@slender iron welp, I've got no idea. Have to go to dinner but I'll take another look tomorrow morning, if that's cool.

#

I've tried putting every pin that's been affiliated with flash, USB or SWD in never_reset and it's still not booting. At this point I'm probably going to go back and cross test with the EVKs to make sure we didn't get a global boot bug in here somehow

@ionic elk all good. it may be simplest to binary search it based on port and pin number

[adafruit/circuitpython] New comment on issue #1380: Simpler mechanisms for asynchronous processing $thoughts$

I'm also not sure what kind of primitives you require. Maybe you could give me a simple example of the kind of a program you wanted to write with those counters, and I can show you how this can be done with that library?

I've been thinking quite a bit on this topic about the primitives that I DO want.

When I write threads in normal python (NP) using the threading library, I essentially have two choices as how to create a thread:

create a threading.Thread() on an existing functio...

@tannewt is this way of making _sdcardio.SDIOSDCard "optional" going to fly, or does it need to be 2 modules? When this define is 0, a stub constructor which throws an error is included instead.

Being fixed is that there is just no RAM problems when using frozen modules, so just provide the firmwares with frozen modules !

[adafruit/circuitpython] New comment on pull request #2981: Set up basic integration with pre\-commit\.

Does the whitespace change leave one blank line at the end of the file? I think we tend to.

It leaves an empty line the way Emacs and other editors do — which matches what the Adafruit_CircuitPython_* libraries appear to have. It seems to be different in this repo though, and a lot of files have two empty lines, which is what it's correcting.

Looks like some test outputs were changed and broken. They'll need to be exempted.

Yeah I'm still trying to get this all to pass, it's no...

Does anyone happen to know if the STM32 Black Pill goes by any other names for the purposes of the Support Matrix: https://circuitpython.readthedocs.io/en/5.0.x/shared-bindings/support_matrix.html I'm not seeing it listed in the matrix, perhaps it's still a bit too new to be included?

ionic elk Jun 3, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

I'm not seeing any stm32 boards on the support matrix

#

@raven canopy did something get changed with the support matrix generator?

raven canopy Jun 3, 2020, 1:53 PM

#

there was a change, yes. jeff switched the generator: https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/pull/2957

i would make sure to view the latest version of the docs; not a pinned version (unless super necessary)

lone axle Jun 3, 2020, 1:54 PM

#

Ah, yep that was the issue. At this link: https://circuitpython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/shared-bindings/support_matrix.html everything is present

#

(as far as I can tell, though I am less in tune with some of the newer boards)

#

The 5.0 support matrix page does not have one of the "warning this document is for an older version" alert boxes. Also to be honest I still find myself on old docs pages lots of times from google searches and for some reason the orange / red color of that alert does not stand out to me much so I often don't realize it's old until something in the API seems wonky to me. I wonder if it might be worthwhile to make that warning a little bit more "in your face" within the docs. Perhaps a bolder color, or "scroll with the page".

onyx hinge Jun 3, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

@ionic elk I appreciate it, thank you

#

Let me know if I can furnish any additional info

ionic elk Jun 3, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

dang I hate debugging without a debugger

#

wish these teensy people had at least stuck a couple pads or something on there I could tap into

#

@lone axle I agree, landing on an old version of the docs and not noticing for a couple seconds is a daily frustration for me

solar whale Jun 3, 2020, 2:46 PM

#

@ionic elk how do you upload code to the imxrt1010-evk?

ionic elk Jun 3, 2020, 2:47 PM

#

You can use the jtag connector or the DAP link (onboard debugger)

solar whale Jun 3, 2020, 2:47 PM

#

I have a JLINK on the connect, but it is not seeing it -- anything special I need to do -- is is SWD?

ionic elk Jun 3, 2020, 2:47 PM

#

the DAP is super easy, move the J1 power connector from the furthest left to the second-to-furthest left and plug into the J41 USB

#

if the J1 power connector is already on the second-to-left the Jlink and USB-OTG might not work

solar whale Jun 3, 2020, 2:48 PM

#

ah --- checking

ionic elk Jun 3, 2020, 2:49 PM

RE docs pages old version warning: I will spend some time brainstorming this week and looking at other projects docs to find some good examples (I use Django docs pretty regularly and don't have the same problem with it, perhaps we can take inspiration that or other docs pages). I'll make a note to discuss it in the weeds next week.

ionic elk Jun 3, 2020, 2:52 PM

#

Ok, so J1 position 1 (pins 1 and 2) is power from J41 (CMSIS DAP) so I was wrong

#

J1 position 2 (pins 3 and 4) is J9, the main USB-OTG connector, which shares a circuit with the JTAG

#

Or rather it doesn't interfere with the JTAG? I think that if you have the DAP powered, it prevents the Jlink from working.

