This is how the names will be printed on the sticker that goes on top
of the EMI shield. The shorter names also help saving a few bytes of
RAM and ROM.
In general the changes are:
1. Peripheral (UART, SPI, ADC, I2C, Timer) IDs start from 1, not zero.
2. Make I2C and SPI require the ID even when there's only one bus.
3. Make I2C and SPI accept 'mode' parameter even though only MASTER
is supported.
The safe boot pin, when pulled high during reset rolls back the
firmware to the "factory" image and skips execution of 'boot.py'
and 'main.py'. This is useful to recover from a crash condition.
The system led is used mostly to signal errors.
I2C objects can be freed by the GC and a __del__ method is provided
in order to de-init the peripheral prior to being garbage collected.
UART objects are now added to a local list and this list is now part
of the VM_STATE.
This change helps making the cc3200 port API a bit closer to stmhal.
The ramaining differences are due to the specific hardware details
of each chip. One feature that has been deliberately disabled is the
possibility to add custom names and custom pin mappings. Those
features are nice and convenient, but in this port, code size is a
major concern.
The port currently implements support for GPIO, RTC, ExtInt and the WiFi
subsystem. A small file system is available in the serial flash. A
bootloader which makes OTA updates possible, is also part of this initial
implementation.
