The stm32 and nrf ports already had the behaviour that they would first
check if the script exists before executing it, and this patch makes all
other ports work the same way. This helps when developing apps because
it's hard to tell (when unconditionally trying to execute the scripts) if
the resulting OSError at boot up comes from missing boot.py or main.py, or
from some other error. And it's not really an error if these scripts don't
exist.
This patch makes the DAC driver simpler and removes the need for the ST
HAL. As part of it, new helper functions are added to the DMA driver,
which also use direct register access instead of the ST HAL.
Main changes to the DAC interface are:
- The DAC uPy object is no longer allocated dynamically on the heap,
rather it's statically allocated and the same object is retrieved for
subsequent uses of pyb.DAC(<id>). This allows to access the DAC objects
without resetting the DAC peripheral. It also means that the DAC is only
reset if explicitly passed initialisation parameters, like "bits" or
"buffering".
- The DAC.noise() and DAC.triangle() methods now output a signal which is
full scale (previously it was a fraction of the full output voltage).
- The DAC.write_timed() method is fixed so that it continues in the
background when another peripheral (eg SPI) uses the DMA (previously the
DAC would stop if another peripheral finished with the DMA and shut the
DMA peripheral off completely).
Based on the above, the following backwards incompatibilities are
introduced:
- pyb.DAC(id) will now only reset the DAC the first time it is called,
whereas previously each call to create a DAC object would reset the DAC.
To get the old behaviour pass the bits parameter like: pyb.DAC(id, bits).
- DAC.noise() and DAC.triangle() are now full scale. To get previous
behaviour (to change the amplitude and offset) write to the DAC_CR (MAMP
bits) and DAC_DHR12Rx registers manually.
If MICROPY_HW_RTC_USE_BYPASS is enabled the RTC startup goes as follows:
- RTC is started with LSE in bypass mode to begin with
- if that fails to start (after a given timeout) then LSE is reconfigured
in non-bypass
- if that fails to start then RTC is switched to LSI
Use uos.dupterm for REPL configuration of the main USB_VCP(0) stream on
dupterm slot 1, if USB is enabled. This means dupterm can also be used to
disable the boot REPL port if desired, via uos.dupterm(None, 1).
For efficiency this adds a simple hook to the global uos.dupterm code to
work with streams that are known to be native streams.
These macros are unused, and they can conflict with other entities by the
same name. If needed they can be provided as static inline functions, or
just functions.
Fixes issue #4559.
Adds support for hardware i2c to the zephyr port. Similar to other ports
such as stm32 and nrf, we only implement the i2c protocol functions
(readfrom and writeto) and defer memory operations (readfrom_mem,
readfrom_mem_into, and writeto_mem) to the software i2c implementation.
This may need to change in the future because zephyr is considering
deprecating its i2c_transfer function in favor of i2c_write_read; in this
case we would probably want to implement the memory operations directly
using i2c_write_read.
Tested with the accelerometer on frdm_k64f and bbc_microbit boards.
For gpio_hold_en() to work properly (not draw additional current) pull
up/down must be disabled when hold is enabled. This patch makes sure this
is the case by reworking the pull constants to be a bit mask.
Adding section about on how to disable use of the linker flag
-flto, by setting the LTO=0 argument to Make. Also, added a
note on recommended toolchains to use that works well with
LTO enabled.
Removing linker script for nrf52840 s140 v6.0.0 as pca10056
target board now points to the new v6.1.1. Also, removing the
entry from the download_ble_stack.sh script.
Removing linker script for nrf52832 s132 v6.0.0 as all target
boards now points to the new v6.1.1. Also, removing the entry
from the download_ble_stack.sh script.
