This new series of MCUs is similar to the L4 series with an additional
Cortex-M0 coprocessor. The firmware for the wireless stack must be managed
separately and MicroPython does not currently interface to it. Supported
features so far include: RTC, UART, USB, internal flash filesystem.
It's more common to need non-blocking behaviour when reading from a UART,
rather than having a large timeout like 1000ms (the original behaviour).
With a large timeout it's 1) likely that the function will read forever if
characters keep trickling it; or 2) the function will unnecessarily wait
when characters come sporadically, eg at a REPL prompt.
Includes:
- Support for CAN3.
- Support for UART9 and UART10.
- stm32f413xg.ld and stm32f413xh.ld linker scripts.
- stm32f413_af.csv alternate function mapping.
- startup_stm32f413xx.s because F413 has different interrupt vector table.
- Memory configuration with: 240K filesystem, 240K heap, 16K stack.
This UART_HandleTypeDef is quite large (around 70 bytes in RAM needed for
each UART object) and is not needed: instead the state of the peripheral
held in its registers provides all the required information.
