This patch makes the following configuration changes:
- MICROPY_FSUSERMOUNT is disabled, removing old mounting infrastructure
- MICROPY_VFS is enabled, giving new VFS sub-system
- MICROPY_VFS_FAT is enabled, giving uos.VfsFat type
- MICROPY_FATFS_OO is enabled, to use new ooFatFs lib, R0.12b
User facing API should be almost unchanged. Most notable changes are
removal of os.mkfs (use os.VfsFat.mkfs instead) and pyb.mount doesn't
allow unmounting by passing None as the device.
The order now follows that in py/mpconfig.h and is a bit cleaner and easier
to maintain. No options were changed/added/removed with this patch, it's
just a reordering.
To use this feature a port should define MICROPY_HW_SPIFLASH_SIZE_BITS
along with x_CS, x_SCK, x_MOSI, x_MISO (x=MICROPY_HW_SPIFLASH). This will
then use external SPI flash on those pins instead of the internal flash.
The SPI is done using the software implementation. There is currently only
support for standard SPI (ie not dual or quad mode).
stmhal will now be built by default with frozen bytecode from scripts
stored in the stmhal/modules/ directory. This can be disabled or
changed to another directory by overridding the make variable
FROZEN_MPY_DIR.
Sys-tick resolution is 1ms and a value of 2 will give a delay between 1ms
and 2ms (whereas a value of 1 gives a delay between 0ms and 1ms, which is
too short).
The HAL_UART_Transmit function has changed in the latest HAL version such
that the Timeout is a timeout for the entire function, rather than a
timeout between characters as it was before. The HAL function also does
not allow one to reliably tell how many characters were sent before the
timeout (if a timeout occurred).
This patch provides a custom function to do UART transmission, completely
replacing the HAL version, to fix the above-mentioned issues.
There is a minor functional change with this patch, that the GPIO are now
configured in fast mode, whereas they were in high speed mode before. But
the SDIO should still work because SD CK frequency is at most 25MHz.
They are the same as the existing raw constants (namely 0, 1, 2) but we
want to explicitly show that one can use the HAL's constants if necessary
(eg the mpconfigboard.h files do use the HAL's constants to define the
pull state of certain configurable pins).
Without this the timer will have random values for its State and Lock
entries. The object can then be in a locked state leading to some HAL
functions returning immediately with an error code (which is unchecked).
This patch fixes such a bug which did manifest itself as PWM not working
correctly for LEDs.
mp_kbd_exception is now considered the standard variable name to hold the
singleton KeyboardInterrupt exception.
This patch also moves the creation of this object from pyb_usb_init() to
main().
This is a pure refactoring (and simplification) of code so that stmhal
uses the software SPI class provided in extmod, for the machine.SPI
implementation.
So long as a port defines relevant mp_hal_pin_xxx functions (and delay) it
can make use of this software SPI class without the need for additional
code.
