The WiPy machine.Timer class is very different to the esp8266 and esp32
implementations which are better candidates for a general Timer class. By
moving the WiPy Timer docs to a completely separate file, under a new name
machine.TimerWiPy, it gives a clean slate to define and write the docs for
a better, general machine.Timer class. This is with the aim of eventually
providing documentation that does not have conditional parts to it,
conditional on the port.
While the new docs are being defined it makes sense to keep the WiPy docs,
since they describe its behaviour. Once the new Timer behaviour is defined
the WiPy code can be changed to match it, and then the TimerWiPy docs would
be removed.
This patch makes the Thumb-2 native emitter use wide ldr instructions to
call into the runtime, when the index into the native glue function table
is 32 or greater. This reduces the generated assembler code from 10 bytes
to 6 bytes, saving RAM and making native code run about 0.8% faster.
A recent version of arm-none-eabi-gcc (8.2.0) will warn about unused packed
attributes in USB_WritePacket and USB_ReadPacket. This patch suppresses
such warnings for this file only.
This error message did not consume all of its variable args, a bug
introduced long ago in baf6f14deb. By fixing
it to use %s (instead of keeping the string as-is and deleting the last
arg) the same error message string is now reused three times in this format
function and gives a code size reduction of around 130 bytes. It also now
gives a better error message when a non-string is passed in as an argument
to format, eg '{:d}'.format([]).
The machine module should be standard across all ports so should have the
same set of classes in the docs. A special warning is added to the top of
the machine.SD class because it is not standardised and only available on
the cc3200 port.
It's fair to just provide a link to all available modules, regardless of
the port. Most of the existing ports (unix, stm32, esp8266, esp32) share
most of the same set of modules anyway, so no need to maintain separate
lists for them. And there's a big discussion at the start of this index
about modules not being available on a given port.
For port-specific modules, they can also be listed unconditionally because
they have headings that explicitly state they are only available on certain
ports.
