As mentioned in #4450, `websocket` was experimental with a single intended
user, `webrepl`. Therefore, we'll make this change without a weak
link `websocket` -> `uwebsocket`.
Replaces "PYB: soft reboot" with "MPY: soft reboot", etc.
Having a consistent prefix across ports reduces the difference between
ports, which is a general goal. And this change won't break pyboard.py
because that tool only looks for "soft reboot".
Auto-detection of the crystal frequency is convenient and allows for a
single binary for many different boards. But it can be unreliable in
certain situations so in production, for a given board, it's recommended to
configure the correct fixed frequency.
Configuration for the build is now specified using sdkconfig rather than
sdkconfig.h, which allows for much easier configuration with defaults from
the ESP IDF automatically applied. sdkconfig.h is generated using the new
ESP IDF kconfig_new tool written in Python. Custom configuration for a
particular ESP32 board can be specified via the make variable SDKCONFIG.
The esp32.common.ld file is also now generated using the standard ESP IDF
ldgen.py tool.
When the ESP IDF builds a project it puts all separate components into
separate .a library archives. And then the esp32.common.ld linker script
references these .a libraries by explicit name to put certain object files
in iRAM.
This patch does a similar thing for the custom build system used here,
putting all IDF .o's into their respective .a. So a custom linker script
is no longer needed.
ISR's no longer need to be in iRAM, and the ESP IDF provides an option to
specify that they are in iRAM if an application needs lower latency when
handling them. But we don't use this feature for user interrupts: both
timer and gpio ISR routines are registered without the ESP_INTR_FLAG_IRAM
option, and so the scheduling code no longer needs to be in iRAM.
This aligns more closely with the hardware, that there are two, fixed HW
SPI peripherals. And it allows to recreate the HW SPI objects without
error, as well as create them again after a soft reset.
Fixes issue #4103.
In order to suit the more common 800KHz by default (instead of 400KHz), and
also have the same behaviour as the esp8266 port.
Resolves#4396.
Note! This is a breaking change. Anyone that has previously used the
NeoPixel class on an ESP32 board may be affected.
The ESP IDF system already provides a math library, and that one is likely
to be better tuned to the Xtensa architecture. The IDF components are also
tested against its own math library, so best not to override it. Using the
system provided library also allows to easily switch to double-precision
floating point by changing MICROPY_FLOAT_IMPL to MICROPY_FLOAT_IMPL_DOUBLE.
If there are many short reads to a socket in a row (eg by readline) then
releasing and acquiring the GIL each time will give very poor throughput.
So first poll the socket to see if it has data, and if it does then don't
release the GIL.
Otherwise, if multiple threads are active, printing data to the REPL may be
very slow because in some cases only one character is output per call to
mp_hal_stdout_tx_strn.
This is necessary for two reasons: 1) FreeRTOS still needs the TCB data
structure even after vPortCleanUpTCB has been called, so this latter hook
function cannot free the TCB, and there is no where else to safely delete
it (this behaviour has changed recently in the ESP IDF); 2) when using
external SPI RAM the uPy heap is in this external memory but the task stack
must be allocated from internal SRAM.
Fixes issue #3904.
Among other things, this requires putting bootloader object files in to
their relevant .a archive, so that they can be correctly referenced by the
ESP IDF's linker script.
machine.Timer now takes a new argument in its constructor (or init method):
tick_hz which specified the units for the period argument. The period of
the timer in seconds is: period/tick_hz.
For backwards compatibility tick_hz defaults to 1000. If the user wants to
specify the period (numerator) in microseconds then tick_hz can be set to
1000000. The user can also specify a period of an arbitrary number of
cycles of an arbitrary frequency using these two arguments.
An additional freq argument has been added to allow frequencies to be
specified directly in Hertz. This supports floating point values when
available.
Using direct register control as specified by ESP-IDF in
components/esp32/test/test_tsens.c. Temperature doesn't represent any
particular unit, isn't calibrated and will vary from device to device.
Prior to this patch there was a large latency for executing scheduled
callbacks when when Python code is sleeping: at the heart of the
implementation of sleep_ms() is a call to vTaskDelay(1), which always
sleeps for one 100Hz tick, before performing another call to
MICROPY_EVENT_POLL_HOOK.
This patch fixes this issue by using FreeRTOS Task Notifications to signal
the main thread that a new callback is pending.
