This board now has the following 3 build configurations:
- mboot + external QSPI in XIP mode + internal filesystem
- mboot + external QSPI with filesystem (the default)
- no mboot + external QSPI with filesystem
With a SPI flash that has more than 16MB, 32-bit addressing is required
rather than the standard 24-bit. This commit adds support for 32-bit
addressing so that the SPI flash commands (read/write/erase) are selected
automatically depending on the size of the address being used at each
operation.
This modifies the signature of mp_thread_set_state() to use
mp_state_thread_t* instead of void*. This matches the return type of
mp_thread_get_state(), which returns the same value.
`struct _mp_state_thread_t;` had to be moved before
`#include <mpthreadport.h>` since the stm32 port uses it in its
mpthreadport.h file.
PLLM is shared among all PLL blocks on F7 MCUs, and this calculation to
configure PLLSAI to have 48MHz on the P output previously assumed that PLLM
is equal to HSE (eg PLLM=25 for HSE=25MHz). This commit relaxes this
assumption to allow other values of PLLM.
Most types are in rodata/ROM, and mp_obj_base_t.type is a constant pointer,
so enforce this const-ness throughout the code base. If a type ever needs
to be modified (eg a user type) then a simple cast can be used.
This change has the following effects:
- Reduces the resolution of the RTC sub-second counter from 30.52us to
122.07us.
- Allows RTC.calibration() to now support positive values (as well as
negative values).
- Reduces VBAT current consumption in standby mode by a small amount.
For general purpose use 122us resolution of the sub-second counter is
good enough, and the benefits of full range calibration and minor reduction
in VBAT consumption are worth the change.
Instances of the slice class are passed to __getitem__() on objects when
the user indexes them with a slice. In practice the majority of the time
(other than passing it on untouched) is to work out what the slice means in
the context of an array dimension of a particular length. Since Python 2.3
there has been a method on the slice class, indices(), that takes a
dimension length and returns the real start, stop and step, accounting for
missing or negative values in the slice spec. This commit implements such
a indices() method on the slice class.
It is configurable at compile-time via MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_SLICE_INDICES,
disabled by default, enabled on unix, stm32 and esp32 ports.
This commit also adds new tests for slice indices and for slicing unicode
strings.
For the 3 ports that already make use of this feature (stm32, nrf and
teensy) this doesn't make any difference, it just allows to disable it from
now on.
For other ports that use pyexec, this decreases code size because the debug
printing code is dead (it can't be enabled) but the compiler can't deduce
that, so code is still emitted.
Most stm32 boards can now be built in nan-boxing mode via:
$ make NANBOX=1
Note that if float is enabled then it will be forced to double-precision.
Also, native emitters will be disabled.
- Corrected pin assignments and checked with CubeMX.
- Added additional I2C and UARTs.
- Added Ethernet interface definitions with lwIP and SSL support (but
Ethernet is currently unsupported on H7 MCUs so not fully enabled).
- Removed remarks on DFU/OCD in mpconfigboard.h because deploy-stlink works
fine too.
- Added more UARTs, I2C, corrected SPI, CAN, etc; verified against CubeMX.
- Adapted pins.csv to remove errors, add omissions, etc. according to
NUCLEO-144 User Manual.
- Changed linker file stm32f767.ld to reflect correct size of the Flash.
- Tested with LAN and SD card.
The Nucleo board does not have an SD card slot but does have the requisite
pins next to each other and labelled, so provide the configuration for
convenience.
The default protection for the BLE ringbuf is to use
MICROPY_BEGIN_ATOMIC_SECTION, which disables all interrupts. On stm32 it
only needs to disable the lowest priority IRQ, pendsv, because that's the
IRQ level at which the BLE stack is driven.
qstrs in this file are always included in all builds, even if not used
anywhere. So remove those that are never needed, and make USB names
conditional on having USB enabled.
And return -MP_EIO if calling storage_read_block/storage_write_block fails.
This lines up with the return type and value (negative for error) of the
calls to MICROPY_HW_BDEV_READBLOCKS (and WRITEBLOCKS, and BDEV2 versions).
The pyb.Flash() class can now be used to construct objects which reference
sections of the flash storage, starting at a certain offset and going for a
certain length. Such objects also support the extended block protocol.
