Tested & working:
* Send standard packets
* Receive standard packets (1 FIFO, no filter)
Interoperation between SAM E54 Xplained running this tree and
MicroPython running on STM32F405 Feather with an external
transceiver was also tested.
Many other aspects of a full implementation are not yet present,
such as error detection and recovery.
Discord user Folknology encountered a problem building with Python 3.6.9,
`TypeError: ord() expected a character, but string of length 0 found`.
I was able to reproduce the problem using Python3.5*, and discovered that
the meaning of the regular expression `"|."` had changed in 3.7. Before,
```
>>> [m.group(0) for m in re.finditer("|.", "hello")]
['', '', '', '', '', '']
```
After:
```
>>> [m.group(0) for m in re.finditer("|.", "hello")]
['', 'h', '', 'e', '', 'l', '', 'l', '', 'o', '']
```
Check if `words` is empty and if so use `"."` as the regular expression
instead. This gives the same result on both versions:
```
['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o']
```
and fixes the generation of the huffman dictionary.
Folknology verified that this fix worked for them.
* I could easily install 3.5 but not 3.6. 3.5 reproduced the same problem
This construct (which I added without sufficient testing,
apparently) is only supported in Python 3.7 and newer. Make it
optional so that this script works on other Python versions. This
means that if you have a system with non-UTF-8 encoding you will
need to use Python 3.7.
In particular, this affects a problem building circuitpython in
github's ubuntu-18.04 virtual environment when Python 3.7 is not
explicitly installed. cookie-cuttered libraries call for Python
3.6:
```
- name: Set up Python 3.6
uses: actions/setup-python@v1
with:
python-version: 3.6
```
Since CircuitPython's own build calls for 3.8, this problem was not
detected.
This problem was also encountered by discord user mdroberts1243.
The failure I encountered was here:
https://github.com/jepler/Jepler_CircuitPython_udecimal/runs/1138045020?check_suite_focus=true
.. while my step of "clone and build circuitpython unix port" is
unusual, I think the same problem would have affected "build assets"
if that step had been reached.
Despite the [silk on the dock board](https://wiki.makerdiary.com/nrf52840-m2-devkit/resources/nrf52840_m2_devkit_hw_diagram_v1_0.pdf), the SDA/SCL pins weren't defined. Though, they were already defined in `mpconfigboard.h`.
Same for RX/TX. It looks like it declared `TXD` and `RXD`, so I didn't want to remove those, but I think it makes sense to have the "standard" pin names, but I moved ithem to illustrate they were all referencing the same pins.
I mimicked the whitespace I saw in the metro_nrf52840_express port.
These changes remove the caveat from supervisor.runtime.serial_connected.
It appears that _tud_cdc_connected() only tracks explicit changes to the
"DTR" bit, which leads to disconnects not being registered.
Instead:
* when line state is changed explicitly, track the dtr value in
_serial_connected
* when the USB bus is suspended, set _serial_connected to False
Testing performed (using sam e54 xplained): Run a program to show
the state of `serial_connected` on the LED:
```
import digitalio
import supervisor
import board
led = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.LED)
while True:
led.switch_to_output(not supervisor.runtime.serial_connected)
```
Try all the following:
* open, close serial terminal program
- LED status tracks whether terminal is open
* turn on/off data lines using the switchable charge-only cable
- LED turns off when switch is in "charger" position
- LED turns back on when switch is in Data position and terminal is
opened (but doesn't turn back on just because switch position is
changed)
I recently misdiagnosed a "maybe-uninitialized" diagnostic as a bug in
asf4. However, the problem was in our SPI code.
A special case for samr21 MCUs was being applied to same54p20a and possibly
other D5x/E5x MCUs, since the check was simply for pin PC19 existing at all.
Change the check to use the macro PIN_PC19F_SERCOM4_PAD0 which is only
defined if special function F of pin PC19 is SERCOM4 PAD0.
Reorganize the code a little bit so that brace-matching in editors is
not confused by the conditionalized code, including an unrelated change
for APA102_SCK's condition.
Revert the change to the Makefile that incorrectly attempted to silence
the diagnostic.
