This currently doesn't work with `tinygo flash` yet (even with
`-programmer=openocd`), you can use pyocd instead. For example, from the
Bluetooth package:
tinygo build -o test.hex -target=microbit-v2-s113v7 ./examples/advertisement/
pyocd flash --target=nrf52 test.hex
I intend to add support for pyocd to work around this issue, so that a simple
`tinygo flash` suffices.
This commit refactors PWM support in the machine package to be more
flexible. The new API can be used to produce tones at a specific
frequency and control servos in a portable way, by abstracting over
counter widths and prescalers.
This probably won't speed up the build on multicore systems (the build
is still dominated by the whole-program optimization step) but should be
useful at a later date for other optimizations. For example, I intend to
eventually optimize each package individually including C files, which
should enable cross-language optimizations (inlining C functions into Go
functions, for example). For that to work, accurate dependency tracking
is important.
This optimization level wasn't working before because some passes expect
some globals to be cleaned up afterwards. Cleaning these globals is
easy, just add the pass necessary for it. This shouldn't reduce the
usefulness of the -opt=0 build flag as most optimizations are still
skipped.
This package was long making the design of the compiler more complicated
than it needs to be. Previously this package implemented several
optimization passes, but those passes have since moved to work directly
with LLVM IR instead of Go SSA. The only remaining pass is the SimpleDCE
pass.
This commit removes the *ir.Function type that permeated the whole
compiler and instead switches to use *ssa.Function directly. The
SimpleDCE pass is kept but is far less tightly coupled to the rest of
the compiler so that it can easily be removed once the switch to
building and caching packages individually happens.
This commit finally introduces unit tests for the compiler, to check
whether input Go code is converted to the expected output IR.
To make this necessary, a few refactors were needed. Hopefully these
refactors (to compile a program package by package instead of all at
once) will eventually become standard, so that packages can all be
compiled separate from each other and be cached between compiles.
This commit changes the number of wait states for the stm32f103 chip to
2 instead of 4. This gets it back in line with the datasheet, but it
also has the side effect of breaking I2C. Therefore, another (seemingly
unrelated) change is needed: the i2cTimeout constant must be increased
to a higher value to adjust to the lower flash wait states - presumably
because the lower number of wait states allows the chip to run code
faster.
For a full explanation, see interp/README.md. In short, this rewrite is
a redesign of the partial evaluator which improves it over the previous
partial evaluator. The main functional difference is that when
interpreting a function, the interpretation can be rolled back when an
unsupported instruction is encountered (for example, an actual unknown
instruction or a branch on a value that's only known at runtime). This
also means that it is no longer necessary to scan functions to see
whether they can be interpreted: instead, this package now just tries to
interpret it and reverts when it can't go further.
This new design has several benefits:
* Most errors coming from the interp package are avoided, as it can
simply skip the code it can't handle. This has long been an issue.
* The memory model has been improved, which means some packages now
pass all tests that previously didn't pass them.
* Because of a better design, it is in fact a bit faster than the
previous version.
This means the following packages now pass tests with `tinygo test`:
* hash/adler32: previously it would hang in an infinite loop
* math/cmplx: previously it resulted in errors
This also means that the math/big package can be imported. It would
previously fail with a "interp: branch on a non-constant" error.
This commit switches to LLVM 11 for builds with LLVM linked statically
(e.g. `make`). It does not yet switch the default for builds dynamically
linked to LLVM, that should be done in a later change.
This commit also changes to use the default host toolchain (probably
GCC) instead of Clang as the default compiler in CI. There were some
issues with Clang 3.8 in CI and hopefully this will fix it.
Additionally it updates the way LLVM is built on Windows, with
-DLLVM_ENABLE_PIC=OFF (which should have been used all along). This
change makes it possible to revert a hack to build libclang manually and
instead uses the libclang static library like on all other operating
systems, simplifying the Makefile.
This fixes an issue where a normal suspending call followed by a plain tail call would result in the tail return value being written to the return pointer of the normal suspending call.
This is fixed by saving the return pointer at the start of the function and restoring it before initiating a plain tail call.
This allows the following packages to pass tests:
* crypto/des
* encoding/hex
I have not included crypto/rc4 as it doesn't pass tests on Go 1.11 (but
it works on later versions).
The algorithm now checks for invalid UTF-8 sequences, which is required
by the Go spec.
This gets the tests of the unicode/utf8 package to pass.
Also add bytes.Equal for Go 1.11, which again is necessary for the
unicode/utf8 package.
By modifying the linker script a bit and adding the NRO0 header directly
in the assembly, it's possible to craft an ELF file that can be
converted straight to a binary (using objcopy or similar) that is a NRO
file. This avoids custom code for NRO files or an extra build step.
With another change, .nro files are recognized by TinyGo so that this
will create a ready-to-run NRO file:
tinygo build -o test.nro -target=nintendoswitch examples/serial
These packages are known to pass tests with `tinygo test`. It's still a
very short list, but hopefully this list can be expanded to eventually
cover most or all of the standard library.
Right now this requires setting the -port parameter, but other than that
it totally works (if esptool.py is installed). It works by converting
the ELF file to the custom ESP32 image format and flashing that using
esptool.py.
This is only very minimal support. More support (such as tinygo flash,
or peripheral access) should be added in later commits, to keep this one
focused.
Importantly, this commit changes the LLVM repo from llvm/llvm-project to
tinygo-org/llvm-project. This provides a little bit of versioning in
case something changes in the Espressif fork. If we want to upgrade to
LLVM 11 it's easy to switch back to llvm/llvm-project until Espressif
has updated their fork.
