MicroPython and NimBLE must be on the same core, for synchronisation of the
BLE ringbuf and the MicroPython scheduler. However, in the current IDF
versions (3.3 and 4.0) there are issues (see e.g. #5489) with running
NimBLE on core 1.
This change - pinning both tasks to core 0 - makes it possible to reliably
run the BLE multitests on esp32 boards.
This commit adds several small items to improve the support for OTA
updates on an esp32:
- a partition table for 4MB flash modules that has two OTA partitions ready
to go to do updates
- a GENERIC_OTA board that uses that partition table and that enables
automatic roll-back in the bootloader
- a new esp32.Partition.mark_app_valid_cancel_rollback() class-method to
signal that the boot is successful and should not be rolled back at the
next reset
- an automated test for doing an OTA update
- documentation updates
Move webrepl support code from ports/esp8266/modules into extmod/webrepl
(to be alongside extmod/modwebrepl.c), and use frozen manifests to include
it in the build on esp8266 and esp32.
A small modification is made to webrepl.py to make it work on non-ESP
ports, i.e. don't call dupterm_notify if not available.
The IDF heap is more fragmented with IDF 4 and mbedtls cannot allocate
enough RAM with 16+16kiB for both in and out buffers, so reduce output
buffer size.
Fixes issue #5303.
When loading a manifest file, e.g. by include(), it will chdir first to the
directory of that manifest. This means that all file operations within a
manifest are relative to that manifest's location.
As a consequence of this, additional environment variables are needed to
find absolute paths, so the following are added: $(MPY_LIB_DIR),
$(PORT_DIR), $(BOARD_DIR). And rename $(MPY) to $(MPY_DIR) to be
consistent.
Existing manifests are updated to match.
Remove the 240MHz CPU config option from sdkconfig.base and create a new
sdkconfig.240mhz file for those boards that want to use 240MHz on boot.
The default CPU frequency is now 160MHz (was 240MHz), to align with the ESP
IDF and support more boards (eg those with D2WD chips).
Fixes issue #5169.
This prevents issues with concurrent access to the ringbuf.
MICROPY_BEGIN_ATOMIC_SECTION is only atomic to the same core. We could
address this with a mutex, but it's also not safe to call mp_sched_schedule
across cores.
This avoids a confusing ENOMEM raised from gap_advertise if there is
currently an active connection. This refers to the static connection
buffer pre-allocated by Nimble (nothing to do with MicroPython heap
memory).
This commit adds support for a second supported hash (currently set to the
4.0-beta1 tag). When this hash is detected, the relevant changes are
applied.
This allows to start using v4 features (e.g. BLE with Nimble), and also
start doing testing, while still supporting the original, stable, v3.3 IDF.
Note: this feature is experimental, not well tested, and network.LAN and
network.PPP are currently unsupported.
Replaces the `SDKCONFIG` makefile variable with `BOARD`. Defaults to
BOARD=GENERIC. spiram can be enabled with `BOARD=GENERIC_SPIRAM`
Add example definition for TINYPICO, currently identical to GENERIC_SPIRAM
but with custom board/SoC names for the uPy banner.
Auto-detection of the crystal frequency is convenient and allows for a
single binary for many different boards. But it can be unreliable in
certain situations so in production, for a given board, it's recommended to
configure the correct fixed frequency.
Configuration for the build is now specified using sdkconfig rather than
sdkconfig.h, which allows for much easier configuration with defaults from
the ESP IDF automatically applied. sdkconfig.h is generated using the new
ESP IDF kconfig_new tool written in Python. Custom configuration for a
particular ESP32 board can be specified via the make variable SDKCONFIG.
The esp32.common.ld file is also now generated using the standard ESP IDF
ldgen.py tool.
