Angus Gratton 02620c2236 stm32/subghz: Add STM32WL55 subghz radio interface to stm module.
This is the minimum C interface to allow a modem driver to be built in
Python.  Interface is simple, with the intention that the micropython-lib
driver is the main (only) consumer of it.

.. currentmodule:: stm
:mod:`stm` --- functionality specific to STM32 MCUs
===================================================
.. module:: stm
:synopsis: functionality specific to STM32 MCUs
This module provides functionality specific to STM32 microcontrollers, including
direct access to peripheral registers.
Memory access
-------------
The module exposes three objects used for raw memory access.
.. data:: mem8
Read/write 8 bits of memory.
.. data:: mem16
Read/write 16 bits of memory.
.. data:: mem32
Read/write 32 bits of memory.
Use subscript notation ``[...]`` to index these objects with the address of
interest.
These memory objects can be used in combination with the peripheral register
constants to read and write registers of the MCU hardware peripherals, as well
as all other areas of address space.
Peripheral register constants
-----------------------------
The module defines constants for registers which are generated from CMSIS header
files, and the constants available depend on the microcontroller series that is
being compiled for. Examples of some constants include:
.. data:: GPIOA
Base address of the GPIOA peripheral.
.. data:: GPIOB
Base address of the GPIOB peripheral.
.. data:: GPIO_BSRR
Offset of the GPIO bit set/reset register.
.. data:: GPIO_IDR
Offset of the GPIO input data register.
.. data:: GPIO_ODR
Offset of the GPIO output data register.
Constants that are named after a peripheral, like ``GPIOA``, are the absolute
address of that peripheral. Constants that have a prefix which is the name of a
peripheral, like ``GPIO_BSRR``, are relative offsets of the register. Accessing
peripheral registers requires adding the absolute base address of the peripheral
and the relative register offset. For example ``GPIOA + GPIO_BSRR`` is the
full, absolute address of the ``GPIOA->BSRR`` register.
Example use:
.. code-block:: python3
# set PA2 high
stm.mem32[stm.GPIOA + stm.GPIO_BSRR] = 1 << 2
# read PA3
value = (stm.mem32[stm.GPIOA + stm.GPIO_IDR] >> 3) & 1
Functions specific to STM32WBxx MCUs
------------------------------------
These functions are available on STM32WBxx microcontrollers, and interact with
the second CPU, the RF core.
.. function:: rfcore_status()
Returns the status of the second CPU as an integer (the first word of device
info table).
.. function:: rfcore_fw_version(id)
Get the version of the firmware running on the second CPU. Pass in 0 for
*id* to get the FUS version, and 1 to get the WS version.
Returns a 5-tuple with the full version number.
.. function:: rfcore_sys_hci(ogf, ocf, data, timeout_ms=0)
Execute a HCI command on the SYS channel. The execution is synchronous.
Returns a bytes object with the result of the SYS command.
Functions specific to STM32WLxx MCUs
------------------------------------
These functions are available on STM32WLxx microcontrollers, and interact with
the integrated "SUBGHZ" radio modem peripheral.
.. function:: subghz_cs(level)
Sets the internal SPI CS pin attached to the radio peripheral. The ``level``
argument is active-low: a truthy value means "CS pin high" and de-asserts the
signal, a falsey value means "CS pin low" and asserts the signal.
The internal-only SPI bus corresponding to this CS signal can be instantiated
using :ref:`machine.SPI()<machine.SPI>` ``id`` value ``"SUBGHZ"``.
.. function:: subghz_irq(handler)
Sets the internal SUBGHZ radio interrupt handler to the provided
function. The handler function is called as a "hard" interrupt in response to
radio peripheral interrupts. See :ref:`isr_rules` for more information about
interrupt handlers in MicroPython.
Calling this function with the handler argument set to None disables the IRQ.
Due to a hardware limitation, each time this IRQ fires MicroPython disables
it before calling the handler. In order to receive another interrupt, Python
code should call ``subghz_irq()`` to set the handler again. This has the side
effect of re-enabling the IRQ.
.. function:: subghz_is_busy()
Return a ``bool`` corresponding to the internal "RFBUSYS" signal from the
radio peripheral. Before sending a new command to the radio over SPI then
this function should be polled until it returns ``False``, to confirm the
busy signal is de-asserted.
