The `machine.Pin` type was a int8, which works fine but limits the
number of pin numbers to 127. This patch changes the type to uint8 and
changes NoPin to 0xff, which allows more pins to be used.
Some boards might not have that many pins but their internal
organization requires more pin numbers to be used (because it is
organized in pin ports and not all pins in a port have a physical
connection). Therefore the range of a int8 is too low to address these
higher pins.
This patch also has the surprising side effect of reducing binary size
in a number of cases. If there is a reduction it's usually just a few
bytes, with one outlier: the driver example amg88xx when compiled for
the pybadge board. I have not seen any increases in binary size.
There was what appears to be a race condition in the Tx function. While
it would work fine in many cases, when there were interrupts (such as
when using BLE), the function would just hang waiting for `EVENTS_READY`
to arrive.
I think what was happening was that the `spi.Bus.RXD.Get()` would start
the next transfer, which would complete (and generate an event) before
`EVENTS_READY` was reset to 0. The fix is easy: clear `EVENTS_READY`
before doing something that can trigger an event.
I believe I've seen this bug before on the PineTime but I couldn't find
the issue back then.
All the AVRs that I've looked at had the same pin/port structure, with
the possible states being input/floating, input/pullup, low, and high
(with the same PORT/DDR registers). The main difference is the number of
available ports and pins. To reduce the amount of code and avoid
duplication (and thus errors) I decided to centralize this, following
the design used by the atmega2560 but while using a trick to save
tracking a few registers.
In the process, I noticed that the Pin.Get() function was incorrect on
the atmega2560 implementation. It is now fixed in the unified code.
This commit changes pin numbering for atmega328 based boards (Uno, Nano)
to use the standard format, where pin number is determined by the
pin/port. Previously, pin numbers were based on what the Uno uses, which
does not seem to have a clear pattern.
One difference is that counting starts at port B, as there is no port A.
So PB0 is 0, PB1 is 1… PC0 is 8.
This commit also moves PWM code to the atmega328 file, as it may not be
generic to all ATmega chips.
Calling errors.New in an error path causes a heap allocation at an
already unfortunate moment. It is more efficient to create these error
values in globals and return these constant globals. If these errors are
not used (because the related code was optimized out), the globals will
also be optimized out.
This is the kind that is used in Go (actually CGo) for exporting
functions. I think it's best to use //export instead of our custom
//go:export pragma, for consistency (they are equivalent in TinyGo).
Therefore I've updated all instances to the standard format (except for
two that are updated in https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/1024).
No smoke tests changed (when comparing the output hash), except for some
wasm tests that include DWARF debug info and tend to be flaky anyway.
Somehow moving to LLVM memory intrinsics for calls like memcpy made the
machine.sendUSBPacket get inlined. This is a problem because it is
called in many different functions and it is just big enough to cause a
significant file size increase.
Adding //go:noinline solves this problem and gets the examples/blinky1
program below the file size it was before this change (tested:
itsybitsy-m0, itsybitsy-m4, circuitplay-bluefruit).
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.
