This allows to statically allocate the TCB (thread control block) and
thread stack in the BSS segment, reducing the need for dynamic memory
allocation.
py/mphal.h contains declarations for generic mp_hal_XXX functions, such
as stdio and delay/ticks, which ports should provide definitions for. A
port will also provide mphalport.h with further HAL declarations.
With network.server_timeout(secs) the timeout can be changed.
The default value is 300 secs. Minimmum accpeted is 5 secs.
Without params the function returns the current configured timeout.
This is actually a workaround Ter Term's issue of not obeying to the
telnet options that the server is sending. Therefore, we must buffer
chars until either a '\r' or the max length of the username/password
is received.
Unfortunately, these timeouts are the only realiable way (for now), to
be able to detect broken connections due to half-open sockets. Such a
thing occurs when getting out of the WiFi coverage area or when
disconnecting from the AP (sometimes the client doesn't send the
disconnect packet).
The port currently implements support for GPIO, RTC, ExtInt and the WiFi
subsystem. A small file system is available in the serial flash. A
bootloader which makes OTA updates possible, is also part of this initial
implementation.
