If no block devices are defined by a board then storage support will be
disabled. This means there is no filesystem provided by either the
internal flash or external SPI flash. But the VFS system can still be
enabled and filesystems provided on external devices like an SD card.
Mboot is a custom bootloader for STM32 MCUs. It can provide a USB DFU
interface on either the FS or HS peripherals, as well as a custom I2C
bootloader interface.
These files provide no additional information, all the version and license
information is captured in the relevant files in these subdirectories.
Thanks to @JoeSc for the original patch.
This patch allows to use lwIP as the implementation of the usocket module,
instead of the existing socket-multiplexer that delegates the entire TCP/IP
layer to the NIC itself.
This is disabled by default, and enabled by defining MICROPY_PY_LWIP to 1.
When enabled, the lwIP TCP/IP stack will be included in the build with
default settings for memory usage and performance (see
lwip_inc/lwipopts.h). It is then up to a particular NIC to register itself
with lwIP using the standard lwIP netif API.
This patch adds the configuration MICROPY_HW_USB_ENABLE_CDC2 which enables
a new USB device configuration at runtime: VCP+VCP+MSC. It will give two
independent VCP interfaces available via pyb.USB_VCP(0) and pyb.USB_VCP(1).
The first one is the usual one and has the REPL on it. The second one is
available for general use.
This configuration is disabled by default because if the mode is not used
then it takes up about 2200 bytes of RAM. Also, F4 MCUs can't support this
mode on their USB FS peripheral (eg PYBv1.x) because they don't have enough
endpoints. The USB HS peripheral of an F4 supports it, as well as both the
USB FS and USB HS peripherals of F7 MCUs.
The documentation (including the examples) for elapsed_millis and
elapsed_micros can be found in docs/library/pyb.rst so doesn't need to be
written in full in the source code.
When disabled, the pyb.I2C class saves around 8k of code space and 172
bytes of RAM. The same functionality is now available in machine.I2C
(for F4 and F7 MCUs).
It is still enabled by default.
This driver uses low-level register access to control the I2C peripheral
(ie it doesn't rely on the ST HAL) and provides the same C-level API as the
existing F7 hardware driver.
On this 32-bit arch there's no need to use the long version of the format
specifier. It's only there to appease the compiler which checks the type
of the args passed to printf. Removing the "l" saves a bit of code space.
For a given IRQn (eg UART) there's no need to carry around both a PRI and
SUBPRI value (eg IRQ_PRI_UART, IRQ_SUBPRI_UART). Instead, the IRQ_PRI_UART
value has been changed in this patch to be the encoded hardware value,
using NVIC_EncodePriority. This way the NVIC_SetPriority function can be
used directly, instead of going through HAL_NVIC_SetPriority which must do
extra processing to encode the PRI+SUBPRI.
For a priority grouping of 4 (4 bits for preempt priority, 0 bits for the
sub-priority), which is used in the stm32 port, the IRQ_PRI_xxx constants
remain unchanged in their value.
This patch also "fixes" the use of raise_irq_pri() which should be passed
the encoded value (but as mentioned above the unencoded value is the same
as the encoded value for priority grouping 4, so there was no bug from this
error).
The problem is the existing code which tries to optimise the
reinitialisation of the DMA breaks the abstraction of the HAL. For the
STM32L4 the HAL's DMA setup code maintains two private vars (ChannelIndex,
DmaBaseAddress) and updates a hardware register (CCR).
In HAL_DMA_Init(), the CCR is updated to set the direction of the DMA.
This is a problem because, when using the SD Card interface, the same DMA
channel is used in both directions, so the direction bit in the CCR must
follow that.
A quick and effective fix for the L4 is to simply call HAL_DMA_DeInit() and
HAL_DMA_Init() every time.
ADC3 is used because the H7's internal ADC channels are connected to ADC3
and the uPy driver doesn't support more than one ADC.
Only 12-bit resolution is supported because 12 is hard-coded and 14/16 bits
are not recommended on some ADC3 pins (see errata).
Values from internal ADC channels are known to give wrong values at
present.
After calling HAL_SYSTICK_Config the SysTick IRQ priority is set to 15, the
lowest priority. This commit reconfigures the IRQ priority to the desired
TICK_INT_PRIORITY value.
By default the stm module is included in the build, but a board can now
define MICROPY_PY_STM to 0 to not include this module. This reduces the
firmware by about 7k.
To use HSE bypass mode the board should define:
#define MICROPY_HW_CLK_USE_BYPASS (1)
If this is not defined, or is defined to 0, then HSE oscillator mode is
used.
This patch allows a given board to configure which pins are used for the
CAN peripherals, in a similar way to all the other bus peripherals (I2C,
UART, SPI). To enable CAN on a board the mpconfigboard.h file should
define (for example):
#define MICROPY_HW_CAN1_TX (pin_B9)
#define MICROPY_HW_CAN1_RX (pin_B8)
#define MICROPY_HW_CAN2_TX (pin_B13)
#define MICROPY_HW_CAN2_RX (pin_B12)
And the board config file should no longer define MICROPY_HW_ENABLE_CAN.
The individual union members (like SPI, I2C) are never used, only the
generic "reg" entry is. And the union names can clash with macro
definitions in the HAL so better to remove them.
The only configuration that changes with this patch is that on L4 MCUs the
clock prescaler changed from ADC_CLOCK_ASYNC_DIV2 to ADC_CLOCK_ASYNC_DIV1
for the ADCAll object. This should be ok.
