--legacyalign, --no_legacyalign are deprecated from ARMC6 compiler, in order to
remove deprecated flags all linker files (GCC and IAR as well to have uniformity)
should strictly align to 8-byte boundary
Since revision 5499db1 (mbed-os-5.6.0) a hardfault occurs after a power-cycle.
It doesn't occur after a reset when the application has been downloaded using
drag-and-drop or via debugger. This is probably the reason why this problem
isn't detected when testing new mbed releases.
The hardfault occured in hal_sleep(). Adding a __NOP after __WFI solves the
problem although I don't fully understand why.
- Revision ca661f9 is the last revision where the problem doesn't occur.
- The problem doesn't occur when compiling with GCC instead of ARM compiler
- This issue describes a similar, but not identical problem and led me to test adding a __NOP: https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/issues/5065
fire_interrupt function should be used for events in the past. As we have now
64bit timestamp, we can figure out what is in the past, and ask a target to invoke
an interrupt immediately. The previous attemps in the target HAL tickers were not ideal, as it can wrap around easily (16 or 32 bit counters). This new
functionality should solve this problem.
set_interrupt for tickers in HAL code should not handle anything but the next match interrupt. If it was in the past is handled by the upper layer.
It is possible that we are setting next event to the close future, so once it is set it is already in the past. Therefore we add a check after set interrupt to verify it is in future.
If it is not, we fire interrupt immediately. This results in
two events - first one immediate, correct one. The second one might be scheduled in far future (almost entire ticker range),
that should be discarded.
The specification for the fire_interrupts are:
- should set pending bit for the ticker interrupt (as soon as possible),
the event we are scheduling is already in the past, and we do not want to skip
any events
- no arguments are provided, neither return value, not needed
- ticker should be initialized prior calling this function (no need to check if it is already initialized)
All our targets provide this new functionality, removing old misleading if (timestamp is in the past) checks.
The use of mktime was causing a fault when called in interrupt handler because on GCC it lock the mutex protecting the environment, To overcome this issue, this patch add dedicated routine to convert a time_t into a tm and vice versa.
In the process mktime has been optimized and is now an order of magnitude faster than the routines present in the C library.
There is an easy default implementation of spi_master_block_write that
just calls spi_master_write in a loop, so the default implementation
of spi_master_block_write has been added to all targets.
Add sleep/deepsleep functions to platform layer which are replacing HAL
functions with the same name, rename existing symbols in HAL layer
to hal_sleep/hal_deepsleep. This way sleep functions
are always available, even if target doesn't implement them, which makes
the code using sleep clearer. It also enables us to make decision on in
which builds (debug/release) the sleep will be enabled.
