This fixes a long standing problem that viper code generation gave
terrible error messages, and actually no errors on pyboard where
assertions are disabled.
Now all compile-time errors are raised as proper Python exceptions, and
are of type ViperTypeError.
Addresses issue #940.
The bootloader needs string0.c because of memset, memcpy and others,
without string0.c it magically links, but calling any of those
functions results in a hard fault.
In debug mode, modpyb needs printf, and including stdio.h leads to
conflicts due to the redefinitions made in the simplelink drivers.
Adds support for the following Thumb2 VFP instructions, via the option
MICROPY_EMIT_INLINE_THUMB_FLOAT:
vcmp
vsqrt
vneg
vcvt_f32_to_s32
vcvt_s32_to_f32
vmrs
vmov
vldr
vstr
vadd
vsub
vmul
vdiv
To build:
make BOARD=ESPRUINO_PICO
To deploy: short the BOOT0/BTN contact on the back of the board (eg by
drawing over it with a graphite pencil), then hold down BTN while
inserting the board into the USB port. The board should then enter DFU
mode, and the firmware can be downloaded using:
make BOARD=ESPRUINO_PICO deploy
Each board now needs an mpconfigboard.mk file which defines AF_FILE and
LD_FILE.
Also moved stm32f405.ld to boards/ directory to keep things organised.
Previous to this patch the printing mechanism was a bit of a tangled
mess. This patch attempts to consolidate printing into one interface.
All (non-debug) printing now uses the mp_print* family of functions,
mainly mp_printf. All these functions take an mp_print_t structure as
their first argument, and this structure defines the printing backend
through the "print_strn" function of said structure.
Printing from the uPy core can reach the platform-defined print code via
two paths: either through mp_sys_stdout_obj (defined pert port) in
conjunction with mp_stream_write; or through the mp_plat_print structure
which uses the MP_PLAT_PRINT_STRN macro to define how string are printed
on the platform. The former is only used when MICROPY_PY_IO is defined.
With this new scheme printing is generally more efficient (less layers
to go through, less arguments to pass), and, given an mp_print_t*
structure, one can call mp_print_str for efficiency instead of
mp_printf("%s", ...). Code size is also reduced by around 200 bytes on
Thumb2 archs.
