This commit implements automatic module weak links for all built-in
modules, by searching for "ufoo" in the built-in module list if "foo"
cannot be found. This means that all modules named "ufoo" are always
available as "foo". Also, a port can no longer add any other weak links,
which makes strict the definition of a weak link.
It saves some code size (about 100-200 bytes) on ports that previously had
lots of weak links.
Some changes from the previous behaviour:
- It doesn't intern the non-u module names (eg "foo" is not interned),
which saves code size, but will mean that "import foo" creates a new qstr
(namely "foo") in RAM (unless the importing module is frozen).
- help('modules') no longer lists non-u module names, only the u-variants;
this reduces duplication in the help listing.
Weak links are effectively the same as having a set of symbolic links on
the filesystem that is searched last. So an "import foo" will search
built-in modules first, then all paths in sys.path, then weak links last,
importing "ufoo" if it exists. Thus a file called "foo.py" somewhere in
sys.path will still have precedence over the weak link of "foo" to "ufoo".
See issues: #1740, #4449, #5229, #5241.
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.
The specific board can be selected with the BOARD makefile variable. This
defaults (if not specified) to BOARD=GENERIC, which is the original default
firmware build. For the 512k target use BOARD=GENERIC_512K.
The stm32 and nrf ports already had the behaviour that they would first
check if the script exists before executing it, and this patch makes all
other ports work the same way. This helps when developing apps because
it's hard to tell (when unconditionally trying to execute the scripts) if
the resulting OSError at boot up comes from missing boot.py or main.py, or
from some other error. And it's not really an error if these scripts don't
exist.
As mentioned in #4450, `websocket` was experimental with a single intended
user, `webrepl`. Therefore, we'll make this change without a weak
link `websocket` -> `uwebsocket`.
Replaces "PYB: soft reboot" with "MPY: soft reboot", etc.
Having a consistent prefix across ports reduces the difference between
ports, which is a general goal. And this change won't break pyboard.py
because that tool only looks for "soft reboot".
The original behaviour of open-drain-high was to use the open-drain mode of
the GPIO pin, and this seems to make driving a DHT more reliable. See
issue #4233.
So that the user can explicitly deactivate UART(0) if needed. See
issue #4314.
This introduces some risk to "brick" the device, if the user disables the
REPL without providing an alternative REPL (eg WebREPL), or any way to
reenable it. In such a case the device needs to be erased and
reprogrammed. This seems unavoidable, given the desire to have the option
to use the UART for something other than the REPL.
Building axtls gives a lot of warnings with -Wall enabled, and explicitly
disabling all of them cannot be done in a way compatible with gcc and
clang, and likely other compilers. So just use -Wno-all to prevent all of
the extra warnings (in addition to the necessary -Wno-unused-parameter,
-Wno-uninitialized, -Wno-sign-compare and -Wno-old-style-definition).
Fixes issue #4182.
This patch in effect renames MICROPY_DEBUG_PRINTER_DEST to
MICROPY_DEBUG_PRINTER, moving its default definition from
lib/utils/printf.c to py/mpconfig.h to make it official and documented, and
makes this macro a pointer rather than the actual mp_print_t struct. This
is done to get consistency with MICROPY_ERROR_PRINTER, and provide this
macro for use outside just lib/utils/printf.c.
Ports are updated to use the new macro name.
machine.Timer now takes a new argument in its constructor (or init method):
tick_hz which specified the units for the period argument. The period of
the timer in seconds is: period/tick_hz.
For backwards compatibility tick_hz defaults to 1000. If the user wants to
specify the period (numerator) in microseconds then tick_hz can be set to
1000000. The user can also specify a period of an arbitrary number of
cycles of an arbitrary frequency using these two arguments.
An additional freq argument has been added to allow frequencies to be
specified directly in Hertz. This supports floating point values when
available.
This patch allows scripts to have more control over the software WDT. If
an instance of machine.WDT is created then the underlying OS is prevented
from feeding the software WDT, and it is up to the user script to feed it
instead via WDT.feed(). The timeout for this WDT is currently fixed and
will be between 1.6 and 3.2 seconds.
A flash erase/write takes a while and during that time tasks may be
scheduled via an IRQ. To prevent overflow of the task queue (and loss of
tasks) call ets_loop_iter() before and after slow flash operations.
Note: if a task is posted to a full queue while a flash operation is in
progress then this leads to a fault when trying to print out the error
message that the queue is full. This patch doesn't try to fix this
particular issue, it just prevents it from happening in the first place.
This function may be called from a UART IRQ, which may interrupt the system
when it is erasing/reading/writing flash. In such a case all code
executing from the IRQ must be in iRAM (because the SPI flash is busy), so
put mp_keyboard_interrupt in iRAM so ctrl-C can be caught during flash
access.
This patch also takes get_fattime out of iRAM and puts it in iROM to make
space for mp_keyboard_interrupt. There's no real need to have get_fattime
in iRAM because it calls other functions in iROM.
Fixes issue #3897.
