Remove include of stm32f4xx_hal.h, replace by include of MICROPY_HAL_H
where needed, and make it compile without float support. This makes
these 3 modules much more generic and usable by other ports.
mp_obj_int_get_truncated is used as a "fast path" int accessor that
doesn't check for overflow and returns the int truncated to the machine
word size, ie mp_int_t.
Use mp_obj_int_get_truncated to fix struct.pack when packing maximum word
sized values.
Addresses issues #779 and #998.
This patch overhauls the network driver interface. A generic NIC must
provide a set of C-level functions to implement low-level socket control
(eg socket, bind, connect, send, recv). Doing this, the network and
usocket modules can then use such a NIC to implement proper socket
control at the Python level.
This patch also updates the CC3K and WIZNET5K drivers to conform to the
new interface, and fixes some bugs in the drivers. They now work
reasonably well.
As per issue #876, the network module is used to configure NICs
(hardware modules) and configure routing. The usocket module is
supposed to implement the normal Python socket module and selects the
underlying NIC using routing logic.
Right now the routing logic is brain dead: first-initialised,
first-used. And the routing table is just a list of registered NICs.
cc3k and wiznet5k work, but not at the same time due to C name clashes
(to be fixed).
Note that the usocket module has alias socket, so that one can import
socket and it works as normal. But you can also override socket with
your own module, using usocket at the backend.
