With clock bypass enabled the attached SD card is clocked at the maximum
48MHz. But some SD cards are unreliable at these rates. Although it's
nice to have high speed transfers it's more important that the transfers
are reliable for all cards. So disable this clock bypass option.
This way the UART REPL does not need the MicroPython heap and exists
outside the MicroPython runtime, allowing characters to still be received
during a soft reset.
The new compile-time option is MICROPY_HW_USB_MAX_POWER_MA. Set this in
the board configuration file to the maximum current in mA that the board
will draw over USB. The default is 500mA.
The new compile-time option is MICROPY_HW_USB_SELF_POWERED. Set this
option to 1 in the board configuration file to indicate that the USB device
is self powered. This option is disabled by default (previous behaviour).
It can be that LSEON and LSERDY are set yet the RTC is not enabled (this
can happen for example when coming out of the ST DFU mode on an F405 with
the RTC not previously initialised). In such a case the RTC is never
started because the code thinks it's already running. This patch fixes
this case by always checking if RTCEN is set when booting up (and also
testing for a valid RTCSEL value in the case of using an LSE).
Without the static qualifier these objects will be kept by the linker even
if they are unused. So this patch saves some RAM when these features are
unused by a board.
On MCUs other than F4 the ORE (overrun error) flag needs to be cleared
independently of clearing RXNE, even though both are wired to trigger the
same RXNE IRQ. In the case that an overrun occurred it's necessary to
explicitly clear the ORE flag or else the RXNE interrupt will keep firing.
Otherwise IRQs may not be enabled for the user UART.irq() handler. In
particular this fixes the user IRQ_RXIDLE interrupt so that it triggers
even when there is no RX buffer.
The new option MICROPY_HW_SDCARD_MOUNT_AT_BOOT can now be defined to 0 in
mpconfigboard.h to allow SD hardware to be enabled but not auto-mounted at
boot. This feature is enabled by default to retain previous behaviour.
Previously, if an SD card is enabled in hardware it is also used to boot
from. While this can be disabled with a SKIPSD file on internal flash,
this wont be available at first boot or if the internal flash gets
corrupted.
This UART_HandleTypeDef is quite large (around 70 bytes in RAM needed for
each UART object) and is not needed: instead the state of the peripheral
held in its registers provides all the required information.
The pin alternate function information is derived from ST's datasheet
https://www.st.com/resource/en/datasheet/stm32l432kc.pdf
In the datasheet, the line 2 of AF4 includes I2C2 but actually the chip
does not have I2C2 so it is removed.
As per the machine.UART documentation, this is used to set the length of
the RX buffer. The legacy read_buf_len argument is retained for backwards
compatibility, with rxbuf overriding it if provided.
Also change the order of printing of flow so it is after stop (so bits,
parity, stop are one after the other), and reduce code size by using
mp_print_str instead of mp_printf where possible.
See issue #1981.
Prior to this commit the USB CDC used the USB start-of-frame (SOF) IRQ to
regularly check if buffered data needed to be sent out to the USB host.
This wasted resources (CPU, power) if no data needed to be sent.
This commit changes how the USB CDC transmits buffered data:
- When new data is first available to send the data is queued immediately
on the USB IN endpoint, ready to be sent as soon as possible.
- Subsequent additions to the buffer (via usbd_cdc_try_tx()) will wait.
- When the low-level USB driver has finished sending out the data queued
in the USB IN endpoint it calls usbd_cdc_tx_ready() which immediately
queues any outstanding data, waiting for the next IN frame.
The benefits on this new approach are:
- SOF IRQ does not need to run continuously so device has a better chance
to sleep for longer, and be more responsive to other IRQs.
- Because SOF IRQ is off, current consumption is reduced by a small amount,
roughly 200uA when USB is connected (measured on PYBv1.0).
- CDC tx throughput (USB IN) on PYBv1.0 is about 2.3 faster (USB OUT is
unchanged).
- When USB is connected, Python code that is executing is slightly faster
because SOF IRQ no longer interrupts continuously.
- On F733 with USB HS, CDC tx throughput is about the same as prior to this
commit.
- On F733 with USB HS, Python code is about 5% faster because of no SOF.
As part of this refactor, the serial port should no longer echo initial
characters when the serial port is first opened (this only used to happen
rarely on USB FS, but on USB HS is was more evident).
The macros are MICROPY_HEAP_START and MICROPY_HEAP_END, and if not defined
by a board then the default values will be used (maximum heap from SRAM as
defined by linker symbols).
As part of this commit the SDRAM initialisation is moved to much earlier in
main() to potentially make it available to other peripherals and avoid
re-initialisation on soft-reboot. On boards with SDRAM enabled the heap
has been set to use that.
