Most pin I/O can be done just knowing the pin number as a simple
integer, and it's more efficient this way (code size, speed) because it
doesn't require a memory lookup to get the pin id from the pin object.
If the full pin object is needed then it can be easily looked up in the
pin table.
Use the machine.deepsleep() function to enter the sleep mode. Use the
RTC to configure the alarm to wake the device.
Basic use is the following:
import machine
# configure RTC's ALARM0 to wake device from deep sleep
rtc = machine.RTC()
rtc.irq(trigger=rtc.ALARM0, wake=machine.DEEPSLEEP)
# do other things
# ...
# set ALARM0's alarm to wake after 10 seconds
rtc.alarm(rtc.ALARM0, 10000)
# enter deep-sleep state (system is reset upon waking)
machine.deepsleep()
To detect if the system woke from a deep sleep use:
if machine.reset_cause() == machine.DEEPSLEEP_RESET:
print('woke from deep sleep')
Flash size as seen by vendor SDK doesn't depend on real size, but rather on
a particular value in firmware header, as put there by flash tool. That means
it's user responsibility to know what flash size a particular device has, and
specify correct parameters during flashing. That's not end user friendly
however, so we try to make it "flash and play" by detecting real size vs
from-header size mismatch, and correct the header accordingly.
"" is the correct name of the root directory when mounting a device there
(as opposed to "/"). One can now do os.listdir('/') and open('/abc'), as
well as os.listdir() and open('abc').
