If the board-pin name is left empty then only the cpu-pin name is used, eg
",PA0". If the board-pin name starts with a hyphen then it's available as
a C definition but not in the firmware, eg "-X1,PA0".
The board config option MICROPY_HW_USB_ENABLE_CDC2 is now changed to
MICROPY_HW_USB_CDC_NUM, and the latter should be defined to the maximum
number of CDC interfaces to support (defaults to 1).
Set the active MPU region to the actual size of SDRAM configured and
invalidate the rest of the memory-mapped region, to prevent errors due to
CPU speculation. Also update the attributes of the SDRAM region as per ST
recommendations, and change region numbers to avoid conflicts elsewhere in
the codebase (see eth usage).
On MCUs that have an I2C TIMINGR register, this can now be explicitly set
via the "timingr" keyword argument to the I2C constructor, for both
machine.I2C and pyb.I2C. This allows to configure precise timing values
when the defaults are inadequate.
Previously the hardware I2C timeout was hard coded to 50ms which isn't
guaranteed to be enough depending on the clock stretching specs of the I2C
device(s) in use.
This patch ensures the hardware I2C implementation honors the existing
timeout argument passed to the machine.I2C constructor. The default
timeout for software and hardware I2C is now 50ms.
Recent gcc versions (at least 9.1) give a warning about using "sp" in the
clobber list. Such code is removed by this patch. A dedicated function is
instead used to set SP and branch to the bootloader so the code has full
control over what happens.
Fixes issue #4785.
Before this change, if the USB was reconnected it was possible that some
characters in the TX buffer were retransmitted because tx_buf_ptr_out and
tx_buf_ptr_out_shadow were reset while tx_buf_ptr_in wasn't. That
behaviour is fixed here by retaining the TX buffer state across reconnects.
Fixes issue #4761.
The new function factory_reset_make_files() populates the given filesystem
with the default factory files. It is defined with weak linkage so it can
be overridden by a board.
This commit also brings some minor user-facing changes:
- boot.py is now no longer created unconditionally if it doesn't exist, it
is now only created when the filesystem is formatted and the other files
are populated (so, before, if the user deleted boot.py it would be
recreated at next boot; now it won't be).
- pybcdc.inf and README.txt are only created if the board has USB, because
they only really make sense if the filesystem is exposed via USB.
It's more common to need non-blocking behaviour when reading from a UART,
rather than having a large timeout like 1000ms (the original behaviour).
With a large timeout it's 1) likely that the function will read forever if
characters keep trickling it; or 2) the function will unnecessarily wait
when characters come sporadically, eg at a REPL prompt.
The alternate function pin allocations are different to other NUCLEO-144
boards. This is because the STM32F413 has a very high peripheral count:
10x UART, 5x SPI, 3x I2C, 3x CAN. The pinout was chosen to expose all
these devices on separate pins except CAN3 which shares a pin with UART1
and SPI1 which shares pins with DAC.
Includes:
- Support for CAN3.
- Support for UART9 and UART10.
- stm32f413xg.ld and stm32f413xh.ld linker scripts.
- stm32f413_af.csv alternate function mapping.
- startup_stm32f413xx.s because F413 has different interrupt vector table.
- Memory configuration with: 240K filesystem, 240K heap, 16K stack.
This patch makes pllvalues.py generate two tables: one for when HSI is used
and one for when HSE is used. The correct table is then selected at
compile time via the existing MICROPY_HW_CLK_USE_HSI.
On the STM32F722 (at least, but STM32F767 is not affected) the CK48MSEL bit
must be deselected before PLLSAION is turned off, or else the 48MHz
peripherals (RNG, SDMMC, USB) may get stuck without a clock source.
In such "lock up" cases it seems that these peripherals are still being
clocked from the PLLSAI even though the CK48MSEL bit is turned off. A hard
reset does not get them out of this stuck state. Enabling the PLLSAI and
then disabling it does get them out. A test case to see this is:
import machine, pyb
for i in range(100):
machine.freq(122_000000)
machine.freq(120_000000)
print(i, [pyb.rng() for _ in range(4)])
On occasion the RNG will just return 0's, but will get fixed again on the
next loop (when PLLSAI is enabled by the change to a SYSCLK of 122MHz).
Fixes issue #4696.
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.
This patch makes the DAC driver simpler and removes the need for the ST
HAL. As part of it, new helper functions are added to the DMA driver,
which also use direct register access instead of the ST HAL.
