minimise the average
number of bytes needed, and at the same time keep the scheme simple enough
so it can be implemented without too much overhead in code size or speed.
The scheme requires about 10.5 bits on average to store the 6 numbers.
As a result most functions which originally took 6 bytes to encode these 6
numbers now need only 1 byte (in 80% of cases).
Prior to this patch mp_opcode_format would calculate the incorrect size of
the MP_BC_UNWIND_JUMP opcode, missing the additional byte. But, because
opcodes below 0x10 are unused and treated as bytes in the .mpy load/save
and freezing code, this bug did not show any symptoms, since nested unwind
jumps would rarely (if ever) reach a depth of 16 (so the extra byte of this
opcode would be between 0x01 and 0x0f and be correctly loaded/saved/frozen
simply as an undefined opcode).
This patch fixes this bug by correctly accounting for the additional byte.

This fixes the bug that bitmap changes do not cause screen updates
and optimizes the refresh when the bitmap is simply shown on the
screen. If the bitmap is used in tiles, then changing it will
cause all TileGrids using it to do a full refresh.
Fixes#1981
Instead of iterating over all the glyphs and calculating the maximum
width and height, use the FONTBOUNDINGBOX to determine the size of a
tile for terminalio.
This works better with fonts such as generated by FontForge, that don't
include the empty space in the glyph bitmap itself. It also lets the
font author specify vertical spacing they want.
I only tested this with the default font and with one I generated with
FontForge.
Different operations to the display tree have different costs. Be
aware of these costs when optimizing your code.
* Changing tiles indices in a TileGrid will update an area
covering them all.
* Changing a palette will refresh every object that references it.
* Moving a TileGrid will update both where it was and where it moved to.
* Adding something to a Group will refresh each individual area it
covers.
* Removing things from a Group will refresh one area that covers all
previous locations. (Not separate areas like add.)
* Setting a new top level Group will refresh the entire display.
Only TileGrid moves are optimized for overlap. All other overlaps
cause sending of duplicate pixels.
This also adds flip_x, flip_y and transpose_xy to TileGrid. They
change the direction of the pixels but not the location.
Fixes#1169. Fixes#1705. Fixes#1923.
Previously, when linking qstr objects in native code for ARM Thumb, the
index into the machine code was being incremented by 4, not 8. It should
be 8 to account for the size of the two machine instructions movw and movt.
This patch makes sure the index into the machine code is incremented by the
correct amount for all variations of qstr linking.
See issue #4829.
Fixes errors in the tool when 1) linking qstrs in native ARM-M code; 2)
freezing multiple files some of which use native code and some which don't.
Fixes issue #4829.
This changes the displayio pixel computation from per-pixel to
per-area. This is precursor work to updating portions of the screen
(#1169). It should provide mild speedups because bounds checks are
done once per area rather than once per pixel. Filling by area also
allows TileGrid to maintain a row-associative fill pattern even when
the display's refresh is orthogonal to it.
The user can now select their own package index by either passing the "-i"
command line option, or setting the upip.index_urls variable (before doing
an install).
The https://micropython.org/pi package index hosts packages from
micropython-lib and will be searched first when installing a package. If a
package is not found here then it will fallback to PyPI.
Prior to this patch, when a lot of data was output by a running script
pyboard.py would try to capture all of this output into the "data"
variable, which would gradually slow down pyboard.py to the point where it
would have large CPU and memory usage (on the host) and potentially lose
data.
This patch fixes this problem by not accumulating the data in the case that
the data is not needed, which is when "data_consumer" is used.
The qstr window size is not log-2 encoded, it's just the actual number (but
in mpy-tool.py this didn't lead to an error because the size is just used
to truncate the window so it doesn't grow arbitrarily large in memory).
Addresses issue #4635.
This system makes it a lot easier to include external libraries as static,
native modules in MicroPython. Simply pass USER_C_MODULES (like
FROZEN_MPY_DIR) as a make parameter.
When encoded in the mpy file, if qstr <= QSTR_LAST_STATIC then store two
bytes: 0, static_qstr_id. Otherwise encode the qstr as usual (either with
string data or a reference into the qstr window).
Reduces mpy file size by about 5%.
Instead of emitting two bytes in the bytecode for where the linked qstr
should be written to, it is now replaced by the actual qstr data, or a
reference into the qstr window.
Reduces mpy file size by about 10%.
This is an implementation of a sliding qstr window used to reduce the
number of qstrs stored in a .mpy file. The window size is configured to 32
entries which takes a fixed 64 bytes (16-bits each) on the C stack when
loading/saving a .mpy file. It allows to remember the most recent 32 qstrs
so they don't need to be stored again in the .mpy file. The qstr window
uses a simple least-recently-used mechanism to discard the least recently
used qstr when the window overflows (similar to dictionary compression).
This scheme only needs a single pass to save/load the .mpy file.
Reduces mpy file size by about 25% with a window size of 32.
POP_BLOCK and POP_EXCEPT are now the same, and are always followed by a
JUMP. So this optimisation reduces code size, and RAM usage of bytecode by
two bytes for each try-except handler.
This changes a number of things in displayio:
* Introduces BuiltinFont and Glyph so the built in font can be used by libraries. For boards with
a font it is available as board.TERMINAL_FONT. Fixes#1172
* Remove _load_row from Bitmap in favor of bitmap[] access. Index can be x/y tuple or overall index. Fixes#1191
* Add width and height properties to Bitmap.
* Add insert and [] access to Group. Fixes#1518
* Add index param to pop on Group.
* Terminal no longer takes unicode character info. It takes a BuiltinFont instead.
* Fix Terminal's handling of [###D vt100 commands used when up arrowing into repl history.
* Add x and y positions to Group plus scale as well.
* Add bitmap accessor for BuiltinFont
Under python3 (tested with 3.6.7) bytes with a list of integers as an
argument returns a different result than under python 2.7 (tested with
2.7.15rc1) which causes pydfu.py to fail when run under 2.7. Changing
bytes to bytearray makes pydfu work properly under both Python 2.7 and
Python 3.6.
If you happen to only have a really simple frozen file that doesn't contain
any new qstrs then the generated frozen_mpy.c file contains an empty
enumeration which causes a C compile time error.
Following an equivalent fix to py/bc.c. The reason the incorrect values
for the opcode constants were not previously causing a bug is because they
were never being used: these opcodes always have qstr arguments so the part
of the code that was comparing them would never be reached.
Thanks to @malinah for finding the problem and providing the initial patch.
A DFU device must be in the idle state before it can be programmed, and
this requires either clearing the status or aborting, depending on its
current state. Code is added to do this. And the USB transfer size is now
automatically detected so devices with a size less than 2048 bytes work
correctly.
This started while adding USB MIDI support (and descriptor support is
in this change.) When seeing that I'd have to implement the MIDI class
logic twice, once for atmel-samd and once for nrf, I decided to refactor
the USB stack so its shared across ports. This has led to a number of
changes that remove items from the ports folder and move them into
supervisor.
Furthermore, we had external SPI flash support for nrf pending so I
factored out the connection between the usb stack and the flash API as
well. This PR also includes the QSPI support for nRF.
Some Python linters don't like unconditional except clauses because they

