Because (for Thumb) a function pointer has the LSB set, pointers to
dynamic functions in RAM (eg native, viper or asm functions) were not
being traced by the GC. This patch is a comprehensive fix for this.
Addresses issue #820.
It's still "safe" because no scripts are run. Remove the SD card if you
want to access the internal flash filesystem. Addresses issue #616.
Also: remove obsolete pyb.source_dir setting, and reset pyb.main and
pyb.usb_mode settings on soft-reset.
Converts generted pins to use qstrs instead of string pointers.
This patch also adds the following functions:
pyb.Pin.names()
pyb.Pin.af_list()
pyb.Pin.gpio()
dir(pyb.Pin.board) and dir(pyb.Pin.cpu) also produce useful results.
pyb.Pin now takes kw args.
pyb.Pin.__str__ now prints more useful information about the pin
configuration.
I found the following functions in my boot.py to be useful:
```python
def pins():
for pin_name in dir(pyb.Pin.board):
pin = pyb.Pin(pin_name)
print('{:10s} {:s}'.format(pin_name, str(pin)))
def af():
for pin_name in dir(pyb.Pin.board):
pin = pyb.Pin(pin_name)
print('{:10s} {:s}'.format(pin_name, str(pin.af_list())))
```
This patch updates ST's HAL to the latest version, V1.3.0, dated 19 June
2014. Files were copied verbatim from the ST package. Only change was
to suppress compiler warning of unused variables in 4 places.
A lot of the changes from ST are cosmetic: comments and white space.
Some small code changes here and there, and addition of F411 header.
Main code change is how SysTick interrupt is set: it now has a
configuration variable to set the priority, so we no longer need to work
around this (originall in system_stm32f4xx.c).
Make a clearer distinction between init functions that must be done
before any scripts can run (xxx_init0) and those that can be safely
deferred (xxx_init).
Fix bug initialising USB VCP exception. Addresses issue #788.
Re-order some init function to improve reliability of
reset/soft-reset.
qstr_init is always called exactly before mp_init, so makes sense to
just have mp_init call it. Similarly with
mp_init_emergency_exception_buf. Doing this makes the ports simpler and
less error prone (ie they can no longer forget to call these).
Some important changes to the way the file system is structured on the
pyboard:
1. 0: and 1: drive names are now replaced with POSIX inspired
directories, namely /flash and /sd.
2. Filesystem now supports the notion of a current working directory.
Supports the standard Python way of manipulating it: os.chdir and
os.getcwd.
3. On boot up, current directory is /flash if no SD inserted, else /sd
if SD inserted. Then runs boot.py and main.py from the current dir.
This is the same as the old behaviour, but is much more consistent and
flexible (eg you can os.chdir in boot.py to change where main.py is run
from).
4. sys.path (for import) is now set to '' (current dir), plus /flash
and /flash/lib, and then /sd and /sd/lib if SD inserted. This, along
with CWD, means that import now works properly. You can import a file
from the current directory.
5. os.listdir is fixed to return just the basename, not the full path.
See issue #537 for background and discussion.
For accel to start-up reliably, need to wait 30ms between on/off, and
30ms for it to enter active mode. With this fix the accel can be read
immediately after initialising it.
Addresses issue #763.
Before, pyb.stdin/pyb.stdout allowed some kind of access to the USB VCP
device, but it was basic access.
This patch adds a proper USB_VCP class and object with much more control
over the USB VCP device. Create an object with pyb.USB_VCP(), then use
this object as if it were a UART object. It has send, recv, read,
write, and other methods. send and recv allow a timeout to be specified.
Addresses issue 774.
The user code should call micropython.alloc_emergency_exception_buf(size)
where size is the size of the buffer used to print the argument
passed to the exception.
With the test code from #732, and a call to
micropython.alloc_emergenncy_exception_buf(100) the following error is
now printed:
```python
>>> import heartbeat_irq
Uncaught exception in Timer(4) interrupt handler
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "0://heartbeat_irq.py", line 14, in heartbeat_cb
NameError: name 'led' is not defined
```
Recent changes to builtin print meant that print was printing to the
mp_sys_stdout_obj, which was sending data raw to the USB CDC device.
The data should be cooked so that \n turns into \r\n.
With unicode enabled, this patch allows reading a fixed number of
characters from text-mode streams; eg file.read(5) will read 5 unicode
chars, which can made of more than 5 bytes.
For an ASCII stream (ie no chars > 127) it only needs to do 1 read. If
there are lots of non-ASCII chars in a stream, then it needs multiple
reads of the underlying object.
Adds a new test for this case. Enables unicode support by default on
unix and stmhal ports.
