As we've introduced virtual inheritance to support EMACInterface, we can
no longer use C-style casts or static_cast to downcast from
NetworkInterface to more specific types. RTTI is disabled in the
toolchains, so dynamic_cast is unavailables.
Add virtual downcast methods to permit conversions to the 6 derived
classes. Probably only needed for EMACInterface, WiFiInterface and
EthInterface, but handles the set.
This has been superceded by CellularBase. Name change occurred late
in review of https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/pull/4119 and
original unused CellularInterface was left behind.
Rather than let "EthernetInterface" be the base EMAC NetworkInterface,
insert an "EMACInterface" class.
EthernetInterface then derives from EMACInterface and EthInterface.
A Wi-Fi driver can derive from EMACInterface and WiFiInterface - this
will be more logical than deriving from EthernetInterface and
WiFiInterface.
This does mean adding a couple of virtual inheritances to avoid
duplicate NetworkInterfaces:

Initial work by Bartek Szatkowski in https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/pull/4079,
reworked following review of https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/pull/5202 to
transform the entire system into C++, retaining the basic functionality.
Bartek's summary:
* Porting ethernet to EMAC
* Updating EMAC to enable multiple interfaces
* Untangling networking classes, making the abstractions a bit clearer to follow, etc
* General refactoring
* Removal of DEVICE_EMAC flag and introducing DEVICE_ETH and DEVICE_WIFI
Revisions since initial branch:
* Remove lwip depencies
* Correct doxygen warnings
* Remove emac_api.h, replace with C++ EMAC abstract class.
* Create OnboardNetworkInterface, and LWIP implementation.
* Mappings since #4079
lwip-interface/nsapi_stack_lwip.c -> LWIPStack.cpp
lwip-interface/ipstack_lwip.c -> LWIPInterface.cpp
netsocket/mbed_ipstack.h -> OnboardNetworkStack.h
hal/emac_api.h -> EMAC.h
* Reinstate use of EthInterface abstraction
* Correct and clarify HW address EMAC ops
* Restore MBED_MAC_ADDR implementation
* Integrate PPP support with LWIP::Interface.
* Convert K64F lwIP driver to K64F_EMAC.
To do:
* Convert emac_stack_mem.h to follow this pattern.
* Figure out DEVICE_ETH/EMAC
* Update all drivers to use EMAC
If user has initiated a delayed event (either with call_in or call_every),
user might need to know how much time is left until the event is
due to be dispatched.
Added time_left() function can be used to get the remaining time.
New directory structure:
* TARGET_SOFTDEVICE_COMMON
* TARGET_SOFTDEVICE_S112
* TARGET_SOFTDEVICE_S132_FULL (MBR + SoftDevice, default)
* TARGET_SOFTDEVICE_S132_OTA (SoftDevice only, for firmware updates)
* TARGET_SOFTDEVICE_S132_MBR (MBR only, for bootloader builds)
* TARGET_SOFTDEVICE_S140_FULL (MBR + SoftDevice, default)
* TARGET_SOFTDEVICE_S140_OTA (SoftDevice only, for firmware updates)
* TARGET_SOFTDEVICE_S140_MBR (MBR only, for bootloader builds)
* TARGET_SOFTDEVICE_NONE
The X_OTA and X_MBR binaries are obtained from the original x_FULL SoftDevice
by splitting it in an MBR part and a SoftDevice part. The MBR is needed for
the bootloader and the SoftDevice for firmware updates.
Build application without SoftDevice:
"target_overrides": {
"*": {
"target.extra_labels_remove": ["SOFTDEVICE_COMMON", "SOFTDEVICE_X_FULL"],
"target.extra_labels_add": ["SOFTDEVICE_NONE"]
}
}
Build application for firmware update using SoftDevice X:
"target_overrides": {
"*": {
"target.extra_labels_remove": ["SOFTDEVICE_X_FULL"],
"target.extra_labels_add": ["SOFTDEVICE_X_OTA"]
}
}
Build bootloader without SoftDevice X:
"target_overrides": {
"*": {
"target.extra_labels_remove": ["SOFTDEVICE_COMMON", "SOFTDEVICE_X_FULL"],
"target.extra_labels_add": ["SOFTDEVICE_X_MBR"]
}
}
As this include is not actually needed. Having it will cause issues
with the bootloader, as this will cause a need to get the full
CMSIS/RTOS package etc., which would bloat the bootloader size.
Currently Astyle is reporting files with warnings, not the actual count
of warnings. This is a bug, but fixing right now will cause incorrect results.
At least for the short-term we can change the name to avoid as much confusion
as possible.
CPUID base register is available for Cortex-M processors only.
Cortex-A devices have Main ID Register, which can be used in future to
get processor info.
Add the allocate_key API. This replaces the previously added set_alloc_key API
(which allocates a key and sets the value at the same time).
Reason for the change: Key allocation will typically be used by other storage
features (like StorageLite), keeping the allocated keys in another location.
Previous API created problems in the case key allocation and value setting
couldn't be done at the same time (for instance, if the set value was
derived from the allocated key, such as hash or CMAC).
Right now, many users are trying out many different filesystems.
Unfortunately, this can leave partially written filesystems on disk
in various states.
A very common pattern for using embedded filesystems is to attempt
a mount, and on failure, format the storage with the filesystem.
Unfortunately, this simply doesn't work if you try to change the
filesystem being used on a piece of storage. Filesystems don't always
use the same regions of storage, and can leave enough metadata lying
around from old filesystems to trick a different mount into thinking a
valid filesystem exists on disk. The filesystems we have were never
designed to check for malicious modification and can't protect against
arbitrary changes.
That being said, it's caused enough problems for users, so as a
workaround this patch adds a disk erase to the FAT filesystem format.
The most common error happens when you use LittleFS, followed by FAT,
followed again by LittleFS.
No other combination of filesystem usage has shown a similar failure,
but it is possible after extensive filesystem use, so it is still
suggested to force a format of the storage when changing filesystems.
