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.
When disabled, the pyb.I2C class saves around 8k of code space and 172
bytes of RAM. The same functionality is now available in machine.I2C
(for F4 and F7 MCUs).
It is still enabled by default.
To use HSE bypass mode the board should define:
#define MICROPY_HW_CLK_USE_BYPASS (1)
If this is not defined, or is defined to 0, then HSE oscillator mode is
used.
This patch allows a given board to configure which pins are used for the
CAN peripherals, in a similar way to all the other bus peripherals (I2C,
UART, SPI). To enable CAN on a board the mpconfigboard.h file should
define (for example):
#define MICROPY_HW_CAN1_TX (pin_B9)
#define MICROPY_HW_CAN1_RX (pin_B8)
#define MICROPY_HW_CAN2_TX (pin_B13)
#define MICROPY_HW_CAN2_RX (pin_B12)
And the board config file should no longer define MICROPY_HW_ENABLE_CAN.
The CMSIS files for the STM32 range provide macros to distinguish between
the different MCU series: STM32F4, STM32F7, STM32H7, STM32L4, etc. Prefer
to use these instead of custom ones.
This patch allows to completely compile-out support for USB, and no-USB is
now the default. If a board wants to enable USB it should define:
#define MICROPY_HW_ENABLE_USB (1)
And then one or more of the following to select the USB PHY:
#define MICROPY_HW_USB_FS (1)
#define MICROPY_HW_USB_HS (1)
#define MICROPY_HW_USB_HS_IN_FS (1)
Header files that are considered internal to the py core and should not
normally be included directly are:
py/nlr.h - internal nlr configuration and declarations
py/bc0.h - contains bytecode macro definitions
py/runtime0.h - contains basic runtime enums
Instead, the top-level header files to include are one of:
py/obj.h - includes runtime0.h and defines everything to use the
mp_obj_t type
py/runtime.h - includes mpstate.h and hence nlr.h, obj.h, runtime0.h,
and defines everything to use the general runtime support functions
Additional, specific headers (eg py/objlist.h) can be included if needed.
This is to keep the top-level directory clean, to make it clear what is
core and what is a port, and to allow the repository to grow with new ports
in a sustainable way.
