Previously VFS driver for UART could only use simple non-blocking
functions to read from and write to the UART. UART driver provides more
complex blocking and interrupt-driven functions, which can be used
instead.
This commit adds optional support for using UART driver's functions.
Also added is a more flexible mechanism for configuring newline
conversion rules on input and output.
This commit also fixes a bug that all UARTs shared one static variable
used as a character buffer in newline conversion code. This variable is
changed to be per-UART.
This change replaces direct links to GitHub master branch with
auto-generated links using docutils custom roles.
These auto-generated links point to the tree or blob for the git commit
ID (or tag) of the repository. This is needed to ensure that links don’t
become broken when files in master branch are moved around or deleted.
The following roles are introduced:
- :idf:`path` - points to directory inside ESP-IDF
- :idf_blob:`path` - points to file inside ESP-IDF
- :idf_raw:`path` - points to raw view of the file inside ESP-IDF
- :component:`path` - points to directory inside ESP-IDF components dir
- :component_blob:`path` - points to file inside ESP-IDF components dir
- :component_raw:`path` - points to raw view of the file inside ESP-IDF
components dir
- :example:`path` - points to directory inside ESP-IDF examples dir
- :example_blob:`path` - points to file inside ESP-IDF examples dir
- :example_raw:`path` - points to raw view of the file inside ESP-IDF
examples dir
A check is added to the CI build script, which searches RST files for
presence of hard-coded links (identified by tree/master, blob/master,
or raw/master part of the URL).
This check can be run manually: cd docs && make gh-linkcheck
Additionally, Sphinx linkcheck build type is used to create new CI test,
which check for broken links. This test has to be triggered explicitly,
because including it in normal build process (when the commit is not yet
deployed to Github) will not work. It can be triggered in a regular
fashion using a combination of cron and Curl, similar to stress tests.