Main changes to the DAC interface are:
- The DAC uPy object is no longer allocated dynamically on the heap,
rather it's statically allocated and the same object is retrieved for
subsequent uses of pyb.DAC(<id>). This allows to access the DAC objects
without resetting the DAC peripheral. It also means that the DAC is only
reset if explicitly passed initialisation parameters, like "bits" or
"buffering".
- The DAC.noise() and DAC.triangle() methods now output a signal which is
full scale (previously it was a fraction of the full output voltage).
- The DAC.write_timed() method is fixed so that it continues in the
background when another peripheral (eg SPI) uses the DMA (previously the
DAC would stop if another peripheral finished with the DMA and shut the
DMA peripheral off completely).
Based on the above, the following backwards incompatibilities are
introduced:
- pyb.DAC(id) will now only reset the DAC the first time it is called,
whereas previously each call to create a DAC object would reset the DAC.
To get the old behaviour pass the bits parameter like: pyb.DAC(id, bits).
- DAC.noise() and DAC.triangle() are now full scale. To get previous
behaviour (to change the amplitude and offset) write to the DAC_CR (MAMP
bits) and DAC_DHR12Rx registers manually.
If MICROPY_HW_RTC_USE_BYPASS is enabled the RTC startup goes as follows:
- RTC is started with LSE in bypass mode to begin with
- if that fails to start (after a given timeout) then LSE is reconfigured
in non-bypass
- if that fails to start then RTC is switched to LSI
Use uos.dupterm for REPL configuration of the main USB_VCP(0) stream on
dupterm slot 1, if USB is enabled. This means dupterm can also be used to
disable the boot REPL port if desired, via uos.dupterm(None, 1).
For efficiency this adds a simple hook to the global uos.dupterm code to
work with streams that are known to be native streams.
These macros are unused, and they can conflict with other entities by the
same name. If needed they can be provided as static inline functions, or
just functions.
Fixes issue #4559.
To use HSI instead of HSE define MICROPY_HW_CLK_USE_HSI as 1 in the board
configuration file. The default is to use HSE.
HSI has been made the default for the NUCLEO_F401RE board to serve as an
example, and because early revisions of this board need a hardware
modification to get HSE working.
This demonstrates how to use external QSPI flash in XIP (execute in place)
mode. The default configuration has all extmod/ code placed into external
QSPI flash, but other code can easily be put there by modifying the custom
f769_qspi.ld script.
A board can now use the make variables TEXT0_SECTIONS and TEXT1_SECTIONS to
specify the linker sections that should go in its firmware. Defaults are
provided which give the existing behaviour.
Currently all usages of mp_hal_pin_config_alt_static() set the pin speed to
"high" (50Mhz). The SDRAM interface typically runs much faster than this
so should be set to the maximum pin speed.
This commit adds mp_hal_pin_config_alt_static_speed() which allows setting
the pin speed along with the other alternate function details.
A few RTC constants weren't being parsed properly due to whitespace
differences, and this patch makes certain whitespace optional. Changes
made:
- allow for no space between /*!< and EXTI, eg for:
__IO uint32_t IMR; /*!<EXTI Interrupt mask register, Address offset: 0x00 */
- allow for no space between semicolon and start of comment, eg for:
__IO uint32_t ALRMASSR;/*!< RTC alarm A sub second register, Address offset: 0x44 */
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".
Instead of checking each callback (currently storage and dma) explicitly
for each SysTick IRQ, use a simple circular function table indexed by the
lower bits of the millisecond tick counter. This allows callbacks to be
easily enabled/disabled at runtime, and scales well to a large number of
callbacks.
This is a good board to demonstrate the use of Mboot because it only has a
USB HS port exposed so the native ST DFU mode cannot be used. With Mboot
this port can be used.
If a custom bootloader is enabled (eg mboot) then machine.bootloader() will
now enter that loader. To get the original ST DFU loader pass any argument
to the function, like machine.bootloader(1).
With clock bypass enabled the attached SD card is clocked at the maximum
48MHz. But some SD cards are unreliable at these rates. Although it's
nice to have high speed transfers it's more important that the transfers
are reliable for all cards. So disable this clock bypass option.
This way the UART REPL does not need the MicroPython heap and exists
outside the MicroPython runtime, allowing characters to still be received
during a soft reset.
The new compile-time option is MICROPY_HW_USB_MAX_POWER_MA. Set this in
the board configuration file to the maximum current in mA that the board
will draw over USB. The default is 500mA.
The new compile-time option is MICROPY_HW_USB_SELF_POWERED. Set this
option to 1 in the board configuration file to indicate that the USB device
is self powered. This option is disabled by default (previous behaviour).
