The specific board can be selected with the BOARD makefile variable. This
defaults (if not specified) to BOARD=GENERIC, which is the original default
firmware build. For the 512k target use BOARD=GENERIC_512K.
On other ports (e.g. ESP32) they provide a complete Nimble implementation
(i.e. we don't need to use the code in extmod/nimble). This change
extracts out the bits that we don't need to use in other ports:
- malloc/free/realloc for Nimble memory.
- pendsv poll handler
- depowering the cywbt
Also cleans up the root pointer management.
In which case place the native function prelude in a bytes object, linked
from the const_table of that function. An architecture should define
N_PRELUDE_AS_BYTES_OBJ to 1 before including py/emitnative.c to emit
correct machine code, then enable MICROPY_EMIT_NATIVE_PRELUDE_AS_BYTES_OBJ
so the runtime can correctly handle the prelude being in a bytes object.
Such that args/return regs for the parent are different to args/return regs
for child calls. For an architecture to use this feature it should define
the REG_PARENT_xxx macros before including py/emitnative.c.
Prior to this commit, when unwinding through an active finally the stack
was not being correctly popped/folded, which resulting in the VM crashing
for complicated unwinding of nested finallys.
This should be fixed with this commit, and more tests for return/break/
continue within a finally have been added to exercise this.
