This allows to use the On-Chip retention registers for both the
RTC and to share notification flags between the bootloader and the
application. The two flags being shared right now are the "safe boot"
request and the WDT reset cause. we still have 2 more bits free for
future use.
The safe boot pin, when pulled high during reset rolls back the
firmware to the "factory" image and skips execution of 'boot.py'
and 'main.py'. This is useful to recover from a crash condition.
The system led is used mostly to signal errors.
This change helps making the cc3200 port API a bit closer to stmhal.
The ramaining differences are due to the specific hardware details
of each chip. One feature that has been deliberately disabled is the
possibility to add custom names and custom pin mappings. Those
features are nice and convenient, but in this port, code size is a
major concern.
The port currently implements support for GPIO, RTC, ExtInt and the WiFi
subsystem. A small file system is available in the serial flash. A
bootloader which makes OTA updates possible, is also part of this initial
implementation.
