Pasting more or less sizable text into ESP8266 REPL leads to random chars
missing in the received input. Apparent cause is that using RTOS messages
to pass individual chars one by one is to slow and leads to UART FIFO
overflow. So, instead of passing chars one by one, use RTOS msg to signal
that input data is available in FIFO, and then let task handler to read
data directly from FIFO.
With this change, lost chars problem is gone, but the pasted text is
truncated after some position. At least 500 chars can be pasted reliably
(at 115200 baud), but 1K never pastes completely.
This patch converts Q(abc) to "Q(abc)" to protect the abc from the
C preprocessor, then converts back after the preprocessor is finished.
So now we can safely put includes in mpconfig(port).h, and also
preprocess qstrdefsport.h (latter is now done also in this patch).
Addresses issue #1252.
1. Updated linker script, now user app appears to contain exception vector
table and oesn't work (faults) without it.
2. Commened out support for GPIO pulldown, which was removed in this SDK
version without clear explanation, but apparently because it was released
without proper validation, and now turns out it doesn't work as expected,
or there's a different function there.
I document as much as I could guess from experiments and reading the
code for the ``esp`` module for the ESP8266 port of Micropython.
For now the tag has to be set manually with -t option when building,
when we have properly split documentation, there will be a separate
config file for esp8266 with that the tag "port_esp8266" set.
To build use:
make SPHINXOPTS="-t port_esp8266" html
Using MICROPY_PY_SYS_PATH_DEFAULT macro define. A usecase is building a
distribution package, which should not have user home path by default in
sys.path. In such case, MICROPY_PY_SYS_PATH_DEFAULT can be defined on
make command-line (using CFLAGS_EXTRA).