There appears to be an issue on Windows with CPython >= 3.6,
sys.stdout.flush() raises an exception:
OSError: [WinError 87] The parameter is incorrect
It works fine to just catch and ignore the error on the flush line. Tested
on Windows 10 x64 1803 (Build 17134.228), Python 3.6.4 amd64.
This saves code space in builds which use link-time optimization.
The optimization drops the untranslated strings and replaces them
with a compressed_string_t struct. It can then be decompressed to
a c string.
Builds without LTO work as well but include both untranslated
strings and compressed strings.
This work could be expanded to include QSTRs and loaded strings if
a compress method is added to C. Its tracked in #531.
The Python documentation recommends to pass the command as a string when
using Popen(..., shell=True). This is because "sh -c <string>" is used to
execute the command and additional arguments after the command string are
passed to the shell itself (not the executing command).

The first dynamic qstr pool is double the size of the 'alloc' field of
the last const qstr pool. The built in const qstr pool
(mp_qstr_const_pool) has a hardcoded alloc size of 10, meaning that the
first dynamic pool is allocated space for 20 entries. The alloc size
must be less than or equal to the actual number of qstrs in the pool
(the 'len' field) to ensure that the first dynamically created qstr
triggers the creation of a new pool.
When modules are frozen a second const pool is created (generally
mp_qstr_frozen_const_pool) and linked to the built in pool. However,
this second const pool had its 'alloc' field set to the number of qstrs
in the pool. When freezing a large quantity of modules this can result
in thousands of qstrs being in the pool. This means that the first
dynamically created qstr results in a massive allocation. This commit
sets the alloc size of the frozen qstr pool to 10 or less (if the number
of qstrs in the pool is less than 10). The result of this is that the
allocation behaviour when a dynamic qstr is created is identical with an
without frozen code.
Note that there is the potential for a slight memory inefficiency if the
frozen modules have less than 10 qstrs, as the first few dynamic
allocations will have quite a large overhead, but the geometric growth
soon deals with this.