It can be that LSEON and LSERDY are set yet the RTC is not enabled (this
can happen for example when coming out of the ST DFU mode on an F405 with
the RTC not previously initialised). In such a case the RTC is never
started because the code thinks it's already running. This patch fixes
this case by always checking if RTCEN is set when booting up (and also
testing for a valid RTCSEL value in the case of using an LSE).
Without the static qualifier these objects will be kept by the linker even
if they are unused. So this patch saves some RAM when these features are
unused by a board.
On MCUs other than F4 the ORE (overrun error) flag needs to be cleared
independently of clearing RXNE, even though both are wired to trigger the
same RXNE IRQ. In the case that an overrun occurred it's necessary to
explicitly clear the ORE flag or else the RXNE interrupt will keep firing.
Otherwise IRQs may not be enabled for the user UART.irq() handler. In
particular this fixes the user IRQ_RXIDLE interrupt so that it triggers
even when there is no RX buffer.
The new option MICROPY_HW_SDCARD_MOUNT_AT_BOOT can now be defined to 0 in
mpconfigboard.h to allow SD hardware to be enabled but not auto-mounted at
boot. This feature is enabled by default to retain previous behaviour.
Previously, if an SD card is enabled in hardware it is also used to boot
from. While this can be disabled with a SKIPSD file on internal flash,
this wont be available at first boot or if the internal flash gets
corrupted.
This UART_HandleTypeDef is quite large (around 70 bytes in RAM needed for
each UART object) and is not needed: instead the state of the peripheral
held in its registers provides all the required information.
The pin alternate function information is derived from ST's datasheet
https://www.st.com/resource/en/datasheet/stm32l432kc.pdf
In the datasheet, the line 2 of AF4 includes I2C2 but actually the chip
does not have I2C2 so it is removed.
As per the machine.UART documentation, this is used to set the length of
the RX buffer. The legacy read_buf_len argument is retained for backwards
compatibility, with rxbuf overriding it if provided.
Also change the order of printing of flow so it is after stop (so bits,
parity, stop are one after the other), and reduce code size by using
mp_print_str instead of mp_printf where possible.
See issue #1981.
Prior to this commit the USB CDC used the USB start-of-frame (SOF) IRQ to
regularly check if buffered data needed to be sent out to the USB host.
This wasted resources (CPU, power) if no data needed to be sent.
This commit changes how the USB CDC transmits buffered data:
- When new data is first available to send the data is queued immediately
on the USB IN endpoint, ready to be sent as soon as possible.
- Subsequent additions to the buffer (via usbd_cdc_try_tx()) will wait.
- When the low-level USB driver has finished sending out the data queued
in the USB IN endpoint it calls usbd_cdc_tx_ready() which immediately
queues any outstanding data, waiting for the next IN frame.
The benefits on this new approach are:
- SOF IRQ does not need to run continuously so device has a better chance
to sleep for longer, and be more responsive to other IRQs.
- Because SOF IRQ is off, current consumption is reduced by a small amount,
roughly 200uA when USB is connected (measured on PYBv1.0).
- CDC tx throughput (USB IN) on PYBv1.0 is about 2.3 faster (USB OUT is
unchanged).
- When USB is connected, Python code that is executing is slightly faster
because SOF IRQ no longer interrupts continuously.
- On F733 with USB HS, CDC tx throughput is about the same as prior to this
commit.
- On F733 with USB HS, Python code is about 5% faster because of no SOF.
As part of this refactor, the serial port should no longer echo initial
characters when the serial port is first opened (this only used to happen
rarely on USB FS, but on USB HS is was more evident).
The macros are MICROPY_HEAP_START and MICROPY_HEAP_END, and if not defined
by a board then the default values will be used (maximum heap from SRAM as
defined by linker symbols).
As part of this commit the SDRAM initialisation is moved to much earlier in
main() to potentially make it available to other peripherals and avoid
re-initialisation on soft-reboot. On boards with SDRAM enabled the heap
has been set to use that.
Configuring clocks is a critical operation and is best to avoid when
possible. If the clocks really need to be reset to the same values then
one can pass in a slightly higher value, eg 168000001 Hz to get 168MHz.
This ensures that on first boot the most optimal settings are used for the
voltage scaling and flash latency (for F7 MCUs).
This commit also provides more fine-grained control for the flash latency
settings.
Power and clock control is low-level functionality and it makes sense to
have it in a dedicated file, at least so it can be reused by other parts of
the code.
