These functions are used by the binary blobs that implement wifi/BLE on
the ESP32-C3. While this is a lot of lines of linker script, I think
it's a good idea to add them here (instead of in a separate library)
because they're part of the ESP32-C3 hardware.
This is a big change: apart from removing LLVM 14 it also removes typed
pointer support (which was only fully supported in LLVM up to version
14). This removes about 200 lines of code, but more importantly removes
a ton of special cases for LLVM 14.
This commit adds support for LLVM 16 and switches to it by default. That
means three LLVM versions are supported at the same time: LLVM 14, 15,
and 16.
This commit includes work by QuLogic:
* Part of this work was based on a PR by QuLogic:
https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/3649
But I also had parts of this already implemented in an old branch I
already made for LLVM 16.
* QuLogic also provided a CGo fix here, which is also incorporated in
this commit:
https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/3869
The difference with the original PR by QuLogic is that this commit is
more complete:
* It switches to LLVM 16 by default.
* It updates some things to also make it work with a self-built LLVM.
* It fixes the CGo bug in a slightly different way, and also fixes
another one not included in the original PR.
* It does not keep compiler tests passing on older LLVM versions. I
have found this to be quite burdensome and therefore don't generally
do this - the smoke tests should hopefully catch most regressions.
Browsers previously didn't support the WebAssembly i64 type, so we had
to work around that limitation by converting the LLVM i64 type to
something else. Some people used a pair of i32 values, but we used a
pointer to a stack allocated i64.
Now however, all major browsers and Node.js do support WebAssembly
BigInt integration so that i64 values can be passed back and forth
between WebAssembly and JavaScript easily. Therefore, I think the time
has come to drop support for this workaround.
For more information: https://v8.dev/features/wasm-bigint (note that
TinyGo has used a slightly different way of passing i64 values between
JS and Wasm).

This is just support for the chip, no boards are currently supported.
However, you can use this target on a custom board.
Notes:
- This required a new runtime and machine implementation, because the
hardware is actually very different (and much nicer than older
AVRs!).
- I had to update gen-device-avr to support this chip. This also
affects the generated output of other AVRs, but I checked all chips
we support and there shouldn't be any backwards incompatible
changes.
- I did not implement peripherals like UART, I2C, SPI, etc because I
don't need them. That is left to do in the future.
You can flash these chips with only a UART and a 1kOhm resistor, which
is really nice (no special hardware needed). Here is the program I've
used for this purpose: https://pypi.org/project/pymcuprog/
This basically reverts https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/3357
and replaces it with a different mechanism to get to the same goal.
I do not think filtering tags like this is a good idea: it's the wrong
part of the compiler to be concerned with such tags (that part sets
tags, but doesn't modify existing tags). Instead, I've written the
//go:build lines in such a way that it has the same effect: WASI
defaults to leveldb, everything else defaults to fnv, and it's possible
to override the default using build tags.
* Rename pinetime-devkit0 to pinetime because the production device is
almost the same hardware (the only noticeable difference is a
different accelerometer, which isn't part of the board file).
* Remove the UART and set serial to none. The UART uses a lot of
current by default, so it seems better to disable it.
This is a breaking change, but honestly I think I'm the only one who has
ever actually used TinyGo for the PineTime and I'm fine with this
change :)
The only thing that's different between all these chips is the flash
size, which can easily be passed as a linker flag instead. This removes
a bunch of duplicate code in an uncommon language (linker script).
I've also fixed a few boards with incorrect flash sizes:
* nano-rp2040 has 16MB instead of 2MB
* macropad-rp2040 has 8MB instead of 2MB
* gopher-badge has 8MB instead of 1MB
machine/stm32, nrf: implement machine.Flash
Implements the machine.Flash interface using the same definition as the tinyfs BlockDevice.
This implementation covers the stm32f4, stm32l4, stm32wlx, nrf51, nrf52, and nrf528xx processors.
