This function adjusts the time returned by time.Now() and similar
functions. This is necessary on bare metal systems, where there would
not be a way to adjust the time otherwise.
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).
* machine/samd51: pin method cleanups.
- Use bit-math to select the group in Pin methods.
- Move Pin methods to atsamd51. They are not chip-specific, they apply to the whole atsamd51 family.
- Move the group/pin-id calculation into a helper method.
- Add a Pin.Toggle() method.
* device/arm: add system timer registers
Add SYST registers and bit definitions to device/arm.
Add a setup function.
Add an example that uses it to blink an LED.
* runtime/atsamd51: fix clock init code
The DPLL0 initialization should set LDRFRAC and LDR, not LDRFRAC twice.
Also explain what the magic numbers are doing.
Comparing slices against nil currently causes the slice to escape, due
to a limitation in LLVM 8. This leads to lots of unnecessary heap
allocations. With LLVM 9 and some modifications to TinyGo, this should
be fixed. However, this commit is an easy win right now.
Returning an error when both slices are nil is not necessary, when the
check is left out it should just do nothing.
For updating an SPI screen using the st7735 driver, this results in a
~7% performance win.
Instead of configuring machine.I2C0, machine.I2C1, etc. statically,
allow the pins to be set using machine.I2CConfig. This will also
automatically configure the correct pin mode for each pin instead of
having to specify that manually.
An optimization introduced in a04db67ea9
seems to have broken arduino uno compiled hex. Setting optimzation
flags to 1, 2, or s builds proper hex binaries though.
These patches have been the result of troubleshooting over slack:

The SPI peripheral in the nrf chips support double buffering, which
makes it possible to keep sending continuously. This change introduces
double buffering on the nrf chips, which should improve SPI performance.
Tested on the pca10040 (nrf52832).
Compared to the already supported stm32f103xx "bluepill" board this:
- features 128 KiB flash memory size ("RB" suffix) instead of 64 KiB, see `targets/stm32f103rb.ld`
- has onboard ST-LINK/V2-1 programmer and debugger requiring different OpenOCD configuration file
- uses USART2 connected to ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger as virtual COM port over USB for `putchar()`
- has a user-accessible button besides the reset button
Motivation: The bluepill uses USART1 as UART0 but other boards like the
STM32 Nucleo boards (and disco as well) use USART2 for USB COM port.
To avoid duplication of code the same pattern as in `machine_atsamd21.go`
is applied where only UART-specific code is moved to `board_*.go`.
