Serial buffer must be flushed before entering deep sleep mode. In the test this is done by the additional delay which is implemented on the busy loop which decrements given value down to 0 (`void wait_cycles(volatile unsigned int cycles)`). This solution is not appropriate since it is very target specific and the cycles value has been already increased few times. Additionally very big number of loop cycles which is suitable for fast targets may take much longer on slower boards and results in test timeout.
It has been verified that 20ms is sufficient delay for the green-tea transmission. In this test we cannot simply use `wait_ms(20)` since this potentially may put board to sleep and wake up using lp ticker. The test re-initialzies the lp ticker(disables ticker interrupt) and this operation may break the schedule and time tracing by the upper layer. But we can use us ticker which is not affected by this test. The solution is to add a delay routine based on busy loop and us ticker only. This way are able to wait exactly 20 ms.
The test sometimes fails on NRF51_DK (test case: "Test: LowPowerTimer - time measurement 1 ms.") in morph tests.
The test verifies if LowPowerTimer class correctly counts elapsed time. Sometimes we got measured ~1600 us for delay 1000 us (delta 550 us).
The delay is performed using `wait_us()` function which for delays greater than or equal to 1 ms (our case) calls `Thread::wait((uint32_t)ms);`. This causes rescheduling and potentially can put board into sleep (deep sleep mode is disabled by `wait_us()`). For our test purposes we don't need rescheduling/sleep since this actions takes extra time and have influence on the time measurement accuracy.
The solution is to implement function for delay which is based on busy loop and uses us ticker. It has been verified that this solves the problem. With this fix when measurement of 1 ms is repeated 1000 times we got usually measured time equal to ~1080 us, and sometimes ~1300us (checked that this is caused by systick interrupt handling). Since this is test for drivers layer and the results are acceptable I decided to not disabling systick in the test).
As we do not include rtx_lib header file anymore, these symbols are not available.
Use core util for if ISR is active. And for OS tick, pull in os_tick header file.
Mark mbed-os-tests-mbed_hal-common_tickers/time_cpu_cycles not in-lined.
Otherwise, time_cpu_cycles may be in-lined somewhere and takes different
CPU cycles on invocation.
Increase timeout for netsocket TCP and UDP tests. Old timeout
(240 seconds) was not enough for slower devices to complete the
tests.
Accept error codes NSAPI_ERROR_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT and
NSAPI_ERROR_NO_CONNECTION when running test wifi_connect_secure_fail
The new configuration make Error history tracking switched off by default and enabled by using the config flag MBED_CONF_PLATFORM_ERROR_HIST_ENABLED.
Config flag MBED_CONF_PLATFORM_ERROR_ALL_THREADS_INFO enables printing info of all threads. This will be turned off by default.
Increases tolerance value for sleep_usticker_test to cover extra time needed
for cpu stats computation (for more details see MBED_CPU_STATS_ENABLED).
Prevent scheduling interrupt during ticker initialization (in lp_ticker_init)
while test execution.
Make multiticker test more reliable when scheduling very early interrupts.
When very early interrupt is scheduled (e.g now + 2[ticks]) then it's likely
that it won't be fired in some circumstances and as a result there is overdue
event in queue. That overdue event can be mistakenly scheduled again by
`Ticker::detach` (detach calls schedule if head was removed). That's why we
should check interrupts counter immediately after wait period and before detach loop
Updated EMAC memory manager to use libservice nsdynmemlib
for EMAC memory buffers. Located the nsdynmemlib buffer heap
to DMA safe memory bank on LPCxx boards. Optimized placement of
static variables on EMAC test environment for LPCxx boards to
maximize available memory.