Configuring clocks is a critical operation and is best to avoid when
possible. If the clocks really need to be reset to the same values then
one can pass in a slightly higher value, eg 168000001 Hz to get 168MHz.
This ensures that on first boot the most optimal settings are used for the
voltage scaling and flash latency (for F7 MCUs).
This commit also provides more fine-grained control for the flash latency
settings.
Power and clock control is low-level functionality and it makes sense to
have it in a dedicated file, at least so it can be reused by other parts of
the code.
On F7s PLLSAI is used as a 48MHz clock source if the main PLL cannot
provide such a frequency, and on L4s PLLSAI1 is always used as a clock
source for the peripherals. This commit makes sure these PLLs are
re-enabled upon waking from stop mode so the peripherals work.
See issues #4022 and #4178 (L4 specific).
This part is functionally similar to STM32F767xx (they share a datasheet)
so support is generally comparable. When adding board support the
stm32f767_af.csv and stm32f767.ld should be used.
The HAL DMA functions enable SDMMC interrupts before fully resetting the
peripheral, and this can lead to a DTIMEOUT IRQ during the initialisation
of the DMA transfer, which then clears out the DMA state and leads to the
read/write not working at all. The DTIMEOUT is there from previous SDMMC
DMA transfers, even those that succeeded, and is of duration ~180 seconds,
which is 0xffffffff / 24MHz (default DTIMER value, and clock of
peripheral).
To work around this issue, fully reset the SDMMC peripheral before calling
the HAL SD DMA functions.
Fixes issue #4110.
The flash-IRQ handler is used to flush the storage cache, ie write
outstanding block data from RAM to flash. This is triggered by a timeout,
or by a direct call to flush all storage caches.
Prior to this commit, a timeout could trigger the cache flushing to occur
during the execution of a read/write to external SPI flash storage. In
such a case the storage subsystem would break down.
SPI storage transfers are already protected against USB IRQs, so by
changing the priority of the flash IRQ to that of the USB IRQ (what is
done in this commit) the SPI transfers can be protected against any
timeouts triggering a cache flush (the cache flush would be postponed until
after the transfer finished, but note that in the case of SPI writes the
timeout is rescheduled after the transfer finishes).
The handling of internal flash sync'ing needs to be changed to directly
call flash_bdev_irq_handler() sync may be called with the IRQ priority
already raised (eg when called from a USB MSC IRQ handler).
MCUs that have a PLLSAI can use it to generate a 48MHz clock for USB, SDIO
and RNG peripherals. In such cases the SYSCLK is not restricted to values
that allow the system PLL to generate 48MHz, but can be any frequency.
This patch allows such configurability for F7 MCUs, allowing the SYSCLK to
be set in 2MHz increments via machine.freq(). PLLSAI will only be enabled
if needed, and consumes about 1mA extra. This fine grained control of
frequency is useful to get accurate SPI baudrates, for example.
A recent version of arm-none-eabi-gcc (8.2.0) will warn about unused packed
attributes in USB_WritePacket and USB_ReadPacket. This patch suppresses
such warnings for this file only.
The aim here is to have spi.c contain the low-level SPI driver which is
independent (not fully but close) of MicroPython objects and methods, and
the higher-level bindings are separated out to pyb_spi.c and machine_spi.c.
- Allow configuration by a board of autorefresh number and burst length.
- Increase MPU region size to 8MiB.
- Make SDRAM region cacheable and executable.
Requesting a baudrate of X should never configure the peripheral to have a
baudrate greater than X because connected hardware may not be able to
handle higher speeds. This patch makes sure to round the prescaler up so
that the actual baudrate is rounded down.
Prior to this patch, if VBAT was read via ADC.read() or
ADCAll.read_channel(), then it would remain enabled and subsequent reads
of TEMPSENSOR or VREFINT would not work. This patch makes sure that VBAT
is disabled for all cases that it could be read.
When waking from stop mode most of the system is still in the same state as
before entering stop, so only minimal configuration is needed to bring the
system clock back online.
A recent version of arm-none-eabi-gcc (8.2.0) will warn about unused packed
attributes in USB_WritePacket and USB_ReadPacket. This patch suppresses
such warnings for this file only.
Works with pins declared normally in mpconfigboard.h, eg. (pin_XX), as well
as (pyb_pin_XX).
Provides new mp_hal_pin_config_alt_static(pin_obj, mode, pull, fn_type)
function declared in pin_static_af.h to allow configuring pin alternate
functions by name at compile time.
The code was dereferencing 0x800 and loading a value from there, trying to
use a literal value (not address) defined in the linker script
(_ram_fs_cache_block_size) which was 0x800.