#

Also yes, your JLink settings should be for SWD.

solar whale Jun 3, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

so - should I remove the jumper on J1 1-2?

ionic elk Jun 3, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

I'm saying JTAG here as a name for the header but that's not the protocol you're using

#

Move the jumper from J1 1-2 to J1 3-4

#

and plug in the USB cable to J9

#

then start your Jlink

#

@lone axle thanks for checking that out, if you can figure out what they do to always route to the latest docs that'd be sweet

thanks -- I am working through that now!

Not that it'll solve all your problems, NXP docs are pretty garbo in my opinion. You need to cross reference with the schematic PDF a lot

do you then just load the firmware.hex file

if you're using GDB use the .elf

solar whale Jun 3, 2020, 2:59 PM

with .bin do you need to specify an address?

ionic elk Jun 3, 2020, 2:59 PM

You're using a Jlink, right? Are you using Jlink FlashLite or something?

Normally with a Jlink you always use gdb and an .elf file for symbol information, then connect and use load

I've updated this PR to disable reset_all_pins on the 1060 as a temporary fix for the teensy boards and EVK. I'll revisit this when I have some more time to investigate what's going on with the debugger - I'm currently unable to erase or flash the 1060 EVK with a Jlink, and it's making this bug a lot more daunting than it should be.

