Move hardware-specific optimizations to the very end of document, and
add visible note that it gives an example for Pyboard. Remove references
to specific hardware technologies, so the doc can be more naturally
used across ports. Various markup updates to adhere to the latest
docs conventions.
This causes `symbol` syntax to be equivalent to :any:`symbol`, which is
in turn the easiest way to cross-reference an arbitrary symbol in the
docs:
http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/markup/inline.html#role-any
:any: requires at least Sphinx 1.3 (for reference, Ubuntu 16.03 ships
with 1.3.6, the latest 1.6.3).
Any many of our docs, `symbol` is misused to specify arguments to
functions, etc. Refactoring that is in progress. (CODECONVENTIONS
already specify proper syntax for both arguments and xrefs, based
on CPython conventions).
This adds description of implied AbstractNIC base class, which should be
"subclasses" and implemented by a particular network device class.
This is just an initial step in that direction, the API and description
will be elabotated further.
The list starts with the simplest functionality - GPIO, proceeds to
communication interfaces (UART, SPI, I2C), the to time(r) related
things, then everything else.
