This package provides access to an operating system resource
(cryptographic numbers) and so needs to be replaced with a TinyGo
version that does this in a different way.
I've made the following choices while adding this feature:
- I'm using the getentropy call whenever possible (most POSIX like
systems), because it is easier to use and more reliable. Linux is
the exception: it only added getentropy relatively recently.
- I've left bare-metal implementations to a future patch. This because
it's hard to reliably get cryptographically secure random numbers on
embedded devices: most devices do not have a hardware PRNG for this
purpose.
This was triggered by the following code:
var smallPrimesProduct = new(big.Int).SetUint64(16294579238595022365)
It is part of the new TinyGo version of the crypto/rand package.
This makes it possible to flash a board even when there are multiple
different kinds of boards attached, e.g. an Arduino Uno and a Circuit
Playground Express. You can find the VID/PID pair in several ways:
1. By running `lsusb` before and after attaching the board and looking
at the new USB device.
2. By grepping for `usb_PID` and `usb_VID` in the TinyGo source code.
3. By checking the Arduino IDE boards.txt from the vendor.
Note that one board may have multiple VID/PID pairs:
* The bootloader and main program may have a different PID, so far
I've seen that the main program generally has the bootloader PID
with 0x8000 added.
* The software running on the board may have an erroneous PID, for
example from a different board. I've seen this happen a few times.
* A single board may have had some revisions which changed the PID.
This is particularly true for the Arduino Uno.
As a fallback, if the given VID/PID pair isn't found, the whole set of
serial ports will be used.
There are many boards which I haven't included yet simply because I
couldn't test them.
Previously it was 1024 bytes, which occasionally ran into a stack
overflow. I hope that 2048 bytes will be enough for most purposes.
I've also removed some 2048-byte stack size settings in JSON files,
which are unnecessary now that the parent (cortex-m.json) sets them.
This only works with a custom bossac build from Arduino, not with the
upstream version. It avoids needing the manual "double tap" to enter
bootloader mode before flashing firmware.
Int in Go and C are two different types (hence why CGo has C.int). The
code in syscall assumed they were of the same type, which led to a bug:
https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/issues/1957
While the C standard makes no guarantees on the size of int, in most
modern operating systems it is 32-bits so Go int32 would be the correct
choice.
This commit includes two changes:
* It makes unexported interface methods package-private, so that it's
not possible to type-assert on an unexported method in a different
package.
* It makes the globals used to identify interface methods defined
globals, so that they can (eventually) be left in the program for an
eventual non-LTO build mode.
Previously, flash-command would assume it could execute a command
straight via /bin/sh, at least on non-Windows systems. Otherwise it
would just split the command using `strings.Split`. This is all a bit
hacky, so I've replaced it with a proper solution: splitting the command
_before_ substituting various paths using a real shell splitter
(shlex.Split, from Google). This solves a few things:
* It guards against special characters in path names. This can be an
issue on Windows where the temporary path may contain spaces (this
is uncommon on POSIX systems).
* It is more portable, by disallowing the use of a shell. That way, it
doesn't differentiate between Windows and non-Windows anymore.
Other chips support explicit control of pull-up vs pull-down for GPIO input. Support that with bluepill also. PinInputPullUpDown is maintained for back-compat. It is implicit pull-down.
This was broken because multiple packages in the program were named
'main', even one that was imported (by the generated main package).
This fixes tests for main packages.
Previously a command like the following would incorrectly print FAIL:
tinygo test -c math
This commit fixes this issue by defaulting to a passing test (the test
is marked as passed if it isn't run).
Because arm.SVCall1 lets pointers escape, the return value of
sd_softdevice_is_enabled (passed as a pointer in a parameter) will
escape and thus this value will be heap allocated.
Use a global variable for this purpose instead to avoid the heap
allocation. This is safe as waitForEvent may only be called outside of
interrupts.