The period of the timer can now be specified using the "period" and
"tick_hz" args. The period in seconds will be: period/tick_hz. tick_hz
defaults to 1000, so if period is specified on its own then it will be in
units of milliseconds.
Prior to this patch, get_fattime() was calling a HAL RTC function with the
HW instance pointer as null because rtc_init_start() was never called.
Also marked it as a weak function, to allow a board to override it.
With this and previous patches the stm32 port can now be compiled using
object representation D (nan boxing). Note that native code and frozen mpy
files with float constants are currently not supported with this object
representation.
Prior to this patch, if both USB FS and HS were enabled via the
configuration file then code was included to handle both of their IRQs.
But mboot only supports listening on a single USB peripheral, so this patch
excludes the code for the USB that is not used.
Only one of pcd_fs_handle/pcd_hs_handle is ever initialised, so if both of
these USB peripherals are enabled then one of these if-statements will
access invalid memory pointed to by an uninitialised Instance. This patch
fixes this bug by explicitly referencing the peripheral struct.
This patch adds support to mboot for programming external SPI flash. It
allows SPI flash to be programmed via a USB DFU utility in the same way
that internal MCU flash is programmed.
Prior to this patch the QSPI driver assumed that the length of all data
reads and writes was a multiple of 4. This patch allows any length. Reads
are optimised for speed by using 32-bit transfers when possible, but writes
always use a byte transfer because they only use a single data IO line and
are relatively slow.
The DMA peripheral is limited to transferring 65535 elements at a time so
in order to send more than that the SPI driver must split the transfers up.
The user must be aware of this limit if they are relying on precise timing
of the entire SPI transfer, because there might be a small delay between
the split transfers.
Fixes issue #3851, and thanks to @kwagyeman for the original fix.
If the user button is held down indefinitely (eg unintenionally, or because
the GPIO signal of the user button is connected to some external device)
then it makes sense to end the reset mode cycle with the default mode of
1, which executes code as normal.
It's possible (at least on F4 MCU's) to have RXNE and STOPF set at the same
time during a call to the slave IRQ handler. In such cases RXNE should be
handled before STOPF so that all bytes are processed before
i2c_slave_process_rx_end() is called.
Due to buffering of outgoing bytes on the I2C bus, detection of a NACK
using the ISR_NACKF flag needs to account for the case where ISR_NACKF
corresponds to the previous-to-previous byte.
This patch renames the existing SPI flash API functions to reflect the fact
that the go through the cache:
mp_spiflash_flush -> mp_spiflash_cache_flush
mp_spiflash_read -> mp_spiflash_cached_read
mp_spiflash_write -> mp_spiflash_cached_write
The DFU USB config descriptor returns 0x0800=2048 for the supported
transfer size, and this applies to both TX (IN) and RX (OUT). So increase
the rx_buf to support this size without having a buffer overflow on
received data.
With this patch mboot in USB DFU mode now works with dfu-util.
MICROPY_PY_DELATTR_SETATTR can now be enabled without a performance hit for
classes that don't use this feature.
MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_NOTIMPLEMENTED is a minor addition that improves
compatibility with CPython.
They are now efficient (in runtime performance) and provide a useful
feature that's hard to obtain without them enabled.
See issue #3644 and PR #3826 for background.
The Wiznet5k series of chips support a MACRAW mode which allows the host to
send and receive Ethernet frames directly. This can be hooked into the
lwIP stack to provide a full "socket" implementation using this Wiznet
Ethernet device. This patch adds support for this feature.
To enable the feature one must add the following to mpconfigboard.mk, or
mpconfigport.mk:
MICROPY_PY_WIZNET5K = 5500
and the following to mpconfigboard.h, or mpconfigport.h:
#define MICROPY_PY_LWIP (1)
After wiring up the module (X5=CS, X4=RST), usage on a pyboard is:
import time, network
nic = network.WIZNET5K(pyb.SPI(1), pyb.Pin.board.X5, pyb.Pin.board.X4)
nic.active(1)
while not nic.isconnected():
time.sleep_ms(50) # needed to poll the NIC
print(nic.ifconfig())
Then use the socket module as usual.
Compared to using the built-in TCP/IP stack on the Wiznet module, some
performance is lost in MACRAW mode: with a lot of memory allocated to lwIP
buffers, lwIP gives Around 750,000 bytes/sec max TCP download, compared
with 1M/sec when using the TCP/IP stack on the Wiznet module.
It should be up to the NIC itself to decide if the network interface is
removed upon soft reset. Some NICs can keep the interface up over a soft
reset, which improves usability of the network.
