This new series of MCUs is similar to the L4 series with an additional
Cortex-M0 coprocessor. The firmware for the wireless stack must be managed
separately and MicroPython does not currently interface to it. Supported
features so far include: RTC, UART, USB, internal flash filesystem.
The new configurations MICROPY_HW_USB_MSC and MICROPY_HW_USB_HID can be
used by a board to enabled or disable MSC and/or HID. They are both
enabled by default.
In a non-thread build, using &_ram_end as the top-of-stack is no longer
correct because the stack is not always at the very top end of RAM. See
eg 04c7cdb668 and
3786592097. The correct value to use is
&_estack, which is the value stored in MP_STATE_THREAD(stack_top), and
using the same code for both thread and non-thread builds makes the code
cleaner.
stm32lib now provides system_stm32XXxx.c source files for all MCU variants,
which includes SystemInit and prescaler tables. Since these are quite
standard and don't need to be changed, switch to use them instead of custom
variants, making the start-up code cleaner.
The SystemInit code in stm32lib was checked and is equivalent to what is
removed from the stm32 port in this commit.
Without this you often don't get any DNS server from your network provider.
Additionally, setting your own DNS _does not work_ without this option set
(which could be a bug in the PPP stack).
This is a start to make a more consistent machine.RTC class across ports.
The stm32 pyb.RTC class at least has the datetime() method which behaves
the same as esp8266 and esp32, and with this patch the ntptime.py script
now works with stm32.
If both FS and HS USB peripherals are enabled for a board then the active
one used for the REPL will now be auto-detected, by checking to see if both
the DP and DM lines are actively pulled low. By default the code falls
back to use MICROPY_HW_USB_MAIN_DEV if nothing can be detected.
When going out of memory-mapped mode to do a control transfer to the QSPI
flash, the MPU settings must be changed to forbid access to the memory
mapped region. And any ongoing transfer (eg memory mapped continuous read)
must be aborted.
The Cortex-M7 CPU will do speculative loads from any memory location that
is not explicitly forbidden. This includes the QSPI memory-mapped region
starting at 0x90000000 and with size 256MiB. Speculative loads to this
QSPI region may 1) interfere with the QSPI peripheral registers (eg the
address register) if the QSPI is not in memory-mapped mode; 2) attempt to
access data outside the configured size of the QSPI flash when it is in
memory-mapped mode. Both of these scenarios will lead to issues with the
QSPI peripheral (eg Cortex bus lock up in scenario 2).
To prevent such speculative loads from interfering with the peripheral the
MPU is configured in this commit to restrict access to the QSPI mapped
region: when not memory mapped the entire region is forbidden; when memory
mapped only accesses to the valid flash size are permitted.
When compiled with hard float the system should enable FP access when it
starts or else FP instructions lead to a fault. But this minimal port does
not enable (or use) FP and so, to keep it minimal, switch to use soft
floating point. (This became an issue due to the recent commit
34c04d2319 which saves/restores FP registers
in the NLR state.)
Change static LED functions to lowercase names, and trim down source code
lines for variants of MICROPY_HW_LED_COUNT. Also rename configuration for
MICROPY_HW_LEDx_LEVEL to MICROPY_HW_LEDx_PULLUP to align with global PULLUP
configuration.
Commit 9e68eec8ea introduced a regression
where the PID of the USB device would be 0xffff if the default value was
used. This commit fixes that by using a signed int type.
Entering a bootloader (ST system bootloader, or custom mboot) from software
by directly branching to it is not reliable, and the reliability of it
working can depend on the peripherals that were enabled by the application
code. It's also not possible to branch to a bootloader if the WDT is
enabled (unless the bootloader has specific provisions to feed the WDT).
This patch changes the way a bootloader is entered from software by first
doing a complete system reset, then branching to the desired bootloader
early on in the start-up process. The top two words of RAM (of the stack)
are reserved to store flags indicating that the bootloader should be
entered after a reset.
WIFI_REASON_AUTH_FAIL does not necessarily mean the password is wrong, and
a wrong password may not lead to a WIFI_REASON_AUTH_FAIL error code. So to
improve reliability connecting to a WLAN always reconnect regardless of the
error.
This updates ESP IDF to use v3.3-beta3. And also adjusts README.md to
point to stable docs which provide a link to download the correct toolchain
for this IDF version, namely 1.22.0-80-g6c4433a-5.2.0
Previously the end of the heap was the start (lowest address) of the stack.
With the changes in this commit these addresses are now independent,
allowing a board to place the heap and stack in separate locations.
With this the user can select multiple logical units to expose over USB MSC
at once, eg: pyb.usb_mode('VCP+MSC', msc=(pyb.Flash(), pyb.SDCard())). The
default behaviour is the original behaviour of just one unit at a time.
Eventually these responses could be filled in by a function to make their
contents dynamic, depending on the attached logical units. But for now
they are fixed, and this patch fixes the MODE SENSE(6) responses so it is
the correct length with the correct header.
