Go 1.19 started reformatting code in a way that makes it more obvious
how it will be rendered on pkg.go.dev. It gets it almost right, but not
entirely. Therefore, I had to modify some of the comments so that they
are formatted correctly.
This makes nrf51 consistent with nrf52 and other chips, which do provide
constants for hardware pin numbers.
I've also added the microbit to the smoketest because it is used on
play.tinygo.org. And removed PCA10040 and PCA10056 because they aren't
provided on play.tinygo.org anymore.
Do it all at once in preparation for Go 1.18 support.
To make this commit, I've simply modified the `fmt-check` Makefile
target to rewrite files instead of listing the differences. So this is a
fully mechanical change, it should not have introduced any errors.
Previously, the machine.UART0 object had two meanings:
- it was the first UART on the chip
- it was the default output for println
These two meanings conflict, and resulted in workarounds like:
- Defining UART0 to refer to the USB-CDC interface (atsamd21,
atsamd51, nrf52840), even though that clearly isn't an UART.
- Defining NRF_UART0 to avoid a conflict with UART0 (which was
redefined as a USB-CDC interface).
- Defining aliases like UART0 = UART1, which refer to the same
hardware peripheral (stm32).
This commit changes this to use a new machine.Serial object for the
default serial port. It might refer to the first or second UART
depending on the board, or even to the USB-CDC interface. Also, UART0
now really refers to the first UART on the chip, no longer to a USB-CDC
interface.
The changes in the runtime package are all just search+replace. The
changes in the machine package are a mixture of search+replace and
manual modifications.
This commit does not affect binary size, in fact it doesn't affect the
resulting binary at all.
This means that machine.UART0, machine.UART1, etc are of type
*machine.UART, not machine.UART. This makes them easier to pass around
and avoids surprises when they are passed around by value while they
should be passed around by reference.
There is a small code size impact in some cases, but it is relatively
minor.
This makes it possible to assign I2C objects (machine.I2C0,
machine.I2C1, etc.) without needing to take a pointer.
This is important especially in the future when I2C may be driven using
DMA and the machine.I2C type needs to store some state.
This newer peripheral supports DMA (through EasyDMA) and should
generally be faster. Importantly for some operations: interrupts (within
255 byte buffers) will not interfere with the SPI transfer.
This commit lets the compiler know about interrupts and allows
optimizations to be performed based on that: interrupts are eliminated
when they appear to be unused in a program. This is done with a new
pseudo-call (runtime/interrupt.New) that is treated specially by the
compiler.
These all-caps constants aren't in the Go style, so rename it to
CPUFrequency (which is more aligned with Go style). Additionally, make
it a function so that it is possible to add support for changing the
frequency in the future.
Tested by running `make smoketest`. None of the outputs did change.
