This is necessary for better CGo support on bare metal. Existing
libraries expect to be able to include parts of libc and expect to be
able to link to those symbols.
Because with this all targets have a working libc, it is now possible to
add tests to check that a libc in fact works basically.
Not all parts of picolibc are included, such as the math or stdio parts.
These should be added later, when needed.
This commit also avoids the need for the custom memcpy/memset/memcmp
symbols that are sometimes emitted by LLVM. The C library will take care
of that.
Somehow I forgot to add this emulator. With this, you can easily emulate
programs:
$ tinygo run -target=atmega1284p examples/serial
Loaded 698 .text at address 0x0
Loaded 12 .data
hello world!..
hello world!..
hello world!..
This convention is followed by most of the avr-gcc toolchain but older
versions of binutils don't mind overlapping program/data spaces.
However, newer versions start complaining about an overlap in address
space:
avr-ld: section .stack VMA [0000000000000100,00000000000002ff] overlaps section .text VMA [0000000000000000,0000000000000225]
This commit moves the data space in the linker script to 0x800000, like
the rest of the toolchain does.
This adds support for the `-scheduler=tasks` flag for AVR. On most AVR
chips you wouldn't want to run a real scheduler but it may be useful in
some cases, especially on devices with more RAM. It is disabled by
default.
Not tested on actual hardware, only on simavr. The main motivation for
adding this chip is to be able to run simulated tests using a much
larger memory space (16kB RAM, 128kB flash) without jumping to the XMega
devices that may not be as well supported by LLVM.
It does not appear to be necessary for these devices but might result in
more appropriate libraries to be linked in.
It is best to _not_ specify the exact MCU because otherwise a few other
settings (such as startfiles and some linker script configs) also get
set, which we do manually anyway and should not be interfered with.
I discovered this while working on support for the atmega1284.
Previously, the RAM was set to start at address 0. This is incorrect: on
AVR, the first few addresses are taken up by memory-mapped I/O. The
reason this didn't lead to problems (yet) was because the stack was
usually big enough to avoid real problems.
There were a few instances like `.text` and `.text*`. The first was
redundant with the second, but the intention was to write `.text.*`.
This doesn't change anything (tested with `make smoketest`) but should
avoid propagating this error in the future.
This allows TinyGo-built binaries to run under wasmtime, for example:
tinygo build -o test.wasm -no-debug -target=wasm examples/test
wasmtime run test.wasm 0
Thanks to Kyle Lemons for the inspiration and original design. The
implementation in this commit is very different however, building on top
of the software vectoring needed in RISC-V. The result is a flexible
interrupt handler that does not take up any RAM for configuration.
This might sound crazy, but I think it's better to enable the GC by
default to avoid surprises. It costs 1130 bytes of flash and 16 bytes of
RAM (plus heap overhead) so it's not exactly free, but if needed it can
easily be disabled with `-gc=leaking`. On the Uno (32kB flash, 2kB RAM)
that's not massive, on the DigiSpark (8kB flash, 0.5kB RAM) that may be
too much depending on the application.
This allows CGo code to call some libc functions. Additionally, by
putting memset/memmove/memcpy in an archive they're not included anymore
when not necessary, reducing code size for small programs.
On Windows, it is common that there is a colon in the path. avrdude will
treat that as a separator and everything behind it as the file format
specifier instead of defaulting to Intel hex format.
By explicitly specifying the Intel hex format (with `:i`), this issue
should be fixed.
This makes debugging on the HiFive1 rev B much easier:
tinygo gdb -target=hifive1b examples/echo
Using JLinkGDBServer as I couldn't figure out how to do it with OpenOCD.
This commit adds support for timer interrupts, replacing the busy loop
that was used before. It is perhaps the most simple interrupt to
implement and should serve as the basis for further interrupt support in
RISC-V.
Add a target for the Adafruit Circuit Playground Bluefruit, which is
based on the nRF52840. Adds the necessary code for the machine
package and the json and linker script files in the targets directory.
The machine package code is based on board_circuitplay_express.go,
with modifications made by consulting the wiring diagram on the
adafruit website here:
https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-circuit-playground-bluefruit/downloads
Also adds support to the uf2 conversion packacge to set the familyID
field. The Circuit Playground Bluefruit firmware rejects uf2 files
without the family id set to 0xADA52840 (and without the flag specifying
that the family id is present).
Now that we use LLVM 9, RISC-V support in LLVM has far fewer bugs and we
can avoid the GNU toolchain.
* replace GNU linker with lld
* replace GCC with clang
Additionally, RISC-V was promoted to stable so it can be enabled by
default in CI.
The .sdata and .sbss sections are created by the compiler, but were not
present in the linker script. That means that the linker put them after
all other data/bss section, which happens to be where the heap also
resides.
This commit adds the .sdata and .sbss sections to the linker script,
which gets the blinky examples to work again on RISC-V.
In my excitement to get the SoftDevice PR ready, I made two mistakes.
They're fixed in this commit.
* Add the `s132v6` build tag.
* Remove the (old) `ldscript` property.
This fixes the following issue:
https://github.com/aykevl/go-bluetooth/issues/1
This prevents it from being of type PROGBITS in lld 9, it should always
be NOBITS. It should fix the following error in lld 9:
ROM segments are non-contiguous
Setting the linker script as one property (instead of as part of the
generic ldflags property) allows it to be overriden.
This is important for the SoftDevice on Nordic chips, because the
SoftDevice takes up a fixed part of the flash/RAM and the application
must be flashed at a different position. With this linkerscript option,
it is possible to create (for example) a pca10040-s132v6 that overrides
the default linker script.
The name was cortex-m.s which looks like it is a generic assembly file
for all cortex-m targets. However, it really is only for qemu
simulation, because every chip has a slightly different interrupt vector
table.
This smartwatch doesn't have an on-board debugger, so I picked the one I
was using while getting this smartwatch to run Go programs (the J-Link
EDU Mini).
