2022-01-05docs/differences: Document details of new PEPs/features in Python 3.5+.NitiKaur
And how they relate to MicroPython. As these features are implemented (or the decision is made to not implement them) the tables can be updated to document the differences between MicroPython and standard Python.
2021-12-22esp32/machine_pwm: Keep duty constant when changing frequency.IhorNehrutsa
Save and restore the same duty cycle when the frequency (or frequency resolution) is changed. This allows a smooth frequency change. Also update the esp32 PWM quickref to be clearer.
2021-12-18py/runtime: Allow initialising sys.path/argv with defaults.Damien George
If MICROPY_PY_SYS_PATH_ARGV_DEFAULTS is enabled (which it is by default) then sys.path and sys.argv will be initialised and populated with default values. This keeps all bare-metal ports aligned. Signed-off-by: Damien George <damien@micropython.org>

2021-12-03esp32/machine_pwm: Implement duty_u16() and duty_ns() PWM methods.IhorNehrutsa
The methods duty_u16() and duty_ns() are implemented to match the existing docs. The duty will remain the same when the frequency is changed. Standard ESP32 as well as S2, S3 and C3 are supported. Thanks to @kdschlosser for the fix for rounding in resolution calculation. Documentation is updated and examples expanded for esp32, including the quickref and tutorial. Additional notes are added to the machine.PWM docs regarding limitations of hardware PWM.

2021-11-17docs/library/framebuf.rst: Adjust dimensions in example.Sebastian Wicki
This commit swaps the dimensions of the `framebuffer.FrameBuffer` in the docs example from 10x100 to 100x10 pixels to avoid clipping. This is done to better fit the subsequent example code, which writes text of size 96x8 followed by a 96x1 horizontal line. The y coordinate of the horizontal line is also adjusted such that it is drawn inside of the new canvas bounds.
2021-11-13rp2/machine_i2s: Add I2S protocol support.Mike Teachman
This commit adds I2S protocol support for the rp2 port: - I2S API is consistent with STM32 and ESP32 ports - I2S configurations supported: - master transmit and master receive - 16-bit and 32-bit sample sizes - mono and stereo formats - sampling frequency - 3 modes of operation: - blocking - non-blocking with callback - uasyncio - internal ring buffer size can be tuned - DMA IRQs are managed on an I2S object basis, allowing other RP2 entities to use DMA IRQs when I2S is not being used - MicroPython documentation - tested on Raspberry Pi Pico development board - build metric changes for this commit: text(+4552), data(0), bss(+8) Signed-off-by: Mike Teachman <mike.teachman@gmail.com>

2021-09-16all: Remove MICROPY_OPT_CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE.Jim Mussared
This commit removes all parts of code associated with the existing MICROPY_OPT_CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE optimisation option, including the -mcache-lookup-bc option to mpy-cross. This feature originally provided a significant performance boost for Unix, but wasn't able to be enabled for MCU targets (due to frozen bytecode), and added significant extra complexity to generating and distributing .mpy files. The equivalent performance gain is now provided by the combination of MICROPY_OPT_LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and MICROPY_OPT_MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE (which has been enabled on the unix port in the previous commit). It's hard to provide precise performance numbers, but tests have been run on a wide variety of architectures (x86-64, ARM Cortex, Aarch64, RISC-V, xtensa) and they all generally agree on the qualitative improvements seen by the combination of MICROPY_OPT_LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and MICROPY_OPT_MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE. For example, on a "quiet" Linux x64 environment (i3-5010U @ 2.10GHz) the change from CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE, to LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH combined with MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE is: diff of scores (higher is better) N=2000 M=2000 bccache -> attrmapcache diff diff% (error%) bm_chaos.py 13742.56 -> 13905.67 : +163.11 = +1.187% (+/-3.75%) bm_fannkuch.py 60.13 -> 61.34 : +1.21 = +2.012% (+/-2.11%) bm_fft.py 113083.20 -> 114793.68 : +1710.48 = +1.513% (+/-1.57%) bm_float.py 256552.80 -> 243908.29 : -12644.51 = -4.929% (+/-1.90%) bm_hexiom.py 521.93 -> 625.41 : +103.48 = +19.826% (+/-0.40%) bm_nqueens.py 197544.25 -> 217713.12 : +20168.87 = +10.210% (+/-3.01%) bm_pidigits.py 8072.98 -> 8198.75 : +125.77 = +1.558% (+/-3.22%) misc_aes.py 17283.45 -> 16480.52 : -802.93 = -4.646% (+/-0.82%) misc_mandel.py 99083.99 -> 128939.84 : +29855.85 = +30.132% (+/-5.88%) misc_pystone.py 83860.10 -> 82592.56 : -1267.54 = -1.511% (+/-2.27%) misc_raytrace.py 21490.40 -> 22227.23 : +736.83 = +3.429% (+/-1.88%) This shows that the new optimisations are at least as good as the existing inline-bytecode-caching, and are sometimes much better (because the new ones apply caching to a wider variety of map lookups). The new optimisations can also benefit code generated by the native emitter, because they apply to the runtime rather than the generated code. The improvement for the native emitter when LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE are enabled is (same Linux environment as above): diff of scores (higher is better) N=2000 M=2000 native -> nat-attrmapcache diff diff% (error%) bm_chaos.py 14130.62 -> 15464.68 : +1334.06 = +9.441% (+/-7.11%) bm_fannkuch.py 74.96 -> 76.16 : +1.20 = +1.601% (+/-1.80%) bm_fft.py 166682.99 -> 168221.86 : +1538.87 = +0.923% (+/-4.20%) bm_float.py 233415.23 -> 265524.90 : +32109.67 = +13.756% (+/-2.57%) bm_hexiom.py 628.59 -> 734.17 : +105.58 = +16.796% (+/-1.39%) bm_nqueens.py 225418.44 -> 232926.45 : +7508.01 = +3.331% (+/-3.10%) bm_pidigits.py 6322.00 -> 6379.52 : +57.52 = +0.910% (+/-5.62%) misc_aes.py 20670.10 -> 27223.18 : +6553.08 = +31.703% (+/-1.56%) misc_mandel.py 138221.11 -> 152014.01 : +13792.90 = +9.979% (+/-2.46%) misc_pystone.py 85032.14 -> 105681.44 : +20649.30 = +24.284% (+/-2.25%) misc_raytrace.py 19800.01 -> 23350.73 : +3550.72 = +17.933% (+/-2.79%) In summary, compared to MICROPY_OPT_CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE, the new MICROPY_OPT_LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and MICROPY_OPT_MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE options: - are simpler; - take less code size; - are faster (generally); - work with code generated by the native emitter; - can be used on embedded targets with a small and constant RAM overhead; - allow the same .mpy bytecode to run on all targets.

2021-08-13docs: Replace ufoo with foo in all docs.Jim Mussared
Anywhere a module is mentioned, use its "non-u" name for consistency. The "import module" vs "import umodule" is something of a FAQ, and this commit intends to help clear that up. As a first approximation MicroPython is Python, and so imports should work the same as Python and use the same name, to a first approximation. The u-version of a module is a detail that can be learned later on, when the user wants to understand more and have finer control over importing. Existing Python code should just work, as much as it is possible to do that within the constraints of embedded systems, and the MicroPython documentation should match the idiomatic way to write Python code. With universal weak links for modules (via MICROPY_MODULE_WEAK_LINKS) users can consistently use "import foo" across all ports (with the exception of the minimal ports). And the ability to override/extend via "foo.py" continues to work well. Signed-off-by: Jim Mussared <jim.mussared@gmail.com>
