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.
With this change, it's no longer necessary to set a specific pin mode:
it will get autodetected in the Configure() call.
Tested on an ItsyBitsy M4 with the mpu6050 example in the drivers repo.
This commit does the same thing as
https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/597 but for samd51 series
chips. Pin mode and pad numbers are automatically calculated from pin
numbers, returning an error if no valid pinout is possible.