i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)
sensor = adafruit_ahtx0.AHTx0(i2c)```
becomes 
```python
sensor = adafruit_ahtx0.AHTx0(board.I2C())```

#

But that can be explained in the guide specifically about i2c
@ivory yew entirely valid.

ivory yew Jun 3, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

Yeah I'm all for that.

#

Especially since most folks will only use one i2c bus unless they're doing some fancy stuff.

idle owl Jun 3, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

What is the concept of board.I2C() called? I'm trying to include a comment in this code about it but realised I'm not sure how to refer to it.

ivory yew Jun 3, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

I don't know if we have any intentional terminology for that, but I generally refer to those types of things as helper constructors.

idle owl Jun 3, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

hmm

#

I think I'll gloss over it for now

ivory yew Jun 3, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

"alias" or "shortcut" works too

raven canopy Jun 3, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

i'd agree with alias.

blissful pollen Jun 3, 2020, 5:29 PM

#

I ran into the one/multiple I2C bus thing not long ago. One potential source of error is some drivers may take the pins SDA/SDC and not the board.I2C reference. That prevented re-use (or I did it wrong been a couple weeks now).

raven canopy Jun 3, 2020, 5:29 PM

#

but now i'm trying to remember exactly where the object is created/handled. 😄

blissful pollen Jun 3, 2020, 5:29 PM

#

If all drivers took board.I2C() rather then pins that would simplify things (or your own created I2C object)

slender iron Jun 3, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

@idle owl I think you want singleton. It always refers to the same object even if you do it more than once.

idle owl Jun 3, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

@slender iron It was for a comment in a simpletest. I went with something simpler that says essentially "create the object with I2C." It wasn't the place for programming terminology.

#

@slender iron But thank you for letting me know. I'll use that if I'm ever explaining it more thoroughly.

slender iron Jun 3, 2020, 5:49 PM

"stopped connecting altogether" sounds like you are resetting the SWD pins.

#

@onyx hinge I don't think the Python API should reflect the reality of the C

onyx hinge Jun 3, 2020, 7:02 PM

#

would the type exposed to Python use function pointers for the "real functionality" then?

#

whether with protocols or not

I'll need to think about how that would work, but it is probably doable

maybe write what the constructor should look like, it might take an SPI bus plus a required CS pin, or an SDIO bus; either one takes a frequency/baud rate

SDCard(bus, *, frequency, chip_select=None)

?

[adafruit/circuitpython] New comment on pull request #2863: Sdcard in core

I think it'd be better to separate the bus from the SDCard APIs here.

# Connect to the card and mount the filesystem.
bus = busio.SPI(board.SD_SCK, board.SD_MOSI, board.SD_MISO)
device = adafruit_bus_device.SPIDevice(bus, board.SD_CS) # Also takes frequency, polarity and phase.
# For SDIO
# device = sdioio.SDIO(clock=board.SDIO_CLOCK, command=board.SDIO_COMMAND, data=(board.SDIO_DATA,), frequency=25000000)
sdcard = sdcardio.SDCard(device)

@slender iron yeah we can't use busdevice here unless it's in C too

and it's having to cooperate with foreground python use that gets us https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/issues/1762 -- the way that this PR was going to solve it also involved taking sole usage of the whole SPI bus 😦

not surprising if < 28K is avaialble

the teensy41 shows >900k availalbe !

#

I was just curious if this was expected or if something was not configured properly

#

Maybe that is consistent - the teensy41 has 1M of ram and shows ~930K free. CP must be using ~90K of the avaialble RAM

#

or somthing is taking 90K out of avaiability

#

perhaps it is here https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/blob/master/ports/mimxrt10xx/linking/common.ld#L28

onyx hinge Jun 3, 2020, 8:30 PM

#

ports/mimxrt10xx/linking/chip_family/MIMXRT1011.ld:ram_size = 128K;

it appears to reserve 64K for other purposes

so only 28K available is realistic -- too bad -- really limits the usefulness

an M4 only has 192K to start but ~160K is avaialbe once CP starts up. Since this chip only has 128K and holds back 64K ....

True... I'll try stepping through the reset portion more carefully and try and figure out what's going on. Maybe it isn't adding them to never reset, somehow? It'd be weird, since it works just fine on the 1010

lucid solar Jun 3, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

@ionic elk ok...yes...there was a reason...now I remember 🙂 The nucleo board has it on PLLQ...which is fine. But the disco needs it because the clock speed should be 200mhz max (for the external sram, or external flash...I forget which). And I couldn't get the clocks to calculate by having it on the PLLQ...so it's on SAI...which is what the default is on cubemx

you can read consecutive registers if you read more bytes from them

That reads 6 bytes starting from 0x32, using register auto-increment, and then uses struct to unpack them into three two-byte, little-endian, signed integers (short).

Whether the i2c device at the other end sends the same byte, or auto-increments is an exercise left to the manufacturer though 😆

Thanks. It might be a bit better to def execute(self, code, timeout=10, *, wait_for_response=True): so that any old code that called execute(code, timeout, True) intending to get async behvior will be a runtime error, instead of turning into a call with wait_for_response=True. If the only users are in the circuitpython source tree, though, this scarcely matters.

