- Adds an explicit way to set the size of a value's internal buffer,
replacing `ble.gatts_write(handle, bytes(size))` (although that
still works).
- Add an "append" mode for values, which means that remote writes
will append to the buffer.
The MP_STATE_THREAD(stack_top) is always available so use it instead of
creating a separate variable. This also allows gc_collect() to be used as
an independent function, without real_main() being called.
This commit adds helper functions to call readblocks/writeblocks with a
fourth argument, the byte offset within a block.
Although the mp_vfs_blockdev_t struct has grown here by 2 machine words, in
all current uses of this struct within this repository it still fits within
the same number of GC blocks.
When a SPI bus is initialized with a SPI host that is currently in use the
exception msg incorrectly indicates "SPI device already in use". The
mention of "device" in the exception msg is confusing because the error is
about trying to use a SPI host that is already claimed. A better exception
msg is "SPI host already in use".
For consistency with "umachine". Now that weak links are enabled
by default for built-in modules, this should be a no-op, but allows
extension of the bluetooth module by user code.
Also move registration of ubluetooth to objmodule rather than
port-specific.
This commit implements automatic module weak links for all built-in
modules, by searching for "ufoo" in the built-in module list if "foo"
cannot be found. This means that all modules named "ufoo" are always
available as "foo". Also, a port can no longer add any other weak links,
which makes strict the definition of a weak link.
It saves some code size (about 100-200 bytes) on ports that previously had
lots of weak links.
Some changes from the previous behaviour:
- It doesn't intern the non-u module names (eg "foo" is not interned),
which saves code size, but will mean that "import foo" creates a new qstr
(namely "foo") in RAM (unless the importing module is frozen).
- help('modules') no longer lists non-u module names, only the u-variants;
this reduces duplication in the help listing.
Weak links are effectively the same as having a set of symbolic links on
the filesystem that is searched last. So an "import foo" will search
built-in modules first, then all paths in sys.path, then weak links last,
importing "ufoo" if it exists. Thus a file called "foo.py" somewhere in
sys.path will still have precedence over the weak link of "foo" to "ufoo".

NimBLE doesn't actually copy this data, it requires it to stay live.
Only dereference when we register a new set of services.
Fixes#5226
This will allow incrementally adding services in the future, so
rename `reset` to `append` to make it clearer.
Internally change the representation of UUIDs to LE uint8* to simplify this.
This allows UUIDs to be easily used in BLE payloads (such as advertising).
