PacketBuffer facilitates packet oriented BLE protocols such as BLE
MIDI and the Apple Media Service.
This also adds PHY, MTU and connection event extension negotiation
to speed up data transfer when possible.
This allows the board to disable the onboard speaker until explicitly
enabled in user code.
Testing performed on a CPB:
* Touching the AUDIO pin with a fingertip no longer generates noise/buzz
* Generating a waveform with `simpleio.tone` produces no sound by default
* When the board.SPEAKER_ENABLE is configured as a digital output and
set True, `simpleio.tone` does produce sound
Note that while guides should include information about SPEAKER_ENABLE, it's
possible that some users who omitted it could view this as a breaking change.
They can fix it by simply adding code similar to
speaker_enable = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.SPEAKER_ENABLE)
speaker_enable.direction = digitalio.Direction.OUTPUT
speaker_enable.value = True
before using the internal speaker.
Closes: #2258
This PR refines the _bleio API. It was originally motivated by
the addition of a new CircuitPython service that enables reading
and modifying files on the device. Moving the BLE lifecycle outside
of the VM motivated a number of changes to remove heap allocations
in some APIs.
It also motivated unifying connection initiation to the Adapter class
rather than the Central and Peripheral classes which have been removed.
Adapter now handles the GAP portion of BLE including advertising, which
has moved but is largely unchanged, and scanning, which has been enhanced
to return an iterator of filtered results.
Once a connection is created (either by us (aka Central) or a remote
device (aka Peripheral)) it is represented by a new Connection class.
This class knows the current connection state and can discover and
instantiate remote Services along with their Characteristics and
Descriptors.
Relates to #586
This patch add basic building blocks for nrf9P60.
It also includes a secure bootloader which forwards all
possible peripherals that are user selectable to become
non-secure. After configuring Flash, RAM and peripherals
the secure bootloader will jump to the non-secure domain
where MicroPython is placed.
The minimum size of a secure boot has to be a flash
block of 32Kb, hence why the linker scripts are
offsetting the main application this much.
The RAM offset is set to 128K, to allow for later
integration of Nordic Semiconductor's BSD socket
library which reserves the range 0x20010000 - 0x2001FFFF.
Add support for pca10059 with REPL over tinyusb USB CDC.
The board also includes a board specific module that will
recover UICR->REGOUT0 in case this has been erased.
This initial support does not preserve any existing bootloader
on the pca10090 in case this was present, and expects to use all
available flash on the device.
It was previously not taking into account that the list of pins was sparse,
so using the wrong index. The boards/X/pins.csv was generating the wrong
data for machine.Pin.board.
As part of this fix rename the variables to make it more clear what the
list contains (only board pins).
