This allows:
$ make BOARD_DIR=path/to/board
to infer BOARD=board, rather than the previous behavior that required
additionally setting BOARD explicitly.
Also makes the same change for VARIANT_DIR -> VARIANT on Unix.

This RNG passes many of the Diehard tests and also the AIS31 test suite.
The RNG is quite slow, delivering 200bytes/s.
Tested on boards with and without a crystal.
It turned out that the result of calling ticks_us() was always either odd
or even, depending on some internal state during boot. So the us-counter
was set to a 2 MHz input and the result shifted by 1. The counting period
is still long enough, since internally a (now) 63 bit value is used for us.
By using the phase jitter between the DFLL48M clock and the FDPLL96M clock.
Even if both use the same reference source, they have a different jitter.
SysTick is driven by FDPLL96M, the us counter by DFLL48M. As a random
source, the us counter is read out on every SysTick and the value is used
to accumulate a simple multiply, add and xor register. According to tests
it creates about 30 bit random bit-flips per second. That mechanism will
pass quite a few RNG tests, has a suitable frequency distribution and
serves better than just the time after boot to seed the PRNG.
Allowing to increase the clock a little bit to 54Mhz. Not much of a gain,
but useful for generating a RNG entropy source from the jitter between
DFLL48M and FDPLL96M.
Remove two SPARKFUN_SAMD51_THINGS_PLUS pin definitions. There were
definitions of TXD and RXD, but these pins do not exist on the board. They
were only shown in the schematics.
Also remove any reference to LED_. This is just a text change, no
functional change.
For compatibility with other ports. Code increase up to ~1250 bytes for
SAMD21. The feature is configurable via MICROPY_PY_MACHINE_PIN_BOARD_CPU
in case flash memory is tight.
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.
This drops the `.cpu` directive from the ARM gchelper_*.s files. Having
this directive breaks the linker when targeting older CPUs (e.g. `-mthumb
-mthumb-interwork` for `-mcpu=arm7tdmi`). The actual target CPU should be
determined by the compiler options.
The exact CPU doesn't actually matter, but rather the supported assembly
instruction set. So the files are renamed to *_thumb1.s and *thumb2.s to
indicate the instruction set support instead of the CPU support.

Changes in this commit:
- Do not deinit IRQ when uart.deinit() is called with an inactive object.
- Remove using it for the finaliser. There is another machanism for soft
reset, and it is not needed otherwise.
- Do not tag the UART buffers with MP_STATE_PORT, it is not required.
Clearing the DRE flag for the transmit interrupt at the end of a
uart.write() also cleared the RXC flag disabling the receive interrupt.
This commit also changes the flag set/clear mechanism in the driver for SPI
as well, even if it did not cause a problem there. But at least it saves a
few bytes of code.
Applies to both SPI and I2C. The underflow caused high baudrate settings
resulting in the lowest possible baudrate. The overflow resulted in
erratic baudrates, not just the lowest possible.
If USB CDC is connected and the board sends data, but the host does not
receive the data, the device locks up. This is fixed in this commit by
having a timeout of 500ms, after which time the transmission is skipped.
Most of the content of README.md became obsolete and was replaced by the
documentation of MicroPython. Instead, README.md now shows build
instructions like the other ports.
Including the uasyncio scripts and the drivers for DHT, DS18x20 and
onewire. The uasyncio scripts need about 8k of flash and are not included
for the SAMD21 boards by default.
Protect SerCom (UART, SPI, I2C) objects from getting freed by the GC when
they go out of scope without being deinitialized. Otherwise the ISR of a
Sercom may access an invalid data structure.
Any update of freq or duty_cycle requires the previous PWM cycle to be
finished. Otherwise the new settings are not accepted.
Other changes in this commit:
- Report the set duty cycles even when the PWM is not yet started.
- pwm.freq(0) stops the pwm device, instead of raising an expception.
- Clear the duty cycle value cache on soft reset.
