Damien George 38e7b842c6 ports: Implement simple write polling for stdout.
This is a best-effort implementation of write polling.  It's difficult to
do correctly because if there are multiple output streams (eg UART and USB
CDC) then some may not be writeable while others are.  A full solution
should also have a return value from mp_hal_stdout_tx_strn(), returning the
number of bytes written to the stream(s).  That's also hard to define.

The renesas-ra and stm32 ports already implement a similar best-effort
mechanism for write polling.

Fixes issue #11026.

Build Instructions

Before building the firmware for a given board the MicroPython cross-compiler must be built; it will be used to pre-compile some of the built-in scripts to bytecode. The cross-compiler is built and run on the host machine, using:

$ make -C mpy-cross

This command should be executed from the root directory of this repository. All other commands below should be executed from the ports/mimxrt/ directory.

An ARM compiler is required for the build, along with the associated binary utilities. The default compiler is arm-none-eabi-gcc, which is available for Arch Linux via the package arm-none-eabi-gcc, for Ubuntu via instructions here, or see here for the main GCC ARM Embedded page. The compiler can be changed using the CROSS_COMPILE variable when invoking make.

In addition newlib is required which is available for Arch Linux via the package arm-none-eabi-newlib, for Ubuntu/Debian install package libnewlib-arm-none-eabi

Next, the board to build must be selected. Any of the board names of the subdirectories in the boards/ directory is a valid board. The board name must be passed as the argument to BOARD= when invoking make.

All boards require certain submodules to be obtained before they can be built. The correct set of submodules can be initialised using (with SEEED_ARCH_MIX as an example of the selected board):

$ make BOARD=SEEED_ARCH_MIX submodules

Then to build the board's firmware run:

$ make BOARD=SEEED_ARCH_MIX

The above command should produce binary images in the build-SEEED_ARCH_MIX/ subdirectory (or the equivalent directory for the board specified).
