The interrupt may have a higher priority than the serial output's
(USB) interrupt and may never make room. This makes prints from
interrupts (like the BLE event calls) best effort for what can be
queued up. The rest of the output will be dropped.
This allows the compiler to merge strings: e.g. "update",
"difference_update" and "symmetric_difference_update"
will all point to the same memory.
Shaves ~1KB off the image size, and potentially allows
bigger savings if qstr attrs are initialized in qstr_init(),
and not stored in the image.
This manifested as incorrect error messages from mpy-cross, like
```
$ mpy-cross doesnotexist.py
OSError: [Errno 2] cno such file/director
```
The remaining bits in `b` must be shifted to the correct position before
entering the loop.
For most (all?) actual builds, compress_max_length_bits was 8 and the
problem went unnoticed.
This switches stage2 to C and uses Jinja to change the C code based
on flash settings from https://github.com/adafruit/nvm.toml. It
produces the fastest settings for the given set of external flashes.
Flash size is no longer hard coded so switching flashes with similar
capabilities but different sizes should *just work*.
This PR also places "ITCM" code in RAM to save the XIP cache for
code execution. Further optimization is possible. A blink code.py
still requires a number of flash fetches every blink.
Fixes#4041
Instead of counting words in make, which is slightly awful, notice that
possible_devices is local to external_flash.c, so we can declare the array
with an automatic bound, and then get the count as the element-count
(MP_ARRAY_SIZE) of the array.
Since EXTERNAL_FLASH_DEVICE_COUNT is no longer a global macro, switch
a few sites to using EXTERNAL_FLASH_DEVICES in `#if` checks instead.
This adds some additional code in mkfs which doesn't seem necessary, and
Disabling it saves 172 bytes flash.
Testing performed: Using a Feather M0 Adalogger, checked that
* an sdcard could still be mounted (using adafruit_sdcard)
* os.listdir() of "/" and "/sd" worked
* CIRCUITPY still mounted
This is a first go at it, done by naive replacing of all array
operations with corresponding operations on the list. Note that
there is a lot of unnecessary type conversions, here. Also, list_pop
has been copied, because it's decalerd STATIC in py/objlist.h
Since we want to expose the list of group's children to the user,
we should only have the original objects in it, without any other
additional data, and compute the native object as needed.
This saves about 60 bytes (Feather M4 went from 45040 -> 45100 bytes free)
66 bytes of data eliminated, but 6 bytes paid back to initialize the length
field.
The RP2040 is new microcontroller from Raspberry Pi that features
two Cortex M0s and eight PIO state machines that are good for
crunching lots of data. It has 264k RAM and a built in UF2
bootloader too.

Some ports need an extra operation to ensure that the main task is
awoken so that a queued background task will execute during an ongoing
light sleep.
This removes the need to enable supervisor ticks while I2SOut is operating.
Closes: #3952
This changes lots of files to unify `board.h` across ports. It adds
`board_deinit` when CIRCUITPY_ALARM is set. `main.c` uses it to
deinit the board before deep sleeping (even when pretending.)
Deep sleep is now a two step process for the port. First, the
port should prepare to deep sleep based on the given alarms. It
should set alarms for both deep and pretend sleep. In particular,
the pretend versions should be set immediately so that we don't
miss an alarm as we shutdown. These alarms should also wake from
`port_idle_until_interrupt` which is used when pretending to deep
sleep.
Second, when real deep sleeping, `alarm_enter_deep_sleep` is called.
The port should set any alarms it didn't during prepare based on
data it saved internally during prepare.
ESP32-S2 sleep is a bit reorganized to locate more logic with
TimeAlarm. This will help it scale to more alarm types.
Fixes#3786
This allows calls to `allocate_memory()` while the VM is running, it will then allocate from the GC heap (unless there is a suitable hole among the supervisor allocations), and when the VM exits and the GC heap is freed, the allocation will be moved to the bottom of the former GC heap and transformed into a proper supervisor allocation. Existing movable allocations will also be moved to defragment the supervisor heap and ensure that the next VM run gets as much memory as possible for the GC heap.
By itself this breaks terminalio because it violates the assumption that supervisor_display_move_memory() still has access to an undisturbed heap to copy the tilegrid from. It will work in many cases, but if you're unlucky you will get garbled terminal contents after exiting from the vm run that created the display. This will be fixed in the following commit, which is separate to simplify review.
This makes a more useful display on the portrait magtag, allowing 21
characters across instead of just 18. There are 20 full rows of text,
instead of 21. The total number of characters increases slightly from 378
to 420.
For comparison, the Commodore VIC 20 had 22 rows of 23 characters for a
total of 506 characters. :-P
* No weak link for modules. It only impacts _os and _time and is
already disabled for non-full builds.
* Turn off PA00 and PA01 because they are the crystal on the Metro
M0 Express.
* Change ejected default to false to move it to BSS. It is set on
USB connection anyway.
* Set sinc_filter to const. Doesn't help flash but keeps it out of
RAM.
