This adds an initial specification of the machine.PWM class, to provide a
way to generate PWM output that is portable across the different ports.
Such functionality may already be available in one way or another (eg
through a Timer object), but because configuring PWM via a Timer is very
port-specific, and because it's a common thing to do, it's beneficial to
have a top-level construct for it.
The specification in this commit aims to provide core functionality in a
minimal way. It also somewhat matches most existing ad-hoc implementations
of machine.PWM.

This commit adds the errno attribute to exceptions, so code can retrieve
errno codes from an OSError using exc.errno.
The implementation here simply lets `errno` (and the existing `value`)
attributes work on any exception instance (they both alias args[0]). This
is for efficiency and to keep code size down. The pros and cons of this
are:
Pros:
- more compatible with CPython, less difference to document and learn
- OSError().errno will correctly return None, whereas the current way of
doing it via OSError().args[0] will raise an IndexError
- it reduces code size on most bare-metal ports (because they already have
the errno qstr)
- for Python code that uses exc.errno the generated bytecode is 2 bytes
smaller and more efficient to execute (compared with exc.args[0]); so
bytecode loaded to RAM saves 2 bytes RAM for each use of this attribute,
and bytecode that is frozen saves 2 bytes flash/ROM for each use
- it's easier/shorter to type, and saves 2 bytes of space in .py files that
use it (for each use)
Cons:
- increases code size by 4-8 bytes on minimal ports that don't already have
the `errno` qstr
- all exceptions now have .errno and .value attributes (a cpydiff test is
added to address this)

It's a bit of a pitfall with user C modules that including them in the
build does not automatically enable them. This commit changes the docs and
examples for user C modules to encourage writers of user C modules to
enable them unconditionally. This makes things simpler and covers most use
cases.

This commit implements basic NVS support for the esp32. It follows the
pattern of the esp32.Partition class and exposes an NVS object per NVS

more types.

This is consistent with the other 'micro' modules and allows implementing
additional features in Python via e.g. micropython-lib's sys.
Note this is a breaking change (not backwards compatible) for ports which
do not enable weak links, as "import sys" must now be replaced with
"import usys".
This adds an additional optional parameter to gap_scan() to select active

This commit adds support for modification time of files on littlefs v2
filesystems, using file attributes. For some background see issue #6114.
Features/properties of this implementation:
- Only supported on littlefs2 (not littlefs1).
- Uses littlefs2's general file attributes to store the timestamp.
- The timestamp is 64-bits and stores nanoseconds since 1970/1/1 (if the
range to the year 2554 is not enough then additional bits can be added to
this timestamp by adding another file attribute).
- mtime is enabled by default but can be disabled in the constructor, eg:
uos.mount(uos.VfsLfs2(bdev, mtime=False), '/flash')
- It's fully backwards compatible, existing littlefs2 filesystems will work
without reformatting and timestamps will be added transparently to
existing files (once they are opened for writing).
- Files without timestamps will open correctly, and stat will just return 0
for their timestamp.
- mtime can be disabled or enabled each mount time and timestamps will only
be updated if mtime is enabled (otherwise they will be untouched).

The ESP32 RMT peripheral has hardware support for a carrier frequency, and
this commit exposes it to Python with the keyword arguments carrier_freq

r = esp32.RMT(0, pin=Pin(2), clock_div=80, carrier_freq=38000, carrier_duty_percent=50)
This patch adds quickref documentation for the change in commit
afd0701bf7. This commit added the ability to
disable the REPL and hence use UART0 for serial communication on the

The text is largely taken from the commit message, with generic information
on using the UART duplicated from the Wipy quickref document.
This enables warnings as errors and fixes all current errors, namely:
- reference to terms in the glossary must now be explicit (:term:)
- method overloads must not be declared as a separate method or must
use :noindex:
- 2 cases where `` should have been used instead of `