A value of DISABLE for EOCSelection is invalid. This would have been
interpreted instead as ADC_EOC_SEQ_CONV, but really it should be
ADC_EOC_SINGLE_CONV for the uses in this code. So this has been fixed.
ExternalTrigConv should be ADC_SOFTWARE_START because all ADC
conversions are started by software. This is now fixed.
This can be used to select the output buffer behaviour of the DAC. The
default values are chosen to retain backwards compatibility with existing
behaviour.
Thanks to @peterhinch for the initial idea to add this feature.
This patch moves the implementation of stream closure from a dedicated
method to the ioctl of the stream protocol, for each type that implements
closing. The benefits of this are:
1. Rounds out the stream ioctl function, which already includes flush,
seek and poll (among other things).
2. Makes calling mp_stream_close() on an object slightly more efficient
because it now no longer needs to lookup the close method and call it,
rather it just delegates straight to the ioctl function (if it exists).
3. Reduces code size and allows future types that implement the stream
protocol to be smaller because they don't need a dedicated close method.
Code size reduction is around 200 bytes smaller for x86 archs and around
30 bytes smaller for the bare-metal archs.
The main() function has a predefined type in C which is not so useful for
embedded contexts. This patch renames main() to stm32_main() so we can
define our own type signature for this function. The type signature is
defined to have a single argument which is the "reset_mode" and is passed
through as r0 from Reset_Handler. This allows, for example, a bootloader
to pass through information into the main application.
The Reset_Handler needs to copy the data section and zero the BSS, and
these operations should be as optimised as possible to reduce start up
time. The versions provided in this patch are about 2x faster (on a Cortex
M4) than the previous implementations.
Rather than pin objects themselves. The actual object is now pin_X_obj and
defines are provided so that pin_X is &pin_X_obj. This makes it so that
code that uses pin objects doesn't need to know if they are literals or
objects (that need pointers taken) or something else. They are just
entities that can be passed to the map_hal_pin_xxx functions. This mirrors
how the core handles constant objects (eg mp_const_none which is
&mp_const_none_obj) and allows for the possibility of different
implementations of the pin layer.
For example, prior to this patch there was the following:
extern const pin_obj_t pin_A0;
#define pyb_pin_X1 pin_A0
...
mp_hal_pin_high(&pin_A0);
and now there is:
extern const pin_obj_t pin_A0_obj;
#define pin_A0 (&pin_A0_obj)
#define pyb_pin_X1 pin_A0
...
mp_hal_pin_high(pin_A0);
This patch should have minimal effect on board configuration files. The
only change that may be needed is if a board has .c files that configure
pins.
This patch forces a board to explicitly define TEXT1_ADDR in order to
split the firmware into two separate pieces. Otherwise the default is now
to produce only a single continuous firmware image with all ISR, text and
data together.
This patch allows a particular board to independently specify the linker
scripts for 1) the MCU memory layout; 2) how the different firmware
sections are arranged in memory. Right now all boards follow the same
layout with two separate firmware section, one for the ISR and one for the
text and data. This leaves room for storage (filesystem data) to live
between the firmware sections.
The idea with this patch is to accommodate boards that don't have internal
flash storage and only need to have one continuous firmware section. Thus
the common.ld script is renamed to common_ifs.ld to make explicit that it
is used for cases where the board has internal flash storage.
Explicitly writing out the implementation of sys_tick_has_passed makes
these bdev files independent of systick.c and more reusable as a general
component. It also reduces the code size slightly.
The irq.h header is added to spibdev.c because it uses declarations in that
file (irq.h is usually included implicitly via mphalport.h but not always).
Taking the address assumes that the pin is an object (eg a struct), but it
could be a literal (eg an int). Not taking the address makes this driver
more general for other uses.
genhdr/pins.h is an internal header file that defines all of the pin
objects and it's cleaner to have pin.h include it (where the struct's for
these objects are defined) rather than an explicit include by every user.
The HAL requires strict aliasing optimisation to be turned on to function
correctly (at least for the SD card driver on F4 MCUs). This optimisation
was recently disabled with the addition of H7 support due to the H7 HAL
having errors with the strict aliasing optimisation enabled. But this is
now fixed in the latest stm32lib and so the optimisation can now be
re-enabled.
Thanks to @chuckbook for finding that there was a problem with the SD card
on F4 MCUs with the strict aliasing optimisation disabled.
The CMSIS files for the STM32 range provide macros to distinguish between
the different MCU series: STM32F4, STM32F7, STM32H7, STM32L4, etc. Prefer
to use these instead of custom ones.
This patch provides a custom (and simple) function to receive data on the
CAN bus, instead of the HAL function. This custom version calls
mp_handle_pending() while waiting for messages, which, among other things,
allows to interrupt the recv() method via KeyboardInterrupt.
This config variable controls whether to support storage on the internal
flash of the MCU. It is enabled by default and should be explicitly
disabled by boards that don't want internal flash storage.
It makes it cleaner, and simpler to support multiple different block
devices. It also allows to easily extend a given block device with new
ioctl operations.
This patch alters the SPI-flash memory driver so that it uses the new
low-level C SPI protocol (from drivers/bus/spi.h) instead of the uPy SPI
protocol (from extmod/machine_spi.h). This allows the SPI-flash driver to
be used independently from the uPy runtime.
This patch takes the software SPI implementation from extmod/machine_spi.c
and moves it to a dedicated file in drivers/bus/softspi.c. This allows the
SPI driver to be used independently of the uPy runtime, making it a more
general component.
