This is just support for the chip, no boards are currently supported.
However, you can use this target on a custom board.
Notes:
- This required a new runtime and machine implementation, because the
hardware is actually very different (and much nicer than older
AVRs!).
- I had to update gen-device-avr to support this chip. This also
affects the generated output of other AVRs, but I checked all chips
we support and there shouldn't be any backwards incompatible
changes.
- I did not implement peripherals like UART, I2C, SPI, etc because I
don't need them. That is left to do in the future.
You can flash these chips with only a UART and a 1kOhm resistor, which
is really nice (no special hardware needed). Here is the program I've
used for this purpose: https://pypi.org/project/pymcuprog/
* Rename pinetime-devkit0 to pinetime because the production device is
almost the same hardware (the only noticeable difference is a
different accelerometer, which isn't part of the board file).
* Remove the UART and set serial to none. The UART uses a lot of
current by default, so it seems better to disable it.
This is a breaking change, but honestly I think I'm the only one who has
ever actually used TinyGo for the PineTime and I'm fine with this
change :)
This should fix a number of concurrency/threading issues.
I had to force-disable concurrency in the linker using a hack. I'm not
entirely sure what the cause is, possibly the MinGW version (version 12
appears to work for me, while version 11 as used on the GitHub runner
image seems to be broken).
There are a few ways to fix this in a better way:
* Fix the underlying cause (possibly by upgrading to MinGW-w64 12).
* Add the `--threads` flag to the LLD MinGW linker, so we can use a
regular parameter instead of this hack.
It can be difficult to find what went wrong in a test. Omitting -v
should make it easier to see the failing tests and the output for them
(note that output is still printed for tests that fail).
This was actually surprising once I got TinyGo to build on Windows 11
ARM64. All the changes are exactly what you'd expect for a new
architecture, there was no special weirdness just for arm64.
Actually getting TinyGo to build was kind of involved though. The very
short summary is: install arm64 versions of some pieces of software
(like golang, cmake) instead of installing them though choco. In
particular, use the llvm-mingw[1] toolchain instead of using standard
mingw.

- Use compiler-rt and picolibc instead of avr-libc.
- Use ld.lld instead of avr-ld (or avr-gcc).
This makes it much easier to get started with TinyGo on AVR because
installing these extra tools (gcc-avr, avr-libc) can be a hassle.
It also opens the door for future improvements such as ThinLTO.
There is a code size increase but I think it's worth it in the long run.
The code size increase can hopefully be reduced with improvements to the
LLVM AVR backend and to compiler-rt.
This sanitizer is useful to detect use-after-free, double free, buffer
overflows, and more such errors.
I've found it useful lately to detect some bugs in TinyGo, and having a
single flag to enable it makes it much easier to enable
AddressSanitizer.
Replace ADCChannel.ReadTemperature() with a simple ReadTemperature
function.
Not all chips will have a temperature sensor that is read by sampling an
ADC channel. The replacement ReadTemperature is simpler and more generic
to other chip families.
This breaks chips that were relying on the previous ReadTemperature
method. I hope it won't break a lot of existing code. If it does, a
fallback can be added.
I found that some packages do in fact run on Windows, so I've added them
where possible. I've also updated the description of which packages fail
tests and why.
This target was added purely for running tests, and it is currently
unused. When I try to use it, it causes runtime exceptions.
The replacement riscv-qemu is much better behaved.
This doesn't drop support for any actual hardware, the HiFive 1 B will
remain supported.
This gives some more optimization opportunities to LLVM, because it
understands these intrinsics. For example, it might convert
llvm.sqrt.f64 to llvm.sqrt.f32 if possible.
This makes nrf51 consistent with nrf52 and other chips, which do provide
constants for hardware pin numbers.
I've also added the microbit to the smoketest because it is used on
play.tinygo.org. And removed PCA10040 and PCA10056 because they aren't
provided on play.tinygo.org anymore.
This makes it easier to move the TinyGo compiler between Linux versions
because it doesn't depend on any system libraries anymore. For example,
binaries should be able to run on old Linux versions and on
distributions without glibc (such as Alpine Linux).
This commit will start to use a few more WebAssembly features, such as
bulk memory operations. This results in a significant code size saving.
How much it saves varies a lot but it's typically around 1300 bytes.
This change is possible by bumping our minimum Node.js version to 14.
The previous LTS version (12) has been marked end of life, so we can
start to depend on features in the current oldest LTS version, which is
version 14. Browsers have been supporting these features for a long time
now, it's just Node.js that prevented us doing this before.
Some source code wasn't part of `FMT_PATHS` so wasn't checked for
correct formatting. This change includes all this source code and
excludes cgo/testdata because it contains files that can't be parsed.
