Two new compile flags are:
MICROPY_HW_DFLL_USB_SYNC: Effective only if DFLL48 does not run from the
crystal. It will synchronize the DFLL48M clock with the USB's SOF pulse.
If no USB is connected, it will fall back to open loop mode. The DFLL48M
clock is then pretty precise, but with a higher clock jitter at SAMD51
devices.
MICROPY_HW_MCU_OSC32KULP: Effective only if the devics uses a crystal as
clock source. Run the MCU clock from the ULP 32kHz oszillator instead of
the crystal. This flag was added to cater for a interference problem of
the crystal and Neopixel/Debug pins at Adafruit FEATHER Mx boards, which
causes the board to crash. Drawback: ticks_ms() and time.time() vs. than
ticks_us() and the peripherals like PWM run at not synchronous clocks.
These two boards are used for testing, so it is favorable to have them
added early.
The full test set is:
- ADAFRUIT_FEATHER_M4_EXPRESS: SAMD51 with 32kHz crystal.
- ADAFRUIT_ITSYBITSY_M0_EXPRESS: SAMD21 without crystal.
- ADAFRUIT_ITSYBITSY_M4_EXPRESS: SAMD51 without crystal.
- SEEED_XIAO: SAM21 with 32kHz crystal.
