esp8266 port now has working raw and friendly REPL, as well as working
soft reset (CTRL-D at REPL, or raise SystemExit).
tools/pyboard.py now works with esp8266 port.
To build:
make BOARD=ESPRUINO_PICO
To deploy: short the BOOT0/BTN contact on the back of the board (eg by
drawing over it with a graphite pencil), then hold down BTN while
inserting the board into the USB port. The board should then enter DFU
mode, and the firmware can be downloaded using:
make BOARD=ESPRUINO_PICO deploy
Each board now needs an mpconfigboard.mk file which defines AF_FILE and
LD_FILE.
Also moved stm32f405.ld to boards/ directory to keep things organised.
Previous to this patch the printing mechanism was a bit of a tangled
mess. This patch attempts to consolidate printing into one interface.
All (non-debug) printing now uses the mp_print* family of functions,
mainly mp_printf. All these functions take an mp_print_t structure as
their first argument, and this structure defines the printing backend
through the "print_strn" function of said structure.
Printing from the uPy core can reach the platform-defined print code via
two paths: either through mp_sys_stdout_obj (defined pert port) in
conjunction with mp_stream_write; or through the mp_plat_print structure
which uses the MP_PLAT_PRINT_STRN macro to define how string are printed
on the platform. The former is only used when MICROPY_PY_IO is defined.
With this new scheme printing is generally more efficient (less layers
to go through, less arguments to pass), and, given an mp_print_t*
structure, one can call mp_print_str for efficiency instead of
mp_printf("%s", ...). Code size is also reduced by around 200 bytes on
Thumb2 archs.
When setting usb_mode to "HID", hid config object now has
polling-interval (in ms) as the 4th element. It mmust now be a 5-tuple
of the form:
(subclass, protocol, max_packet_len, polling_interval, report_desc)
The mouse and keyboard defaults have polling interval at 8ms.
There are lots of cosmetic changes, but this release brings a very
important bug fix:
- Fixed f_unlink() does not remove cluster chain of the file.
With R0.10c if you try to write a file that is too large to fit in the
free space of the drive, the operation fails, you delete the incomplete
file, and it seems to be erased, but the space is not really freed,
because any subsequent write operations fail because the drive is
"still" full. The only way to recover from this is by formatting the
drive. I can confirm that R0.11 fixes the problem.
Given that there's already support for "fixed table" maps, which are
essentially ordered maps, the implementation of OrderedDict just extends
"fixed table" maps by adding an "is ordered" flag and add/remove
operations, and reuses 95% of objdict code, just making methods tolerant
to both dict and OrderedDict.
Some things are missing so far, like CPython-compatible repr and comparison.
OrderedDict is Disabled by default; enabled on unix and stmhal ports.
