This patch overhauls the network driver interface. A generic NIC must
provide a set of C-level functions to implement low-level socket control
(eg socket, bind, connect, send, recv). Doing this, the network and
usocket modules can then use such a NIC to implement proper socket
control at the Python level.
This patch also updates the CC3K and WIZNET5K drivers to conform to the
new interface, and fixes some bugs in the drivers. They now work
reasonably well.
pyb.delay and pyb.udelay now use systick if IRQs are enabled, otherwise
they use a busy loop. Thus they work correctly when IRQs are disabled.
The busy loop is computed from the current CPU frequency, so works no
matter the CPU frequency.
The reason for having this delay is to reduce power consumption at the
REPL (HAL_Delay calls __WFI to idle the CPU). But stdin_rx_chr has a
__WFI in it anyway, so this delay call is not needed.
By removing this call, the readline input can consume characters much
more quickly (before was limited to 1000 chrs/s), and has much reduced
dependency on the specific port.
Also restrict higher frequencies to have a VCO_OUT frequency below
432MHz, as specified in the datasheet.
Docs improved to list allowed frequencies, and explain about USB
stability.
This is experimental support. API is subject to changes. RTS/CTS
available on UART(2) and UART(3) only. Use as:
uart = pyb.UART(2, 9600, flow=pyb.UART.RTS | pyb.UART.CTS)
This patch also enables non-blocking streams on stmhal port.
One can now make a USB-UART pass-through function:
def pass_through(usb, uart):
while True:
select.select([usb, uart], [], [])
if usb.any():
uart.write(usb.read(256))
if uart.any():
usb.write(uart.read(256))
pass_through(pyb.USB_VCP(), pyb.UART(1, 9600))
Improvements are:
2 ctrl-C's are now needed to truly kill running script on pyboard, so
make CDC interface allow multiple ctrl-C's through at once (ie sending
b'\x03\x03' to pyboard now counts as 2 ctrl-C's).
ctrl-C in friendly-repl can now stop multi-line input.
In raw-repl mode, use ctrl-D to indicate end of running script, and also
end of any error message. Thus, output of raw-repl is always at least 2
ctrl-D's and it's much easier to parse.
pyboard.py is now a bit faster, handles exceptions from pyboard better
(prints them and exits with exit code 1), prints out the pyboard output
while the script is running (instead of waiting till the end), and
allows to follow the output of a previous script when run with no
arguments.
This allows to implement KeyboardInterrupt on unix, and a much safer
ctrl-C in stmhal port. First ctrl-C is a soft one, with hope that VM
will notice it; second ctrl-C is a hard one that kills anything (for
both unix and stmhal).
One needs to check for a pending exception in the VM only for jump
opcodes. Others can't produce an infinite loop (infinite recursion is
caught by stack check).
TIM2_CH1_ETR is really bundling 2 functions to the same pin:
TIM2_CH1 (where its used as a channel)
TIM2_ETR (where iss used as an external trigger).
I fixed most of these a while back, but it looks like I missed this one.
Also make cc3k.send and cc3k.recv independent functions (not wrapped by
stream write/read). Also make wiznet5k.recv more memory efficient.
This might address issue #920.
UART object now uses a stream-like interface: read, readall, readline,
readinto, readchar, write, writechar.
Timeouts are configured when the UART object is initialised, using
timeout and timeout_char keyword args.
The object includes optional read buffering, using interrupts. You can set
the buffer size dynamically using read_buf_len keyword arg. A size of 0
disables buffering.
This makes open() and _io.FileIO() more CPython compliant.
The mode kwarg is fully iplemented.
The encoding kwarg is allowed but not implemented; mainly to allow
the tests to specify encoding for CPython, see #874
