This patch adds support to mboot for programming external SPI flash. It
allows SPI flash to be programmed via a USB DFU utility in the same way
that internal MCU flash is programmed.
Prior to this patch the QSPI driver assumed that the length of all data
reads and writes was a multiple of 4. This patch allows any length. Reads
are optimised for speed by using 32-bit transfers when possible, but writes
always use a byte transfer because they only use a single data IO line and
are relatively slow.
These examples rely on machine and pyb modules, so they have to get.
Leaving 3 BLE examples that also rely on those modules, but can be
fixed to use CP's modules.
This commit cleans up the pin generation code, all the pins and their
AF (only ADC, for now) are specified in nrf52_af.csv and board use their
own csv file to specify which pins are available on that board and if
they have any special names.
With the only difference between a SD and non-SD build is the linker
file, there's no need to have two separate .mk per board files,
just use a conditional.
The DMA peripheral is limited to transferring 65535 elements at a time so
in order to send more than that the SPI driver must split the transfers up.
The user must be aware of this limit if they are relying on precise timing
of the entire SPI transfer, because there might be a small delay between
the split transfers.
Fixes issue #3851, and thanks to @kwagyeman for the original fix.
This behaviour of a NULL write C method on a stream that uses the write
adaptor objects is no longer supported. It was only ever used by the
coverage build for testing the fail path of mp_get_stream_raise().
With this patch objects are only checked that they have the stream protocol
at the start of their use as a stream, and afterwards the efficient
mp_get_stream() helper is used to extract the stream protocol C methods.
The existing mp_get_stream_raise() helper does explicit checks that the
input object is a real pointer object, has a non-NULL stream protocol, and
has the desired stream C method (read/write/ioctl). In most cases it is
not necessary to do these checks because it is guaranteed that the input
object has the stream protocol and desired C methods. For example, native
objects that use the stream wrappers (eg mp_stream_readinto_obj) in their
locals dict always have the stream protocol (or else they shouldn't have
these wrappers in their locals dict).
This patch introduces an efficient mp_get_stream() which doesn't do any
checks and just extracts the stream protocol struct. This should be used
in all cases where the argument object is known to be a stream. The
existing mp_get_stream_raise() should be used primarily to verify that an
object does have the correct stream protocol methods.
All uses of mp_get_stream_raise() in py/stream.c have been converted to use
mp_get_stream() because the argument is guaranteed to be a proper stream
object.
This patch improves efficiency of stream operations and reduces code size.
If the user button is held down indefinitely (eg unintenionally, or because
the GPIO signal of the user button is connected to some external device)
then it makes sense to end the reset mode cycle with the default mode of
1, which executes code as normal.