The signature for the constructor is: pyb.Flash(start=-1, len=-1).
This commit refactors and generalises the boot-mount routine on stm32 so
that it can mount filesystems of arbitrary type. That is, it no longer
assumes that the filesystem is FAT. It does this by using mp_vfs_mount()
which does auto-detection of the filesystem type.
Using mp_hal_delay_ms allows the scheduler to run, which might result in
another transmit operation happening, which would bypass the sleep (and
fail). Use mp_hal_delay_us instead.
This commit removes the Makefile-level MICROPY_FATFS config and moves the
MICROPY_VFS_FAT config to the Makefile level to replace it. It also moves
the include of the oofatfs source files in the build from each port to a
central place in extmod/extmod.mk.
For a port to enabled VFS FAT support it should now set MICROPY_VFS_FAT=1
at the level of the Makefile. This will include the relevant oofatfs files
in the build and set MICROPY_VFS_FAT=1 at the C (preprocessor) level.
This commit adds an implementation of machine.Timer backed by the soft
timer mechanism. It allows an arbitrary number of timers with 1ms
resolution, with an associated Python callback. The Python-level API
matches existing ports that have a soft timer, and is used as:
from machine import Timer
t = Timer(freq=10, callback=lambda t:print(t))
...
t = Timer(mode=Timer.ONE_SHOT, period=2000, callback=lambda t:print(t))
...
t.deinit()
This commit adds an implementation of a "software timer" with a 1ms
resolution, using SysTick. It allows unlimited number of concurrent
timers (limited only by memory needed for each timer entry). They can be
one-shot or periodic, and associated with a Python callback.
There is a very small overhead added to the SysTick IRQ, which could be
further optimised in the future, eg by patching SysTick_Handler code
dynamically.
For consistency with "umachine". Now that weak links are enabled
by default for built-in modules, this should be a no-op, but allows
extension of the bluetooth module by user code.
Also move registration of ubluetooth to objmodule rather than
port-specific.
This commit implements automatic module weak links for all built-in
modules, by searching for "ufoo" in the built-in module list if "foo"
cannot be found. This means that all modules named "ufoo" are always
available as "foo". Also, a port can no longer add any other weak links,
which makes strict the definition of a weak link.
It saves some code size (about 100-200 bytes) on ports that previously had
lots of weak links.
Some changes from the previous behaviour:
- It doesn't intern the non-u module names (eg "foo" is not interned),
which saves code size, but will mean that "import foo" creates a new qstr
(namely "foo") in RAM (unless the importing module is frozen).
- help('modules') no longer lists non-u module names, only the u-variants;
this reduces duplication in the help listing.
Weak links are effectively the same as having a set of symbolic links on
the filesystem that is searched last. So an "import foo" will search
built-in modules first, then all paths in sys.path, then weak links last,
importing "ufoo" if it exists. Thus a file called "foo.py" somewhere in
sys.path will still have precedence over the weak link of "foo" to "ufoo".
See issues: #1740, #4449, #5229, #5241.
When loading a manifest file, e.g. by include(), it will chdir first to the
directory of that manifest. This means that all file operations within a
manifest are relative to that manifest's location.
As a consequence of this, additional environment variables are needed to
find absolute paths, so the following are added: $(MPY_LIB_DIR),
$(PORT_DIR), $(BOARD_DIR). And rename $(MPY) to $(MPY_DIR) to be
consistent.
Existing manifests are updated to match.
Prior to this commit the systick IRQ priority was set at lowest priority on
F0/L0/WB MCUs, because it was left at the default and never configured.
This commit ensures the priority is configured and sets it to the highest
priority.
On other ports (e.g. ESP32) they provide a complete Nimble implementation
(i.e. we don't need to use the code in extmod/nimble). This change
extracts out the bits that we don't need to use in other ports:
- malloc/free/realloc for Nimble memory.
- pendsv poll handler
- depowering the cywbt
Also cleans up the root pointer management.
STM32F0 has PCLK=48MHz and maximum ADC clock is 14MHz so use PCLK/4=12MHz
to stay within spec of the ADC peripheral. In pyb.ADC set common sampling
time to approx 4uS for internal and external sources. In machine.ADC
reduce sample time to approx 1uS for external source, leave internal at
maximum sampling time.