On F7s PLLSAI is used as a 48MHz clock source if the main PLL cannot
provide such a frequency, and on L4s PLLSAI1 is always used as a clock
source for the peripherals. This commit makes sure these PLLs are
re-enabled upon waking from stop mode so the peripherals work.
See issues #4022 and #4178 (L4 specific).
This part is functionally similar to STM32F767xx (they share a datasheet)
so support is generally comparable. When adding board support the
stm32f767_af.csv and stm32f767.ld should be used.
The HAL DMA functions enable SDMMC interrupts before fully resetting the
peripheral, and this can lead to a DTIMEOUT IRQ during the initialisation
of the DMA transfer, which then clears out the DMA state and leads to the
read/write not working at all. The DTIMEOUT is there from previous SDMMC
DMA transfers, even those that succeeded, and is of duration ~180 seconds,
which is 0xffffffff / 24MHz (default DTIMER value, and clock of
peripheral).
To work around this issue, fully reset the SDMMC peripheral before calling
the HAL SD DMA functions.
Fixes issue #4110.
The flash-IRQ handler is used to flush the storage cache, ie write
outstanding block data from RAM to flash. This is triggered by a timeout,
or by a direct call to flush all storage caches.
Prior to this commit, a timeout could trigger the cache flushing to occur
during the execution of a read/write to external SPI flash storage. In
such a case the storage subsystem would break down.
SPI storage transfers are already protected against USB IRQs, so by
changing the priority of the flash IRQ to that of the USB IRQ (what is
done in this commit) the SPI transfers can be protected against any
timeouts triggering a cache flush (the cache flush would be postponed until
after the transfer finished, but note that in the case of SPI writes the
timeout is rescheduled after the transfer finishes).
The handling of internal flash sync'ing needs to be changed to directly
call flash_bdev_irq_handler() sync may be called with the IRQ priority
already raised (eg when called from a USB MSC IRQ handler).
MCUs that have a PLLSAI can use it to generate a 48MHz clock for USB, SDIO
and RNG peripherals. In such cases the SYSCLK is not restricted to values
that allow the system PLL to generate 48MHz, but can be any frequency.
This patch allows such configurability for F7 MCUs, allowing the SYSCLK to
be set in 2MHz increments via machine.freq(). PLLSAI will only be enabled
if needed, and consumes about 1mA extra. This fine grained control of
frequency is useful to get accurate SPI baudrates, for example.
A recent version of arm-none-eabi-gcc (8.2.0) will warn about unused packed
attributes in USB_WritePacket and USB_ReadPacket. This patch suppresses
such warnings for this file only.
The aim here is to have spi.c contain the low-level SPI driver which is
independent (not fully but close) of MicroPython objects and methods, and
the higher-level bindings are separated out to pyb_spi.c and machine_spi.c.
- Allow configuration by a board of autorefresh number and burst length.
- Increase MPU region size to 8MiB.
- Make SDRAM region cacheable and executable.
Requesting a baudrate of X should never configure the peripheral to have a
baudrate greater than X because connected hardware may not be able to
handle higher speeds. This patch makes sure to round the prescaler up so
that the actual baudrate is rounded down.
Prior to this patch, if VBAT was read via ADC.read() or
ADCAll.read_channel(), then it would remain enabled and subsequent reads
of TEMPSENSOR or VREFINT would not work. This patch makes sure that VBAT
is disabled for all cases that it could be read.
When waking from stop mode most of the system is still in the same state as
before entering stop, so only minimal configuration is needed to bring the
system clock back online.
A recent version of arm-none-eabi-gcc (8.2.0) will warn about unused packed
attributes in USB_WritePacket and USB_ReadPacket. This patch suppresses
such warnings for this file only.
Works with pins declared normally in mpconfigboard.h, eg. (pin_XX), as well
as (pyb_pin_XX).
Provides new mp_hal_pin_config_alt_static(pin_obj, mode, pull, fn_type)
function declared in pin_static_af.h to allow configuring pin alternate
functions by name at compile time.
The code was dereferencing 0x800 and loading a value from there, trying to
use a literal value (not address) defined in the linker script
(_ram_fs_cache_block_size) which was 0x800.
The period of the timer can now be specified using the "period" and
"tick_hz" args. The period in seconds will be: period/tick_hz. tick_hz
defaults to 1000, so if period is specified on its own then it will be in
units of milliseconds.
Prior to this patch, get_fattime() was calling a HAL RTC function with the
HW instance pointer as null because rtc_init_start() was never called.
Also marked it as a weak function, to allow a board to override it.
With this and previous patches the stm32 port can now be compiled using
object representation D (nan boxing). Note that native code and frozen mpy
files with float constants are currently not supported with this object
representation.
