L4 does not have UART6, and has similar registers to the F7.
Original patch was authored by Tobias Badertscher / @tobbad, but it was
reworked to split UART edits from USB edits.
The first argument to the type.make_new method is naturally a uPy type,
and all uses of this argument cast it directly to a pointer to a type
structure. So it makes sense to just have it a pointer to a type from
the very beginning (and a const pointer at that). This patch makes
such a change, and removes all unnecessary casting to/from mp_obj_t.
In non-blocking mode (timeout=0), uart.write() can now transmit all of its
data without raising an exception. uart.read() also works correctly in
this mode.
As part of this patch, timout_char now has a minimum value which is long
enough to transfer 1 character.
Addresses issue #1533.
py/mphal.h contains declarations for generic mp_hal_XXX functions, such
as stdio and delay/ticks, which ports should provide definitions for. A
port will also provide mphalport.h with further HAL declarations.
Instead of return 0, which means EOF. There's no good way to detect EOF on
continuously active bus like UART, and treat timeout as just temporary
unvailability of data. .read() method of UART object will return None in
this case (instead of 0, which again measn EOF). This is fully compliant
with unix port.
Extracted GPIO clock enable logic into mp_hal_gpio_clock_enable
and called from anyplace which might need to use GPIO functions
on ports other than A-D.
Thanks to Dave Hylands for the patch.
Previous to this patch the printing mechanism was a bit of a tangled
mess. This patch attempts to consolidate printing into one interface.
All (non-debug) printing now uses the mp_print* family of functions,
mainly mp_printf. All these functions take an mp_print_t structure as
their first argument, and this structure defines the printing backend
through the "print_strn" function of said structure.
Printing from the uPy core can reach the platform-defined print code via
two paths: either through mp_sys_stdout_obj (defined pert port) in
conjunction with mp_stream_write; or through the mp_plat_print structure
which uses the MP_PLAT_PRINT_STRN macro to define how string are printed
on the platform. The former is only used when MICROPY_PY_IO is defined.
With this new scheme printing is generally more efficient (less layers
to go through, less arguments to pass), and, given an mp_print_t*
structure, one can call mp_print_str for efficiency instead of
mp_printf("%s", ...). Code size is also reduced by around 200 bytes on
Thumb2 archs.
