The memory read/write I2C functions now take an optional keyword-only parameter that specifies the number of bits in the memory address. Only mem-addrs that are a multiple of 8-bits are supported (otherwise the behaviour is undefined). Due to the integer type used for the address, for values larger than 32 bits, only 32 bits of address will be sent, and the rest will be padded with 0s. Right now no exception is raised when that happens. For values smaller than 8, no address is sent. Also no exception then. Tested with a VL6180 sensor, which has 16-bit register addresses. Due to code refactoring, this patch reduces stmhal and esp8266 builds by about 50 bytes.
MicroPython Documentation
The MicroPython documentation can be found at: http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/
The documentation you see there is generated from the files in the docs tree: https://github.com/micropython/micropython/tree/master/docs
Building the documentation locally
If you're making changes to the documentation, you may want to build the documentation locally so that you can preview your changes.
Install Sphinx, and optionally (for the RTD-styling), sphinx_rtd_theme, preferably in a virtualenv:
pip install sphinx
pip install sphinx_rtd_theme
In micropython/docs, build the docs:
make MICROPY_PORT=<port_name> html
Where <port_name> can be unix, pyboard, wipy or esp8266.
You'll find the index page at micropython/docs/build/<port_name>/html/index.html.
PDF manual generation
This can be achieved with:
make MICROPY_PORT=<port_name> latexpdf
but require rather complete install of LaTeX with various extensions. On Debian/Ubuntu, try (500MB+ download):
apt-get install texlive-latex-recommended texlive-latex-extra
