Before, both uwTick and mp_hal_ticks_ms() were used as clock source. That
assumes, that these two are synchronous and start with the same value,
which may be not the case for all ports. If the lag between uwTick and
mp_hal_ticks_ms() is larger than the timer interval, the timer would either
rush up until the times are synchronous, or not start until uwTick wraps
over.
As suggested by @dpgeorge, MICROPY_SOFT_TIMER_TICKS_MS is now used in
softtimer.c, which has to be defined in a port's mpconfigport.h with
the variable that holds the SysTick counter.
Note that it's not possible to switch everything in softtimer.c to use
mp_hal_ticks_ms() because the logic in SysTick_Handler that schedules
soft_timer_handler() uses (eg on mimxrt) the uwTick variable directly
(named systick_ms there), and mp_hal_ticks_ms() uses a different source
timer. Thus it is made fully configurable.
Changes are:
- Set the feature level for each MCU: CORE features for SAMD21, and EXTRA
features for SAMD51.
- Remove all definitions that are included in the core feature level.
- Keep the default settings for feature level and float, to make the choice
obvious.
The SAMD21 implementation is an adaption of @jimmo's code for STM32Lxx.
The only changes are the addresses and names of the port registers and the
timing parameters.
SAMD21: The precision is about +/-25ns at 48MHz clock frequency. The first
two cycles are about 40-60 ns longer than set. But still good enough to
drive a neopixel device.
SAMD51: The precision is about +/-30ns at 120MHz clock frequency. Good
enough to drive a neopixel device.
All board pins that have UART's assigned can be used. Baud rate range is
75 Baud to ~2 MBaud.
No flow control yet, and only RX is buffered. TX buffer and flow control
may be added later for SAMD51 with its larger RAM and Flash.
Its API conforms to the docs. There are 16 IRQ channels available, which
will be used as assignable to the GPIO numbers. In most cases, the irq
channel is GPIO_no % 16.
Features are:
- 3 to 5 different frequency groups.
- Freq range of 1Hz - 24 MHz.
- Duty rate stays stable on freq change.
Keyword options to the PWM constructor:
- device=n Select a specific PWM device. If no device is specified, a free
device is chosen, if available at that pin.
- freq=nnnn
- duty_u16=nnnn
- duty_ns=nnnn
- invert=True/False Allowing two outputs on the same device/channel to have
complementary signals.
If both freq and duty are provided, PWM output will start immediately.
Pins at the same device have the same frequency. If the PWM output number
exceeds the number of channels at the PWM device, the effctive channel_no
is output_no % channel_count. So with a channel count of 4, output 7 is
assigned to channel 3. Pins at a certain channel have the same frequency
and duty rate, but may be seperately inverted.
Since commit e65d1e69e8 there is no longer an
io.FileIO class, so this option is no longer needed.
This option also controlled whether or not files supported being opened in
binary mode (eg 'rb'), and could, if disabled, lead to confusion as to why
opening a file in binary mode silently did the wrong thing (it would just
open in text mode if MICROPY_PY_IO_FILEIO was disabled).
The various VFS implementations (POSIX, FAT, LFS) were the only places
where enabling this option made a difference, and in almost all cases where
one of these filesystems were enabled, MICROPY_PY_IO_FILEIO was also
enabled. So it makes sense to just unconditionally enable this feature
(ability to open a file in binary mode) in all cases, and so just remove
this config option altogether. That makes configuration simpler and means
binary file support always exists (and opening a file in binary mode is
arguably more fundamental than opening in text mode, so if anything should
be configurable then it should be the ability to open in text mode).

These were added in Python 3.5.
Enabled via MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_BYTES_HEX, and enabled by default for all
ports that currently have ubinascii.
Rework ubinascii to use the implementation of these methods.

This uses MP_REGISTER_ROOT_POINTER() to register the readline_history root
pointer array used by shared/readline.c and removes the registration from
all mpconfigport.h files.
This also required adding a new MICROPY_READLINE_HISTORY_SIZE config option
since not all ports used the same sized array.

For ports with MICROPY_VFS and MICROPY_PY_IO enabled their configuration
can now be simplified to use the defaults for mp_import_stat and
mp_builtin_open.
This commit makes no functional change, except for the following minor
points:
- the built-in "open" is removed from the minimal port (it previously did
nothing)
- the duplicate built-in "input" is removed from the esp32 port
- qemu-arm now delegates to VFS import/open

The inclusion of `umachine` in the list of built-in modules is now done
centrally in py/objmodule.c. Enabling MICROPY_PY_MACHINE will include this
module.
As part of this, all ports now have `umachine` as the core module name
(previously some had only `machine` as the name).

- Makefile: update to use new ASF4 files, support frozen manifest, and
include source files in upcoming commits
- boards/manifest.py: add files to freeze
- boards/samd51p19a.ld: add linker script for this MCU
- help.c: add custom help text
- main.c: execute _boot.py, boot.py and main.py on start-up
- modules/_boot.py: startup file to freeze
- modutime.c: add gmtime, localtime, mktime, time functions
- mpconfigport.h: enabled more features for sys and io and modules
- mphalport.h: add mp_hal_pin_xxx macros
- mphalport.c: add mp_hal_stdio_poll
To simplify config, there's no need to specify MP_PLAT_PRINT_STRN if it's
the same as the default definition in py/mpconfig.h.

Previous behaviour is when this argument is set to "true", in which case
the function will raise any pending exception. Setting it to "false" will
cancel any pending exception.
