This commit changes the esp8266 boards to use littlefs v2 as the
filesystem, rather than FAT. Since the esp8266 doesn't expose the
filesystem to the PC over USB there's no strong reason to keep it as FAT.
Littlefs is smaller in code size, is more efficient in use of flash to
store data, is resilient over power failure, and using it saves about 4k of
heap RAM, which can now be used for other things.
This is a backwards incompatible change because all existing esp8266 boards
will need to update their filesystem after installing new firmware (eg
backup old files, install firmware, restore files to new filesystem).
As part of this commit the memory layout of the default board (GENERIC) has
changed. It now allocates all 1M of memory-mapped flash to the firmware,
so the filesystem area starts at the 2M point. This is done to allow more
frozen bytecode to be stored in the 1M of memory-mapped flash. This
requires an esp8266 module with 2M or more of flash to work, so a new board
called GENERIC_1M is added which has the old memory-mapping (but still
changed to use littlefs for the filesystem).
In summary there are now 3 esp8266 board definitions:
- GENERIC_512K: for 512k modules, doesn't have a filesystem.
- GENERIC_1M: for 1M modules, 572k for firmware+frozen code, 396k for
filesystem (littlefs).
- GENERIC: for 2M (or greater) modules, 968k for firmware+frozen code,
1M+ for filesystem (littlefs), FAT driver also included in firmware for
use on, eg, external SD cards.
Following up to 5e6cee07ab, some systems (eg
FreeBSD 12.0 64-bit) will crash if the stack-overflow margin is too small.
It seems the margin of 8192 bytes (or thereabouts) is always needed. This
commit adds this much margin if the requested stack size is too small.
Fixes issue #5824.
These were found by buiding the unix coverage variant on macOS (so clang
compiler). Mostly, these are fixing implicit cast of float/double to
mp_float_t which is one of those two and one mp_int_t to size_t fix for
good measure.
These are mainly used by the previous version of uasyncio which is now
replaced by a newer version, with built-in C module _uasyncio. Saves about
1300 bytes of flash.

This implements something similar to PEP 475 on the unix port, and for the
VfsPosix class.
There are a few differences from the CPython implementation:
- Since we call mp_handle_pending() between any ENITR's, additional
functions could be called if MICROPY_ENABLE_SCHEDULER is enabled, not
just signal handlers.
- CPython only handles signal on the main thread, so other threads will
raise InterruptedError instead of retrying. On MicroPython,
mp_handle_pending() will currently raise exceptions on any thread.
A new macro MP_HAL_RETRY_SYSCALL is introduced to reduce duplicated code
and ensure that all instances behave the same. This will also allow other
ports that use POSIX-like system calls (and use, eg, VfsPosix) to provide
their own implementation if needed.
The stack size adjustment for detecting stack overflow in threads was not
taking into account that the requested stack size could be <= 8k, in which
case the subtraction would overflow. This is fixed in this commit by
ensuring that the adjustment can't be more than the available size.
This fixes the test tests/thread/thread_stacksize1.py which sometimes
crashes with a segmentation fault because of an uncaught NLR jump, which is
a "maximum recursion depth exceeded" exception.

To enable lazy loading of submodules (among other things), which is very
useful for MicroPython libraries that want to have optional subcomponents.
Disabled explicitly on minimal ports.
This function is not used by the core but having it as part of the build
allows it to be used by user C modules, or board extensions. The linker
won't include it in the final firmware if it remains unused.
This removes the port-specific definition of MP_PLAT_PRINT_STRN on the
windows port, so that the default mp_hal_stdout_tx_strn_cooked() is always
used. This fixes releasing the GIL during the call to write() (this was
missed in bc3499f010).
Also, mp_hal_dupterm_tx_strn() was defined but never used anywhere so it is
safe to delete it.
This removes the port-specific definition of MP_PLAT_PRINT_STRN on the unix
port. Since fee7e5617f this is no longer a
single function call so we are not really optimising anything over using
the default definition of MP_PLAT_PRINT_STRN which calls
mp_hal_stdout_tx_strn_cooked().
Zephyr v2.2 reworked its gpio api to support linux device tree bindings and
pin logical levels. This commit updates the zephyr port's machine.Pin
class to replace the deprecated gpio api calls with the new supported gpio
api. This resolves several build warnings.
Tested on frdm_k64f and mimxrt1050_evk boards.
The "led" argument is always a pointer to the GPIO port, or'd with the pin
that the LED is on, so testing that it is "1" is unnecessary. The type of
"led" is also changed to uint32_t so it can properly hold a 32-bit pointer.
Updating the LED0 state from systick handler ensures LED0 is always
consistent with its flash rate regardless of other processing going on in
either interrupts or main. This improves the visible stability of the
bootloader, rather than LED0 flashing somewhat randomly at times.
This commit also changes the LED0 flash rate depending on the current state
of DFU, giving slightly more visual feedback on what the device is doing.
Adds support in the zephyr port to execute main.py if the file system is
enabled and the file exists. Existing support for executing a main.py
frozen module is preserved, since pyexec_file_if_exists() works just
like pyexec_frozen_module() if there's no vfs.
Enables the zephyr usb device stack and mass storage class on the
mimxrt1050_evk board. The mass storage class is backed by the sdhc disk
access driver, so it's now possible to browse and modify the contents of
the SD card from a USB host (your PC). This is in preparation to support
writing a main.py script to the SD card, and then executing it after the
next reset.
Adds support in the zephyr port to mount a file system if a block device
(sdhc disk access or flash area) is available. The mount point is either
"/sd" or "/flash" depending on the type of block device.
Tested with an sdhc disk access block device and fatfs on the
mimxrt1050_evk board.
Tested with a flash area block device and littlefs on the reel_board.
This commit adds micropython.heap_locked() which returns the current
lock-depth of the heap, and can be used by Python code to check if the heap
is locked or not. This new function is configured via
MICROPY_PY_MICROPYTHON_HEAP_LOCKED and is disabled by default.
This commit also changes the return value of micropython.heap_unlock() so
it returns the current lock-depth as well.
This is an extremely minimal port to the NXP i.MX RT, in the style of the
SAMD port It's largely based on the TinyUSB mimxrt implementation, using
the NXP SDK. It currently supports the Teensy 4.0 board with a REPL over
the USB-VCP interface.
This commit also adds the NXP SDK submodule (also from TinyUSB) to
lib/nxp_driver.
Note: if you already have the tinyusb submodule initialized recursively you
will need to run the following as the tinyusb sub-submodules have been
rearranged (upstream):
git submodule deinit lib/tinyusb
rm -rf .git/modules/lib/tinyusb
git submodule update --init lib/tinyusb
