Use "-f" to select filesystem mode, followed by the command to execute.
Optionally put ":" at the start of a filename to indicate that it's on the
remote device, if it would otherwise be ambiguous.
Examples:
$ pyboard.py -f ls
$ pyboard.py -f cat main.py
$ pyboard.py -f cp :main.py . # get from device
$ pyboard.py -f cp main.py : # put to device
$ pyboard.py -f rm main.py
Previously, when linking qstr objects in native code for ARM Thumb, the
index into the machine code was being incremented by 4, not 8. It should
be 8 to account for the size of the two machine instructions movw and movt.
This patch makes sure the index into the machine code is incremented by the
correct amount for all variations of qstr linking.
See issue #4829.
Fixes errors in the tool when 1) linking qstrs in native ARM-M code; 2)
freezing multiple files some of which use native code and some which don't.
Fixes issue #4829.
The user can now select their own package index by either passing the "-i"
command line option, or setting the upip.index_urls variable (before doing
an install).
The https://micropython.org/pi package index hosts packages from
micropython-lib and will be searched first when installing a package. If a
package is not found here then it will fallback to PyPI.
Prior to this patch, when a lot of data was output by a running script
pyboard.py would try to capture all of this output into the "data"
variable, which would gradually slow down pyboard.py to the point where it
would have large CPU and memory usage (on the host) and potentially lose
data.
This patch fixes this problem by not accumulating the data in the case that
the data is not needed, which is when "data_consumer" is used.
The qstr window size is not log-2 encoded, it's just the actual number (but
in mpy-tool.py this didn't lead to an error because the size is just used
to truncate the window so it doesn't grow arbitrarily large in memory).
Addresses issue #4635.
This system makes it a lot easier to include external libraries as static,
native modules in MicroPython. Simply pass USER_C_MODULES (like
FROZEN_MPY_DIR) as a make parameter.
When encoded in the mpy file, if qstr <= QSTR_LAST_STATIC then store two
bytes: 0, static_qstr_id. Otherwise encode the qstr as usual (either with
string data or a reference into the qstr window).
Reduces mpy file size by about 5%.
Instead of emitting two bytes in the bytecode for where the linked qstr
should be written to, it is now replaced by the actual qstr data, or a
reference into the qstr window.
Reduces mpy file size by about 10%.
This is an implementation of a sliding qstr window used to reduce the
number of qstrs stored in a .mpy file. The window size is configured to 32
entries which takes a fixed 64 bytes (16-bits each) on the C stack when
loading/saving a .mpy file. It allows to remember the most recent 32 qstrs
so they don't need to be stored again in the .mpy file. The qstr window
uses a simple least-recently-used mechanism to discard the least recently
used qstr when the window overflows (similar to dictionary compression).
This scheme only needs a single pass to save/load the .mpy file.
Reduces mpy file size by about 25% with a window size of 32.
POP_BLOCK and POP_EXCEPT are now the same, and are always followed by a
JUMP. So this optimisation reduces code size, and RAM usage of bytecode by
two bytes for each try-except handler.
Under python3 (tested with 3.6.7) bytes with a list of integers as an
argument returns a different result than under python 2.7 (tested with
2.7.15rc1) which causes pydfu.py to fail when run under 2.7. Changing
bytes to bytearray makes pydfu work properly under both Python 2.7 and
Python 3.6.
If you happen to only have a really simple frozen file that doesn't contain
any new qstrs then the generated frozen_mpy.c file contains an empty
enumeration which causes a C compile time error.
Following an equivalent fix to py/bc.c. The reason the incorrect values
for the opcode constants were not previously causing a bug is because they
were never being used: these opcodes always have qstr arguments so the part
of the code that was comparing them would never be reached.
Thanks to @malinah for finding the problem and providing the initial patch.
A DFU device must be in the idle state before it can be programmed, and
this requires either clearing the status or aborting, depending on its
current state. Code is added to do this. And the USB transfer size is now
automatically detected so devices with a size less than 2048 bytes work
correctly.
Some Python linters don't like unconditional except clauses because they
catch SystemExit and KeyboardInterrupt, which usually is not the intended
behaviour.
