The NRF51 doesn't have a systick. When the MCU doesn't have a systick, the
HAL has to export several functions which will be use by the kernel to
manage the tick:
* os_tick_init provides the initialization function for the alternative
hardware timer.
* os_tick_val returns the current value of the alternative hardware timer.
* os_tick_ovf returns the overflow flag of the alternative hardware timer.
* os_tick_irqack is an interrupt acknowledge function that is called to
confirm the alternative hardware timer interrupt.
The HAL should also call OS_Tick_Handler needs to be called as the
hardware timer interrupt function.
In the case of the NRF51, two RTCs are available:
* RTC0: reserved for soft device
* RTC1: used by us_ticker.
RTC1 is a 4 channels timers, channel 0 is used for us_ticker, and
in this port channel 1 is used for tick generation.
Implementation notes:
* RTC1_IRQHandler: has to be written in assembly otherwise a stack
overflow will occur because the function OS_Tick_Handler never
returns. This function is called when RTC1 channel IRQ is triggered.
* tick generation has been optimised for a tick with a duration of
1000us.
* us_ticker can still be compiled and used without RTX enabled.

We're ensuring target and host start-up sync here in 2 ways:
1) adding a delay on host side to make sure the serial
initialization can happen before sending a character is sent to target
2) in case of serial_nc_rx_auto.py test, we're sending a
first character S which will trigger the move from rx+tx
to NC+rx.
This should avoid any crossing case due to HSOT being faster than target or vice-versa
During initialization phase of the 2 NC serial tests,
there is a character being sent from host to target,
based on MBED_HOSTTEST_START. The problem is that
the target firmware then creates a "new" serial on the
same serial interface. the new or should, or at least may,
induce a reset of the IP, so that the character sent by host
would be lost. So we're moving the new earlier.
the real testing part happens later, to check the next
character is not received or sent.
Add lock functions so that malloc and environment variable access are
thread safe. Add the compiler option "-o thread-safe" to use the full
version of newlib which is thread safe.
Note that this patch does NOT make file access thread safe.
Add the locks and flags necessary to make the IAR standard library
thread safe. These changes consist of:
-Add compiler flag "--guard_calls" to ensure C++ function-static
variables with dynamic initializers are initialized in a
thread safe manner
-Add the linker flag "--threaded_lib" so the thread safe version of
the standard library is used
-Implement mutex functions required for IAR thread safety
-Create a set of stub functions in retarget.c for when the rtos is not present
The KSDK2 update restricts static data to the first 64K of RAM.
This breaks some applications which require more than 64K of
static data. This patch moves the static data sections
(bss and data) into the second ram region which is 192K.

When the function spi_master_write is called a transfer will occur
and set the end of queue flag. This disables further SPI transfers
which causes the next SPI transfer to hang forever.
This patch clears the end of queue flag so SPI does not hang after
the first transfer.
Address passed into the mbed I2C API are expected to be 8 bit and
include the read/write flag. KSDK2 expects a 7 bit address without
this flag. This patch shifts the address passed into the KSDK by 1
so it is in the correct format.
On repeated starts the flag to indicate this is not being set
properly. Because of this the transfer fails. This patch
keeps track of the last transfer to determine if a repeated
start should be sent and sets the KSDK flags appropriately.
