This implements the orginal idea is that Signal is a subclass of Pin, and
thus can accept all the same argument as Pin, and additionally, "inverted"
param. On the practical side, it allows to avoid many enclosed parenses for
a typical declararion, e.g. for Zephyr:
Signal(Pin(("GPIO_0", 1))).
Of course, passing a Pin to Signal constructor is still supported and is the
most generic form (e.g. Unix port will only support such form, as it doesn't
have "builtin" Pins), what's introduces here is just practical readability
optimization.
"value" kwarg is treated as applying to a Signal (i.e. accounts for possible
inversion).
This patch allows esp8266 to use @micropython.native and
@micropython.viper function decorators. By default the executable machine
code is written to the space at the end of the iram1 region. The user can
call esp.set_native_code_location() to make the code go to flash instead.
If a port defines MICROPY_READER_POSIX or MICROPY_READER_FATFS then
lexer.c now provides an implementation of mp_lexer_new_from_file using
the mp_reader_new_file function.
Implementations of persistent-code reader are provided for POSIX systems
and systems using FatFS. Macros to use these are MICROPY_READER_POSIX and
MICROPY_READER_FATFS respectively. If an alternative implementation is
needed then a port can define the function mp_reader_new_file.
As long as a port implement mp_hal_sleep_ms(), mp_hal_ticks_ms(), etc.
functions, it can just use standard implementations of utime.sleel_ms(),
utime.ticks_ms(), etc. Python-level functions.
This type was used only for the typedef of mp_obj_t, which is now defined
by the object representation. So we can now remove this unused typedef,
to simplify the mpconfigport.h file.
To filter out even prototypes of mp_stream_posix_*() functions, which
require POSIX types like ssize_t & off_t, which may be not available in
some ports.
To start with, the critical scripts _boot.py and flashbdev.py are frozen
to improve performance and reduce RAM consumption.
Saves about 1000 bytes of heap RAM for a bare boot with filesystem.
These symbols are still defined in terms of the system Exxx symbols, and
can be switched to internal numeric definitions at a later stage.
Note that extmod/modlwip still uses many system Exxx symbols.
All functionality of the pyb module is available in other modules, like
time, machine and os. The only outstanding function, info(), is
(temporarily) moved to the esp module and the pyb module is removed.