This commit adds the option to use HSE or MSI system clock, and LSE or LSI
RTC clock, on L4 MCUs.
Note that prior to this commit the default clocks on an L4 part were MSI
and LSE. The defaults are now MSI and LSI.
In mpconfigboard.h select the clock source via:
#define MICROPY_HW_RTC_USE_LSE (0) or (1)
#define MICROPY_HW_CLK_USE_HSE (0) or (1)
and the PLLSAI1 N,P,Q,R settings:
#define MICROPY_HW_CLK_PLLSAIN (12)
#define MICROPY_HW_CLK_PLLSAIP (RCC_PLLP_DIV7)
#define MICROPY_HW_CLK_PLLSAIQ (RCC_PLLQ_DIV2)
#define MICROPY_HW_CLK_PLLSAIR (RCC_PLLR_DIV2)
For use with F0 MCUs that don't have HSI48. Select the clock source
explicitly in mpconfigboard.h.
On the NUCLEO_F091RC board use HSE bypass when HSE is chosen because the
NUCLEO clock source is STLINK not a crystal.
Before this patch the UART baudrate on F0 MCUs was wrong because the
stm32lib SystemCoreClockUpdate sets SystemCoreClock to 8MHz instead of
48MHz if HSI48 is routed directly to SYSCLK.
The workaround is to use HSI48 -> PREDIV (/2) -> PLL (*2) -> SYSCLK.
Fixes issue #5049.
Enabled by default, but disabled when REPL is connected to the VCP (this is
the existing behaviour). Can be configured at run-time with, eg:
pyb.USB_VCP().init(flow=pyb.USB_VCP.RTS | pyb.USB_VCP.CTS)
The new fdcan.c file provides the low-level C interface to the FDCAN
peripheral, and pyb_can.c is updated to support both traditional CAN and
FDCAN, depending on the MCU being compiled for.
According to the schematic, the SDRAM part on this board is a
MT48LC4M32B2B5-6A, with "Row addressing 4K A[11:0]" (per datasheet). This
commit updates mpconfigboard.h from 13 to 12 to match.

Mboot currently requires at least three LEDs to display each of the four
states. However, since there are only four possible states, the states can
be displayed via binary counting on only 2 LEDs (if only 2 are available).
The existing patterns are still used for 3 or 4 LEDs.
As per PEP 485, this function appeared in for Python 3.5. Configured via
MICROPY_PY_MATH_ISCLOSE which is disabled by default, but enabled for the
ports which already have MICROPY_PY_MATH_SPECIAL_FUNCTIONS enabled.
Before this patch I2C transactions using a hardware I2C peripheral on F0/F7
MCUs would not correctly generate the I2C restart condition, and instead
would generate a stop followed by a start. This is because the CR2 AUTOEND
bit was being set before CR2 START when the peripheral already had the I2C
bus from a previous transaction that did not generate a stop.
As a consequence all combined transactions, eg read-then-write for an I2C
memory transfer, generated a stop condition after the first transaction and
didn't generate a stop at the very end (but still released the bus). Some
I2C devices require a repeated start to function correctly.
This patch fixes this by making sure the CR2 AUTOEND bit is set after the
start condition and slave address have been fully transferred out.
Some SD/MMC breakout boards don't support 4-bit bus mode. This adds a new
macro MICROPY_HW_SDMMC_BUS_WIDTH that allows each board to define the width
of the SD/MMC bus interface used on that board, defaulting to 4 bits.
The previous version did not work on MCUs that only had USB device mode
(compared to OTG) because of the handling of NAK. And this previous
handling of NAK had a race condition where a new packet could come in
before USBD_HID_SetNAK was called (since USBD_HID_ReceivePacket clears NAK
as part of its operation). Furthermore, the double buffering of incoming
reports was not working, only one buffer could be used at a time.
This commit rewrites the HID interface code to have a single incoming
buffer, and only calls USBD_HID_ReceivePacket after the user has read the
incoming report (similar to how the VCP does its flow control). As such,
USBD_HID_SetNAK and USBD_HID_ClearNAK are no longer needed.
API functionality from the user's point of view should be unchanged with
this commit.
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.
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.
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.
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.
