Replaces "PYB: soft reboot" with "MPY: soft reboot", etc.
Having a consistent prefix across ports reduces the difference between
ports, which is a general goal. And this change won't break pyboard.py
because that tool only looks for "soft reboot".
This change makes it so that python3 is required by default to build
MicroPython. Python 2 can be used by specifying make PYTHON=python2.
This comes about due to a recent-ish change to PEP 394 that makes the
python command more optional than before (even with Python 2 installed);
see https://github.com/python/peps/commit/cd59ec03c8ff1e75089d5872520cd0706774b35b#diff-1d22f7bd72cbc900670f058b1107d426
Since the command python is no longer required to be provided by a
distribution we need to use either python2 or python3 as commands. And
python3 seems the obvious choice.
These macros could in principle be (inline) functions so it makes sense to
have them lower case, to match the other C API functions.
The remaining macros that are upper case are:
- MP_OBJ_TO_PTR, MP_OBJ_FROM_PTR
- MP_OBJ_NEW_SMALL_INT, MP_OBJ_SMALL_INT_VALUE
- MP_OBJ_NEW_QSTR, MP_OBJ_QSTR_VALUE
- MP_OBJ_FUN_MAKE_SIG
- MP_DECLARE_CONST_xxx
- MP_DEFINE_CONST_xxx
These must remain macros because they are used when defining const data (at
least, MP_OBJ_NEW_SMALL_INT is so it makes sense to have
MP_OBJ_SMALL_INT_VALUE also a macro).
For those macros that have been made lower case, compatibility macros are
provided for the old names so that users do not need to change their code
immediately.
Adds support for 3 Cortex-M boards, selectable via "BOARD" in the Makefile:
- microbit, Cortex-M0 via nRF51822
- netduino2, Cortex-M3 via STM32F205
- mps2-an385, Cortex-M3 via FPGA
netduino2 is the default board because it's supported by older qemu
versions (down to at least 2.5.0).
Instead of checking each callback (currently storage and dma) explicitly
for each SysTick IRQ, use a simple circular function table indexed by the
lower bits of the millisecond tick counter. This allows callbacks to be
easily enabled/disabled at runtime, and scales well to a large number of
callbacks.