This is a very excellent point, and I don't consider it a nit-pick at all.

A lot of the semantics are so that it remains py2/py3 compatible, from what I understand (its base is MicroPython's tools/pyboard.py. I'll likely give it more scrubs for a multitude of reasons. One of those scrubs will include removing Python2 use; not worth using at this point.

Hi All - I noticed that there is no option for getting 5.3.0 nor 5.4.0-beta on our CircuitPython.org page. Is that because our board was merged after those builds were released?

Thanks @slender iron . So, if I want to make a clean build for our boards, I could do that locally by checking out the 5.3.0 branch?

@ionic elk we expect it's not the final API

#

and/or the final API will be wrapped by adafruit_sdcard

ionic elk Jun 4, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

So are you going to replace it? Or is it a new class of common-hal module for a wrapped API?

onyx hinge Jun 4, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

It's going to change compared to what's there now

#

ultimately, we want a "bus object" for SDIO buses, for instance. Not sure if joking, tannewt suggested "sdioio"

is the "_" causing a problem for you at this time?

pastel panther Jun 4, 2020, 6:33 PM

@balmy sail re: x-axis vs. y and z, it's a common (and good) practice to read all of the measurement registers at once rather than individually, and most sensors will have a way to automatically increment the register address that you're reading from. We use this to start reading at the first byte of the x-axis data and read through all six bytes of data to get it all at once

@ivory yew are you working on the theme song for "eye on sdio"?

pastel panther Jun 4, 2020, 6:38 PM

@balmy sail Regarding spidev vs. adafruit_spi_device, the former is a CPython (normal python) library and the later is a CircuitPython library meant to be used with microcontrollers running CircuitPython, though it can be used on the RPi and other computers through Blinka.

#

since Adafruit_CircuitPython_ADXL34X is a CircuitPython library, the later is what we use

@slender iron could you help me to understand how Systick works in the low power system? Is it disabled by your low power code, or turned on periodically? I don't see references to it in port.c so I'm kinda confused.

slender iron Jun 4, 2020, 6:54 PM

#

systick isn't used at all

#

what's turned on periodically is a period interrupt from the rtc

ionic elk Jun 4, 2020, 6:55 PM

#

huh

#

I'm puzzled at how basically anything in the HAL is working then, because they all use GetTick all the time, and that depends on Systick incrementing

slender iron Jun 4, 2020, 6:56 PM

#

the hal could turn it on

ionic elk Jun 4, 2020, 6:59 PM

I think it's got to be on right now for all ST boards

[adafruit/circuitpython] New review comment on pull request #2863: Sdcard in core

The altfunction is GPIO_AF12_SDIO. Do you think we should bring this in as a peripheral in the peripherals/ directory? I'm a little split on it because the pins are actually the exact same across every F4, F7 and H7 chip line, including the altfunction. That was also the case for the DAC, so I just defined it in-module. But it's a bit of a deviation from the rest of the ST modules to have actual chip information in the module itself instead of using peripheral instances.

#

[adafruit/circuitpython] New review comment on pull request #2863: Sdcard in core

We'd probably want to use claim_pin here to reserve the pins (and allow some planned gpio bank power optimization), which would require an instance of the pins in question. This would tie into the peripheral question above.

[adafruit/circuitpython] New review comment on pull request #2863: Sdcard in core

I'm not totally sure what to do here. In Micropython's low power implementation, HAL_GetTick isn't overridden at all - they use the system version, which depends on SysTick. HAL_Delay dynamically selects whether to run a SysTick based delay or a busy loop depending on whether interrupts are enabled or not.

I don't know how anything in the HAL could even be working without HAL_GetTick since it's used more or less constantly for timeouts, which implies to me that the Systick is currently tu...

[adafruit/circuitpython] New comment on issue #3004: Request for slice capability for array manipulation

You can slice 2D array in ulab. Or did I interpret your question incorrectly? In any case, if the question is really about ulab, we should probably move it to https://github.com/v923z/micropython-ulab/issues.

ionic elk Jun 4, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

@onyx hinge what was your actual experience trying to overwrite HAL_GetTick()

#

Like what happened

onyx hinge Jun 4, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

@ionic elk it hung at startup. I think, because there are (were) HAL_GetTick() calls inside the clock setup stuff

#

fwiw I have merged your clock PR into my sdio branch and the SDIO code isn't working

#

and then I started going down a rabbit hole

ionic elk Jun 4, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

Yeah. This is going to be tricky. Right now I don't think that the low power code on STM32 is actually doing anything, because Systick is turned on by HAL_Init and is never explicitly turned off

onyx hinge Jun 4, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

I have not made sure to fully power cycle (vs just doing a jlonk flash) so I should do that

ionic elk Jun 4, 2020, 7:19 PM

#

So basically all of this RTC stuff is running in parallel to just normal, full speed SysTick driven operation

onyx hinge Jun 4, 2020, 7:19 PM

#

Possibly, but my testing shows that the SysTick interrupt stops being called, with SysTick->CTRL set to 0 and I don't know why yet (that's the rabbit hole)

ionic elk Jun 4, 2020, 7:19 PM

#

does it really?