SCSI can support multiple logical units over the one interface (in this
case over USBD MSC) and here the MSC code is reworked to support this
feature. At this point only one LU is used and the behaviour is mostly
unchanged from before, except the INQUIRY result is different (it will
report "Flash" for both flash and SD card).
To use it a board should define MICROPY_PY_USSL=1 and MICROPY_SSL_MBEDTLS=1
at the Makefile level. With the provided configuration it adds about 64k
to the build.
It doesn't work to tie the polling of an underlying NIC driver (eg to check
the NIC for pending Ethernet frames) with its associated lwIP netif. This
is because most NICs are implemented with IRQs and don't need polling,
because there can be multiple lwIP netif's per NIC driver, and because it
restricts the use of the netif->state variable. Instead the NIC should
have its own specific way of processing incoming Ethernet frame.
This patch removes this generic NIC polling feature, and for the only
driver that uses it (Wiznet5k) replaces it with an explicit call to the
poll function (which could eventually be improved by using a proper
external interrupt).
This adds support for SD cards using the ESP32's built-in hardware SD/MMC
host controller, over either the SDIO bus or SPI. The class is available
as machine.SDCard and using it can be as simple as:
uos.mount(machine.SDCard(), '/sd')
If the board-pin name is left empty then only the cpu-pin name is used, eg
",PA0". If the board-pin name starts with a hyphen then it's available as
a C definition but not in the firmware, eg "-X1,PA0".
The patch solves the problem where multiple Timer objects (e.g. multiple
Timer(0) instances) could initialise multiple handles to the same internal
timer. The list of timers is now maintained not for "active" timers (where
init is called), but for all timers created. The timers are only removed
from the list of timers on soft-reset (machine_timer_deinit_all).
Fixes#4078.
The board config option MICROPY_HW_USB_ENABLE_CDC2 is now changed to
MICROPY_HW_USB_CDC_NUM, and the latter should be defined to the maximum
number of CDC interfaces to support (defaults to 1).
Set the active MPU region to the actual size of SDRAM configured and
invalidate the rest of the memory-mapped region, to prevent errors due to
CPU speculation. Also update the attributes of the SDRAM region as per ST
recommendations, and change region numbers to avoid conflicts elsewhere in
the codebase (see eth usage).
I2C can't be enabled in prj_base.conf because it's a board-specific
feature. For example, if a board doesn't have I2C but CONFIG_I2C=y then
the build will fail (on Zephyr build system side). The patch here gets the
qemu_cortex_m3 build working again.
This enables going back to previous wrapped lines using backspace or left
arrow: instead of just sticking to the beginning of a line, the cursor will
move a line up.
On MCUs that have an I2C TIMINGR register, this can now be explicitly set
via the "timingr" keyword argument to the I2C constructor, for both
machine.I2C and pyb.I2C. This allows to configure precise timing values
when the defaults are inadequate.
Previously the hardware I2C timeout was hard coded to 50ms which isn't
guaranteed to be enough depending on the clock stretching specs of the I2C
device(s) in use.
This patch ensures the hardware I2C implementation honors the existing
timeout argument passed to the machine.I2C constructor. The default
timeout for software and hardware I2C is now 50ms.
Recent gcc versions (at least 9.1) give a warning about using "sp" in the
clobber list. Such code is removed by this patch. A dedicated function is
instead used to set SP and branch to the bootloader so the code has full
control over what happens.
Fixes issue #4785.
This also fixes deleting the PPP task, since eTaskGetState() never returns
eDeleted.
A limitation with this patch: once the PPP is deactivated (ppp.active(0))
it cannot be used again. A new PPP instance must be created instead.
This allows figuring out the number of bytes in the memoryview object as
len(memview) * memview.itemsize.
The feature is enabled via MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_MEMORYVIEW_ITEMSIZE and is
disabled by default.
The original code called setsockopt(SO_RCVTIMEO/SO_SNDTIMEO) with NULL
timeout structure argument, which is an illegal usage of that function.
The old code also didn't validate the return value of setsockopt, missing
the bug completely.
Before this change, if the USB was reconnected it was possible that some
characters in the TX buffer were retransmitted because tx_buf_ptr_out and
tx_buf_ptr_out_shadow were reset while tx_buf_ptr_in wasn't. That
behaviour is fixed here by retaining the TX buffer state across reconnects.
Fixes issue #4761.
The new function factory_reset_make_files() populates the given filesystem
with the default factory files. It is defined with weak linkage so it can
be overridden by a board.
This commit also brings some minor user-facing changes:
- boot.py is now no longer created unconditionally if it doesn't exist, it
is now only created when the filesystem is formatted and the other files
are populated (so, before, if the user deleted boot.py it would be
recreated at next boot; now it won't be).
- pybcdc.inf and README.txt are only created if the board has USB, because
they only really make sense if the filesystem is exposed via USB.
It's more common to need non-blocking behaviour when reading from a UART,
rather than having a large timeout like 1000ms (the original behaviour).
With a large timeout it's 1) likely that the function will read forever if
characters keep trickling it; or 2) the function will unnecessarily wait
when characters come sporadically, eg at a REPL prompt.