This commit allows the user to set/get the GAP device name used by service
0x1800, characteristic 0x2a00. The usage is:
BLE.config(gap_name="myname")
print(BLE.config("gap_name"))
As part of this change the compile-time setting
MICROPY_PY_BLUETOOTH_DEFAULT_NAME is renamed to
MICROPY_PY_BLUETOOTH_DEFAULT_GAP_NAME to emphasise its link to GAP and this
new "gap_name" config value. And the default value of this for the NimBLE
bindings is changed from "PYBD" to "MPY NIMBLE" to be more generic.
This commit adds several small items to improve the support for OTA
updates on an esp32:
- a partition table for 4MB flash modules that has two OTA partitions ready
to go to do updates
- a GENERIC_OTA board that uses that partition table and that enables
automatic roll-back in the bootloader
- a new esp32.Partition.mark_app_valid_cancel_rollback() class-method to
signal that the boot is successful and should not be rolled back at the
next reset
- an automated test for doing an OTA update
- documentation updates
This commit adds full support to the unix port for Bluetooth using the

This commit adds an idf_heap_info(capabilities) method to the esp32 module
which returns info about the ESP-IDF heaps. It's useful to get a bit of a

memory anymore. Includes documentation and a test.
This commit adds Loop.new_event_loop() which is used to reset the singleton

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.
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 commit changes the BLE _IRQ_SCAN_RESULT data from:
addr_type, addr, connectable, rssi, adv_data
to:
addr_type, addr, adv_type, rssi, adv_data
This allows _IRQ_SCAN_RESULT to handle all scan result types (not just
connectable and non-connectable passive scans), and to distinguish between
them using adv_type which is an integer taking values 0x00-0x04 per the BT
specification.
This is a breaking change to the API, albeit a very minor one: the existing
connectable value was a boolean and True now becomes 0x00, False becomes
0x02.
Documentation is updated and a test added.
Fixes#5738.
The default value for MICROPYPATH used in unix/main.c is
"~/.micropython/lib:/usr/lib/micropython" which has 2 problems when used in
the Windows port:
- it has a ':' as path separator but the port uses ';' so the entire string
is effectively discarded since it gets interpreted as a single path which
doesn't exist
- /usr/lib/micropython is not a valid path in a standard Windows
environment
Override the value with a suitable default.
This fix can be demonstrated by the following:
b = bytearray(32)
f = framebuf.FrameBuffer(b, 32, 8, framebuf.MONO_HLSB)
f.pixel(0, 0, 1)
print('MONO_HLSB', hex(b[0]))
b = bytearray(32)
f = framebuf.FrameBuffer(b, 32, 8, framebuf.MONO_HMSB)
f.pixel(0, 0, 1)
print('MONO_HMSB', hex(b[0]))
Outcome:
MONO_HLSB 0x80
MONO_HMSB 0x1

The size of the event ringbuf was previously fixed to compile-time config
value, but it's necessary to sometimes increase this for applications that
have large characteristic buffers to read, or many events at once.
With this commit the size can be set via BLE.config(rxbuf=512), for
example. This also resizes the internal event data buffer which sets the
maximum size of incoming data passed to the event handler.
This allows the user to explicitly select the behaviour of the write to the
remote peripheral. This is needed for peripherals that have
characteristics with WRITE_NO_RESPONSE set (instead of normal WRITE). The
function's signature is now:
BLE.gattc_write(conn_handle, value_handle, data, mode=0)
mode=0 means write without response, while mode=1 means write with
response. The latter was the original behaviour so this commit is a change
in behaviour of this method, and one should specify 1 as the 4th argument
to get back the old behaviour.
In the future there could be more modes supported, such as long writes.
The address, adv payload and uuid fields of the event are pre-allocated by
modbluetooth, and reused in the IRQ handler. Simplify this and move all
storage into the `mp_obj_bluetooth_ble_t` instance.
This now allows users to hold on to a reference to these instances without
crashes, although they may be overwritten by future events. If they want
to hold onto the values longer term they need to copy them.
defindex.html (used by topindex.html) is deprecated, but topindex.html was

