This allows TinyGo-built binaries to run under wasmtime, for example:
tinygo build -o test.wasm -no-debug -target=wasm examples/test
wasmtime run test.wasm 0
Thanks to Kyle Lemons for the inspiration and original design. The
implementation in this commit is very different however, building on top
of the software vectoring needed in RISC-V. The result is a flexible
interrupt handler that does not take up any RAM for configuration.
This might sound crazy, but I think it's better to enable the GC by
default to avoid surprises. It costs 1130 bytes of flash and 16 bytes of
RAM (plus heap overhead) so it's not exactly free, but if needed it can
easily be disabled with `-gc=leaking`. On the Uno (32kB flash, 2kB RAM)
that's not massive, on the DigiSpark (8kB flash, 0.5kB RAM) that may be
too much depending on the application.
This allows CGo code to call some libc functions. Additionally, by
putting memset/memmove/memcpy in an archive they're not included anymore
when not necessary, reducing code size for small programs.
On Windows, it is common that there is a colon in the path. avrdude will
treat that as a separator and everything behind it as the file format
specifier instead of defaulting to Intel hex format.
By explicitly specifying the Intel hex format (with `:i`), this issue
should be fixed.
This makes debugging on the HiFive1 rev B much easier:
tinygo gdb -target=hifive1b examples/echo
Using JLinkGDBServer as I couldn't figure out how to do it with OpenOCD.
This commit adds support for timer interrupts, replacing the busy loop
that was used before. It is perhaps the most simple interrupt to
implement and should serve as the basis for further interrupt support in
RISC-V.
Add a target for the Adafruit Circuit Playground Bluefruit, which is
based on the nRF52840. Adds the necessary code for the machine
package and the json and linker script files in the targets directory.
The machine package code is based on board_circuitplay_express.go,
with modifications made by consulting the wiring diagram on the
adafruit website here:
https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-circuit-playground-bluefruit/downloads
Also adds support to the uf2 conversion packacge to set the familyID
field. The Circuit Playground Bluefruit firmware rejects uf2 files
without the family id set to 0xADA52840 (and without the flag specifying
that the family id is present).
Now that we use LLVM 9, RISC-V support in LLVM has far fewer bugs and we
can avoid the GNU toolchain.
* replace GNU linker with lld
* replace GCC with clang
Additionally, RISC-V was promoted to stable so it can be enabled by
default in CI.
The .sdata and .sbss sections are created by the compiler, but were not
present in the linker script. That means that the linker put them after
all other data/bss section, which happens to be where the heap also
resides.
This commit adds the .sdata and .sbss sections to the linker script,
which gets the blinky examples to work again on RISC-V.
In my excitement to get the SoftDevice PR ready, I made two mistakes.
They're fixed in this commit.
* Add the `s132v6` build tag.
* Remove the (old) `ldscript` property.
This fixes the following issue:
https://github.com/aykevl/go-bluetooth/issues/1
This prevents it from being of type PROGBITS in lld 9, it should always
be NOBITS. It should fix the following error in lld 9:
ROM segments are non-contiguous
Setting the linker script as one property (instead of as part of the
generic ldflags property) allows it to be overriden.
This is important for the SoftDevice on Nordic chips, because the
SoftDevice takes up a fixed part of the flash/RAM and the application
must be flashed at a different position. With this linkerscript option,
it is possible to create (for example) a pca10040-s132v6 that overrides
the default linker script.
The name was cortex-m.s which looks like it is a generic assembly file
for all cortex-m targets. However, it really is only for qemu
simulation, because every chip has a slightly different interrupt vector
table.
This smartwatch doesn't have an on-board debugger, so I picked the one I
was using while getting this smartwatch to run Go programs (the J-Link
EDU Mini).
Instead of specifying explicit commands, most of these commands have
been replaced by more specific properties.
This is work that will be necessary for an eventual -programmer flag to
the compiler, with which it is possible to select which programmer to
use to flash or debug a chip. That's not very useful for boards that
already include a programmer or bootloader for that purpose, but is very
useful for novel boards or single-purpose boards that are not already
included in TinyGo.
Compared to the already supported stm32f103xx "bluepill" board this:
- features 128 KiB flash memory size ("RB" suffix) instead of 64 KiB, see `targets/stm32f103rb.ld`
- has onboard ST-LINK/V2-1 programmer and debugger requiring different OpenOCD configuration file
- uses USART2 connected to ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger as virtual COM port over USB for `putchar()`
- has a user-accessible button besides the reset button
This scheduler is intended to live along the (stackless) coroutine based
scheduler which is needed for WebAssembly and unsupported platforms. The
stack based scheduler is somewhat simpler in implementation as it does
not require full program transform passes and supports things like
function pointers and interface methods out of the box with no changes.
Code size is reduced in most cases, even in the case where no scheduler
scheduler is used at all. I'm not exactly sure why but these changes
likely allowed some further optimizations somewhere. Even RAM is
slightly reduced, perhaps some global was elminated in the process as
well.
Strings are emitted in .rodata sections, which are not yet mentioned in the linker script.
I can't exactly explain why it didn't work before, as these sections should have been included in .bss and thus properly aligned, but it appears to work reliably.