Prior to this patch, if both USB FS and HS were enabled via the
configuration file then code was included to handle both of their IRQs.
But mboot only supports listening on a single USB peripheral, so this patch
excludes the code for the USB that is not used.
Only one of pcd_fs_handle/pcd_hs_handle is ever initialised, so if both of
these USB peripherals are enabled then one of these if-statements will
access invalid memory pointed to by an uninitialised Instance. This patch
fixes this bug by explicitly referencing the peripheral struct.
This patch adds support to mboot for programming external SPI flash. It
allows SPI flash to be programmed via a USB DFU utility in the same way
that internal MCU flash is programmed.
Prior to this patch the QSPI driver assumed that the length of all data
reads and writes was a multiple of 4. This patch allows any length. Reads
are optimised for speed by using 32-bit transfers when possible, but writes
always use a byte transfer because they only use a single data IO line and
are relatively slow.
The DMA peripheral is limited to transferring 65535 elements at a time so
in order to send more than that the SPI driver must split the transfers up.
The user must be aware of this limit if they are relying on precise timing
of the entire SPI transfer, because there might be a small delay between
the split transfers.
Fixes issue #3851, and thanks to @kwagyeman for the original fix.
If the user button is held down indefinitely (eg unintenionally, or because
the GPIO signal of the user button is connected to some external device)
then it makes sense to end the reset mode cycle with the default mode of
1, which executes code as normal.
It's possible (at least on F4 MCU's) to have RXNE and STOPF set at the same
time during a call to the slave IRQ handler. In such cases RXNE should be
handled before STOPF so that all bytes are processed before
i2c_slave_process_rx_end() is called.
Due to buffering of outgoing bytes on the I2C bus, detection of a NACK
using the ISR_NACKF flag needs to account for the case where ISR_NACKF
corresponds to the previous-to-previous byte.
This patch renames the existing SPI flash API functions to reflect the fact
that the go through the cache:
mp_spiflash_flush -> mp_spiflash_cache_flush
mp_spiflash_read -> mp_spiflash_cached_read
mp_spiflash_write -> mp_spiflash_cached_write
The DFU USB config descriptor returns 0x0800=2048 for the supported
transfer size, and this applies to both TX (IN) and RX (OUT). So increase
the rx_buf to support this size without having a buffer overflow on
received data.
With this patch mboot in USB DFU mode now works with dfu-util.
MICROPY_PY_DELATTR_SETATTR can now be enabled without a performance hit for
classes that don't use this feature.
MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_NOTIMPLEMENTED is a minor addition that improves
compatibility with CPython.
They are now efficient (in runtime performance) and provide a useful
feature that's hard to obtain without them enabled.
See issue #3644 and PR #3826 for background.
The Wiznet5k series of chips support a MACRAW mode which allows the host to
send and receive Ethernet frames directly. This can be hooked into the
lwIP stack to provide a full "socket" implementation using this Wiznet
Ethernet device. This patch adds support for this feature.
To enable the feature one must add the following to mpconfigboard.mk, or
mpconfigport.mk:
MICROPY_PY_WIZNET5K = 5500
and the following to mpconfigboard.h, or mpconfigport.h:
#define MICROPY_PY_LWIP (1)
After wiring up the module (X5=CS, X4=RST), usage on a pyboard is:
import time, network
nic = network.WIZNET5K(pyb.SPI(1), pyb.Pin.board.X5, pyb.Pin.board.X4)
nic.active(1)
while not nic.isconnected():
time.sleep_ms(50) # needed to poll the NIC
print(nic.ifconfig())
Then use the socket module as usual.
Compared to using the built-in TCP/IP stack on the Wiznet module, some
performance is lost in MACRAW mode: with a lot of memory allocated to lwIP
buffers, lwIP gives Around 750,000 bytes/sec max TCP download, compared
with 1M/sec when using the TCP/IP stack on the Wiznet module.
It should be up to the NIC itself to decide if the network interface is
removed upon soft reset. Some NICs can keep the interface up over a soft
reset, which improves usability of the network.
Pins with multiple alt-funcs for the same peripheral (eg USART_CTS_NSS)
need to be split into individual alt-funcs for make-pins.py to work
correctly.
This patch changes the following:
- Split `..._CTS_NSS` into `..._CTS/..._NSS`
- Split `..._RTS_DE` into `..._RTS/..._DE`
- Split `JTDO_SWO` into `JTDO/TRACESWO` for consistency
- Fixed `TRACECK` to `TRACECLK` for consistency
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.
