Apparently there is a CircuitPython Guide for ItsyBitsy M0 too...
It just contain "kattni' in the name and I don't know if this is finished and similar to the other guide.
We now track the last time the background task ran and bail on the
PulseIn if it starves the background work. In practice, this
happens after the numbers from pulsein are no longer accurate.
This also adjusts interrupt priorities so most are the lowest level
except for the tick and USB interrupts.
Fixes#516 and #876
The ST DFU bootloader supports a transfer size up to 2048 bytes, so send
that much data on each download (to device) packet. This almost halves
total download time.
The DFU USB config descriptor returns 0x0800=2048 for the supported
transfer size, and this applies to both TX (IN) and RX (OUT). So increase
the rx_buf to support this size without having a buffer overflow on
received data.
With this patch mboot in USB DFU mode now works with dfu-util.
Currently <WLAN>.isconnected() always returns True if a static IP is set,
regardless of the state of the connection.
This patch introduces a new flag 'wifi_sta_connected' which is set in
event_handler() when GOT_IP event is received and reset when DISCONNECTED
event is received (unless re-connect is successful). isconnected() now
simply returns the status of this flag (for STA_IF).
The pre-existing flag misleadingly named 'wifi_sta_connected" is also
renamed to 'wifi_sta_connect_requested'.
Fixes issue #3837
For i2c.py: the accelerometer now uses the new I2C driver so need to
explicitly init the legacy i2c object to get the test working.
For pyb1.py: the legacy pyb.hid() call will crash if the USB_HID object is
not initialised.
MICROPY_PY_DELATTR_SETATTR can now be enabled without a performance hit for
classes that don't use this feature.
MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_NOTIMPLEMENTED is a minor addition that improves
compatibility with CPython.
They are now efficient (in runtime performance) and provide a useful
feature that's hard to obtain without them enabled.
See issue #3644 and PR #3826 for background.
This patch is a code optimisation, trading text bytes for speed. On
pyboard it's an increase of 0.06% in code size for a gain (in pystone
performance) of roughly 6.5%.
The patch optimises load/store/delete of attributes in user defined classes
by not looking up special accessors (@property, __get__, __delete__,
__set__, __setattr__ and __getattr_) if they are guaranteed not to exist in
the class.
Currently, if you do my_obj.foo() then the runtime has to do a few checks
to see if foo is a property or has __get__, and if so delegate the call.
And for stores things like my_obj.foo = 1 has to first check if foo is a
property or has __set__ defined on it.
Doing all those checks each and every time the attribute is accessed has a
performance penalty. This patch eliminates all those checks for cases when
it's guaranteed that the checks will always fail, ie no attributes are
properties nor have any special accessor methods defined on them.
To make this guarantee it checks all attributes of a user-defined class
when it is first created. If any of the attributes of the user class are
properties or have special accessors, or any of the base classes of the
user class have them, then it sets a flag in the class to indicate that
special accessors must be checked for. Then in the load/store/delete code
it checks this flag to see if it can take the shortcut and optimise the
lookup.
It's an optimisation that's pretty widely applicable because it improves
lookup performance for all methods of user defined classes, and stores of
attributes, at least for those that don't have special accessors. And, it
allows to enable descriptors with minimal additional runtime overhead if
they are not used for a particular user class.
There is one restriction on dynamic class creation that has been introduced
by this patch: a user-defined class cannot go from zero special accessors
to one special accessor (or more) after that class has been subclassed. If
the script attempts this an AttributeError is raised (see addition to
tests/misc/non_compliant.py for an example of this case).
The cost in code space bytes for the optimisation in this patch is:
unix x64: +528
unix nanbox: +508
stm32: +192
cc3200: +200
esp8266: +332
esp32: +244
Performance tests that were done:
- on unix x86-64, pystone improved by about 5%
- on pyboard, pystone improved by about 6.5%, from 1683 up to 1794
- on pyboard, bm_chaos (from CPython benchmark suite) improved by about 5%
- on esp32, pystone improved by about 30% (but there are caching effects)
- on esp32, bm_chaos improved by about 11%
.. this reduces stack usage in main() substantially, because
the 512 byte stack allocation will only exist during the new run_boot_py
function's duration.
Closes: #904
Coveralls requires a "recent" version of urllib3, whereas requests requires
a "not so recent" version, less than 1.23. So force urllib3 v1.22 to get
it all working.
