Unfortunately, these timeouts are the only realiable way (for now), to
be able to detect broken connections due to half-open sockets. Such a
thing occurs when getting out of the WiFi coverage area or when
disconnecting from the AP (sometimes the client doesn't send the
disconnect packet).
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.
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.
