When using a SoftDevice, the MSD flash method is not appropriate as it
will erase the entire flash area before writing the new firmware. This
also wipes the SoftDevice. Instead, use OpenOCD to only rewrite the
parts of flash that need to be rewritten and leave the SoftDevice alone.
Only some pins (notably including GPIO2 aka machine.LED) have GPIO for
the default function 1. Other pins (such as GPIO 15) had a different
function by default. Function 3 means GPIO for all the pins, so always
use that when configuring a pin to use as a GPIO pin.
In the future, the mux configuration will need to be updated for other
functions such as SPI, I2C, etc.
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
This ensures that stdout (println etc) keeps working in interrupts.
Generally you shouldn't print anything in an interrupt. However,
printing things for debugging is very useful and printing panic messages
can be critical when the code doesn't work for some reason.
This patch adds the `tinygo targets` command, which lists usable
targets (targets that can be used in the `-target` flag).
The assumption here is that usable targets can either be flashed or
emulated by TinyGo. There is one exception where it doesn't work yet:
the nintendoswitch target. Right now it requires some manual steps to
build a .nro file which can then be run by yuzu, hence why it doesn't
show up in the list.
Instead of specifying the emulator command in atmega328p.json, specify
it in the two boards based on it (arduino and arduino-nano). This makes
the configuration consistent with the machine package, which only
defines the CPUFrequency function in the board files (and not in
machine_atmega328p.json).
This is necessary for an upcoming VS Code extension to support TinyGo,
and may be useful for other people wanting to use proper autocompletion
etc in their IDE.
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.
Test binaries must be run in the source directory of the package to be
tested. This wasn't done, leading to a few "file not found" errors.
This commit implements this. Unfortunately, it does not allow more
packages to be tested as both affected packages (debug/macho and
debug/plan9obj) will still fail with this patch even though the "file
not found" errors are gone.
There were a few problems with the go/packages package. While it is more
or less designed for our purpose, it didn't work quite well as it didn't
provide access to indirectly imported packages (most importantly the
runtime package). This led to a workaround that sometimes broke
`tinygo test`.
This PR contains a number of related changes:
* It uses `go list` directly to retrieve the list of packages/files to
compile, instead of relying on the go/packages package.
* It replaces our custom TestMain replace code with the standard code
for running tests (generated by `go list`).
* It adds a dummy runtime/pprof package and modifies the testing
package, to get tests to run again with the code generated by
`go list`.
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.
Interrupts store 32 bytes on the current stack, which may be a goroutine
stack. After that the interrupt switches to the main stack pointer so
nothing more is pushed to the current stack. However, these 32 bytes
were not included in the stack size calculation.
This commit adds those 32 bytes. The code is rather verbose, but that is
intentional to make sure it is readable. This is tricky code that's hard
to get right, so I'd rather keep it well documented.
The SoftDevice should already be installed on these chips. Adding the
right build tags makes them work with the bluetooth package.
I did not change the HasLowFrequencyCrystal property: all these boards
use the MDBT50Q which appears to include a low-frequency oscillator.
That is, I tested the ItsyBitsy nRF52840 with the property set to true
and advertisement worked just fine.
This also fixes a bug: the Bluefruit doesn't have a low frequency
crystal. Somehow non-SoftDevice code still worked. However, the
SoftDevice won't initialize when this flag is set incorrectly.
