For esp32 and esp8266 this commit adds:
- a 'pm' option to WLAN.config() to set/get the wifi power saving mode; and
- PM_NONE, PM_PERFORMANCE and PM_POWERSAVE constants to the WLAN class.
This API should be general enough to use with all WLAN drivers.
Documentation is also added.
ESP-NOW is a proprietary wireless communication protocol which supports
connectionless communication between ESP32 and ESP8266 devices, using
vendor specific WiFi frames. This commit adds support for this protocol
through a new `espnow` module.
This commit builds on original work done by @nickzoic, @shawwwn and with
contributions from @zoland. Features include:
- Use of (extended) ring buffers in py/ringbuf.[ch] for robust IO.
- Signal strength (RSSI) monitoring.
- Core support in `_espnow` C module, extended by `espnow.py` module.
- Asyncio support via `aioespnow.py` module (separate to this commit).
- Docs provided at `docs/library/espnow.rst`.
Methods available in espnow.ESPNow class are:
- active(True/False)
- config(): set rx buffer size, read timeout and tx rate
- recv()/irecv()/recvinto() to read incoming messages from peers
- send() to send messages to peer devices
- any() to test if a message is ready to read
- irq() to set callback for received messages
- stats() returns transfer stats:
(tx_pkts, tx_pkt_responses, tx_failures, rx_pkts, lost_rx_pkts)
- add_peer(mac, ...) registers a peer before sending messages
- get_peer(mac) returns peer info: (mac, lmk, channel, ifidx, encrypt)
- mod_peer(mac, ...) changes peer info parameters
- get_peers() returns all peer info tuples
- peers_table supports RSSI signal monitoring for received messages:
{peer1: [rssi, time_ms], peer2: [rssi, time_ms], ...}
ESP8266 is a pared down version of the ESP32 ESPNow support due to code
size restrictions and differences in the low-level API. See docs for
details.
Also included is a test suite in tests/multi_espnow. This tests basic
espnow data transfer, multiple transfers, various message sizes, encrypted
messages (pmk and lmk), and asyncio support.
Initial work is from https://github.com/micropython/micropython/pull/4115.
Initial import of code is from:
https://github.com/nickzoic/micropython/tree/espnow-4115.
Rather than duplicating the implementation of `network`, this allows ESP32
to use the shared one in extmod. In particular this gains access to
network.hostname and network.country.
Set default hostnames for various ESP32 boards.
Other than adding these two methods and the change to the default hostname,
there is no other user-visible change.

The delay is 1 ms. It avoids the crashes reported by the
issues #8289, #8792 and #9236 with esp-idf versions >= 4.2, but does
not solve an underlying problem in the esp-idf.
Instead of being an explicit field, it's now a slot like all the other
methods.
This is a marginal code size improvement because most types have a make_new
(100/138 on PYBV11), however it improves consistency in how types are
declared, removing the special case for make_new.

Set the channel with esp_wifi_set_channel(), which adds support for setting
the channel of the STA interface
Get the channel with esp_wifi_get_channel() which returns the actual wifi
channel of the radio, rather than the configured channel.
Prior to this commit, running scan() without any APs available would give:

The WLAN.config() method now supports "ssid", "security" and "key" as
aliases to the existing "essid", "authmode" and "password", which are now
deprecated.
Addresses issue #8083.
To match network_lan.c and network_ppp.c, and make it clear what code is
specifically for WLAN support.
Also provide a configuration option MICROPY_PY_NETWORK_WLAN which can be
used to fully disable network.WLAN (it's enabled by default).
