Instead of user defined symbols in assembly files or C files,
use linker scripts to add heap and stack - this is inconsistent
with ARM std linker scripts
--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
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.
Restore cmsis_nvic (cmsis_nvic.c and cmsis_nvic.h) files for the
implementations which use a mechanism other than the VTOR to set
interrupts. These are vendor specific and were done for M0 devices
which do not have a VTOR.
Note - There were two cmsis_nvic files which did not use the VTOR that
which not restored in this patch. This is because these targets were
not M0 devices and could use the new unified implementation instead.
These files are:
targets\TARGET_ARM_SSG\TARGET_MPS2\TARGET_MPS2_M0P\device\cmsis_nvic.c
targets\TARGET_ONSEMI\TARGET_NCS36510\device\cmsis_nvic.c
Note - cmsis_nvic.c and cmsis_nvic.h were initial removed in
(and restored from) the commit:
b97ffe8fdc -
"CMSIS5: Replace target defined NVIC_Set/GetVector with CMSIS implementation"
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.