Behaviour was changed from stack to queue in
8977c7eb58, and this updates variable names
to match. Also updates other references (docs, error messages).
This allows to efficiently send to an I2C slave data that is made up of
more than one buffer. Instead of needing to allocate temporary memory to
combine buffers together this new method allows to pass in a tuple or list
of buffers. The name is based on the POSIX function writev() which has
similar intentions and signature.
The reasons for taking this approach (compared to having an interface with
separate start/write/stop methods) are:
- It's a backwards compatible extension.
- It's convenient for the user.
- It's efficient because there is only one Python call, then the C code can
do everything in one go.
- It's efficient on the I2C bus because the implementation can do
everything in one go without pauses between blocks of bytes.
- It should be possible to implement this extension in all ports, for
hardware and software I2C.
Further discussion is found in issue #3482, PR #4020 and PR #4763.
It's more common to need non-blocking behaviour when reading from a UART,
rather than having a large timeout like 1000ms (the original behaviour).
With a large timeout it's 1) likely that the function will read forever if
characters keep trickling it; or 2) the function will unnecessarily wait
when characters come sporadically, eg at a REPL prompt.
This system makes it a lot easier to include external libraries as static,
native modules in MicroPython. Simply pass USER_C_MODULES (like
FROZEN_MPY_DIR) as a make parameter.
This is only correct for the extmod/uos_dupterm.c implementation however,
as e.g cc3200 implementation does the mp_load_method() itself, and anyway
requires `read` instead of `readinto`.
Replaces "PYB: soft reboot" with "MPY: soft reboot", etc.
Having a consistent prefix across ports reduces the difference between
ports, which is a general goal. And this change won't break pyboard.py
because that tool only looks for "soft reboot".
The machine.sleep() function can be misleading because it clashes with
time.sleep() which has quite different semantics. So change it to
machine.lightsleep() which shows that it is closer in behaviour to
machine.deepsleep().
Also, add an optional argument to these two sleep functions to specify a
maximum time to sleep for. This is a common operation and underlying
hardware usually has a special way of performing this operation.
The existing machine.sleep() function will remain for backwards
compatibility purposes, and it can simply be an alias for
machine.lightsleep() without arguments. The behaviour will be the same.
Examples are added to the beginning of the module docs, similarly to docs
for many other modules.
Improvements to grammar, style, and clarity. Some paragraphs are updated
with better suggestions. A warning added of the effect incorrect usage of
the module may have. Describe the fact that offset range used in one
defined structure is limited.
Otherwise there is really nothing that can be done, it can't be unlocked by
the user because there is no way to allocate memory to execute the unlock.

With this commit there is now only one entry point into the whole
documentation, which describes the general MicroPython language, and then
from there there are links to information about specific platforms/ports.
This commit doesn't change content (almost, it does fix a few internal
links), it just reorganises things.
All concrete network classes are now moved to their own file (eg
network.WLAN.rst) and deconditionalised (remove ..only:: directives). This
makes the network documentation the same for all ports. After this change
there are no more "..only::" directives for different ports, and the only
difference among ports is the very front page of the docs.
The WiPy machine.Timer class is very different to the esp8266 and esp32
implementations which are better candidates for a general Timer class. By
moving the WiPy Timer docs to a completely separate file, under a new name
machine.TimerWiPy, it gives a clean slate to define and write the docs for
a better, general machine.Timer class. This is with the aim of eventually
providing documentation that does not have conditional parts to it,
conditional on the port.
While the new docs are being defined it makes sense to keep the WiPy docs,
since they describe its behaviour. Once the new Timer behaviour is defined
the WiPy code can be changed to match it, and then the TimerWiPy docs would
be removed.
The machine module should be standard across all ports so should have the
same set of classes in the docs. A special warning is added to the top of
the machine.SD class because it is not standardised and only available on
the cc3200 port.
It's fair to just provide a link to all available modules, regardless of
the port. Most of the existing ports (unix, stm32, esp8266, esp32) share
most of the same set of modules anyway, so no need to maintain separate
lists for them. And there's a big discussion at the start of this index
about modules not being available on a given port.
For port-specific modules, they can also be listed unconditionally because
they have headings that explicitly state they are only available on certain
ports.
The UART.init() method is now included unconditionally and its wording
adjusted to better describe ports other than the cc3200.
UART.irq() is also included unconditionally, but this is currently only
available on the WiPy target.
By virtue of its name, the pyb module would only be available on a pyboard
and so does not need to have conditional "only" directives throughout its
documentation.
These conditionals were added mostly in
cfcf47c064 in the initial development of the
cc3200 port, which had the pyb module before it switched to the machine
module. And wipy only conditionals were removed from the pyb module
documentation in 4542643025, so there's no
need to retain any more conditionals.
Allow including crypto consts based on compilation settings. Disabled by
default to reduce code size; if one wants extra code readability, can
enable them.