Changes are:
- Remove the LED_Pxxx definitions from pins.csv, now that the LED class is
gone.
- Remove the '-' lines.
- Add default lines for USB and SWCLK, SWDIO.
Pin numbers are now the MCU port numbers in the range:
PA0..PA31: 0..31
PB0..PB31: 32..63
PC0..PC31: 64..95
PD0..PD31: 96..127
Pins can be denoted by the GPIO port number, the name as defined in
pins.csv or a string in the form Pxnn, like "PA16" or "PD03".
The pins.c and pins.h files are now obsolete. The pin objects are part of
the AF table.
As result of a simplification, the code now supports using pin names or
numbers instead of pin objects for modules like UART, SPI, PWM, I2C, ADC,
pininfo.
This removes the difference in the time.ticks_us() range between SAMD21 and
SAMD51.
The function mp_hal_ticks_us_64() is added and used for:
- SAMD51's mp_hal_ticks_us and mp_hal_delay_us().
For SAMD21, keep the previous methods, which are faster.
- mp_hal_ticks_ms() and mp_hal_tick_ms_64(), which saves some bytes
and removes a potential race condition every 50 days.
Also set the us-counter for SAMD51 to 16 MHz for a faster reading of the
microsecond value.
Note: With SAMD51, mp_hal_ticks_us_64() has a 60 bit range only, which is
still a long time (~36000 years).
Methods implemented are:
- rtc.init(date)
- rtc.datetime([new_date])
- rtc.calibration(value)
The presence of this class can be controlled by MICROPY_PY_MACHINE_RTC. If
the RTC module is used, the time module uses the RTC as well.
For boards without a 32kHz crystal, using RTC makes no sense, since it will
then use the ULP32K oscillator, which is not precise at all. Therefore, it
will by default only be enabled for boards using a crystal, but can be
enabled in the respective mpconfigboard.h.
Using the stream method for uart.flush().
uart.txdone() returns True, if the uart not busy, False otherwise.
uart.flush() waits until all bytes have been transmitted or a timeout
triggers. The timeout is determined by the buffer size and the baud rate.
Also fix two inconsistencies when not using txbuf:
- Report in ioctl as being writeable if there is room in the tx buffer,
only if it is configured.
- Print the txbuf size if configured.
Instead of being hard-coded, and then it works for all MCUs.
That fits except for a Sparkfun SAMD51 Thing Plus (known) bug, which uses
192k - 4 as magic address. Therefore, that address is set as well to avoid
a problem when this bug is fixed by Sparkfun.
Which just sets the CPU clock to 200kHz and switches the peripheral clock
off. There are two modes:
machine.lightsleep(duration_ms)
and
machine.lightsleep()
In any mode any configured pin.irq() event will terminate the sleep.
Current consumption in lightsleep for some boards:
- 1.5 - 2.5 mA when supplied trough an active USB
(Seeed XIAO w/o power LED, Adafruit ItsyBitsy)
- 0.8 - 2 mA when supplied through Gnd/+5V (Vusb)
(Seeed XIAO w/o power LED, Adafruit ItsyBitsy)
- < 1 mA for SAMD51 when supplied trough a battery connector
(Sparkfun Thing SAMD51 plus)
Related change: move the calls to SysTick_Config() into set_cpu_freq(). It
is required after each CPU freq change to have ticks_ms run at the proper
rate.
Tested with a SD card connected to a SAMD51 board. The SEEED WIO terminal
has a SD-Card reader built-in.
Also a side change to remove a few obsolete lines from Makefile.
The range is 1MHz - 48 MHz. Note that below 8 MHz there is no USB support.
The frequency will be set to an integer fraction of 48 MHz. And after
changing the frequency, the peripherals like PWM, UART, I2C, SPI have to be
reconfigured.
Current consumption e.g. of the Seeed Xiao board at 1 MHz is about 1.5 mA,
mostly caused by the on-board LED (green LED with 1k resistor at 3.3V).