#

The issue is that every single HAL init function uses HAL_GetTick for timeouts, and it depends on SysTick. So right now, if Systick turns off, that means that every single module is going to stop working.

onyx hinge Jun 4, 2020, 7:21 PM

#

I see SysTick_Handler be hit 4 times as a breakpoint after reset, and then no more

ionic elk Jun 4, 2020, 7:21 PM

#

yes, though likely also before it

Man that is pretty baffling, I don't know how it's even getting through my clock code if that's the case. And that PR works fine on all my chips, I just tested it

I must be missing something

@onyx hinge Jeff, do you happen to have a snippet, where you pass a ulab array to something with the buffer protocol? I thought your blood pressure sensor did that, but I don't see it now.

lapis hemlock Jun 4, 2020, 7:26 PM

#

@lapis hemlock I may not. Here's what the fft demo did:...
@onyx hinge That should probably do, thanks!

ionic elk Jun 4, 2020, 7:26 PM

#

Ok. I'm going to take a quick break and then come back to this. I don't want to completely dive down the rabbit hole without @slender iron around, I'm worried I might waste time rediscovering something he already solved

onyx hinge Jun 4, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

OK, let me just recap. I have an stm32f405 feather with an attached jlink. I flashed it with Adafruit CircuitPython 5.4.0-beta.0-493-gfffe171d5 on 2020-06-04; Feather STM32F405 Express with STM32F405RG via jlink, restarted and re-powered everything

#

I set a breakpoint on SysTick_Handler and continued in gdb. The breakpoint is only hit 3 or 4 times before it stops

#

I think that explains why Hal_Delay and Hal_GetTick do not work as expected

#

but I have not found what resets SysTick. It ends up looking like this: ```(gdb) p $SysTick = (SysTick_Type*)0xe000e010
$1 = (SysTick_Type *) 0xe000e010
(gdb) p *$1
$2 = {CTRL = 0, LOAD = 5040, VAL = 5028, CALIB = 1073760574}

#


Old value = 7
New value = 5
0x080500c6 in common_hal_mcu_delay_us (delay=840000) at common-hal/microcontroller/__init__.c:48
48        while ((SysTick->CTRL & SysTick_CTRL_COUNTFLAG_Msk) == 0) {}
(gdb) 
Continuing.

Hardware watchpoint 2: -location $1->CTRL

Old value = 5
New value = 0
0x080500da in common_hal_mcu_delay_us (delay=840000) at common-hal/microcontroller/__init__.c:50
50    }

#

oh.

ionic elk Jun 4, 2020, 7:31 PM

#

Right. But it doesn't explain why everything else is working. Right now I don't understand conceptually what the state of SysTick is. If it's turned off, then without overrides of Hal_GetTick and Hal_Delay, basically nothing should be working - not the clock setup, GPIO, nothing. But you're saying that it is turned off, and I know that the chips aren't totally broken because I just tested them. So I'm confused.

#

@onyx hinge what's your revelation?

onyx hinge Jun 4, 2020, 7:32 PM

#

That common_hal_mcu_delay_us is what is changing SysTick setup

#

    uint32_t ticks_per_us = HAL_RCC_GetSysClockFreq()/1000000;
    delay *= ticks_per_us;
    SysTick->LOAD = delay;
    SysTick->CTRL = SysTick_CTRL_CLKSOURCE_Msk | SysTick_CTRL_ENABLE_Msk;
    while ((SysTick->CTRL & SysTick_CTRL_COUNTFLAG_Msk) == 0) {}
    SysTick->CTRL = 0;
}

ionic elk Jun 4, 2020, 7:34 PM

#

so this turns on SysTick for the duration and then turns it off again

onyx hinge Jun 4, 2020, 7:35 PM

#

Frustratingly, since I thought my code and hardware worked, my sdio test code is failing before I merge in your code, so that's a red herring

#

🤷

ionic elk Jun 4, 2020, 7:36 PM

#

Maybe the HAL turns on the SysTick for every HAL function?

onyx hinge Jun 4, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

I don't see any code doing that, and my gdb session is telling me that SysTick isn't usually being executed

#

and if the "watch" of the CTRL register is working, it's telling me there aren't any manipulations of CTRL from C code

#

I think it is working during early setup until the first common_hal_mcu_delay_us and broken after that

#

many of the uses of GetTick that I saw are for waiting for something to time out; so if things happen on schedule, it doesn't matter that the ticks aren't counting up. But there are explicit delays in the sdio setup and it is well after the rest of circuitpython startup, and those definitely fail

ionic elk Jun 4, 2020, 7:40 PM

#

Yeah that seems likely to me. So basically the low power code isn't really running until a module calls common_hal_mcu_delay_us and then it probably breaks. I don't think many (any?) of my existing modules call it so I may simply have just never noticed it in testing

#

yeah only PulseIn uses it

onyx hinge Jun 4, 2020, 7:41 PM

#

I'm stepping away, before I get too frustrated at my own code which stopped working while I wasn't watching. I hope this is useful food for thought.

#

(not because of you, the code I pushed also isn't working)

ionic elk Jun 4, 2020, 7:42 PM

#

Well it's possibly a pretty big bug so yeah! Good we found it. I'll think about a quick/long term fix for now

#

I'll try and use PulseIn on Master and see if it crashes everything

#

If so we might want to disable low power as a short term fix and then I'll need to spend some time messing with the HAL_Delay and HAL_GetTick overrides so they can use SysTick for the beginning of Port Init for clock setup and then turn it off and use the RTC code only after that.

I concentrated on the parts relevant to the STM32F405 Feather and didn't see any problems.

I initially thought there was something functionally wrong about the code, because I merged it into my SDIO branch and got I/O errors. However, I am now seeing these I/O errors with the current tip of that PR's branch, so they do not seem to be due to this PR's changes after all.

They're still around in stm32_peripherals_clocks_init(), which contains the HAL code for the clocks. I think that the systick incrementation you saw was the timeouts used for clock setup, before it gets turned off.

The ST Hal makes extensive use of the HAL_Delay and HAL_GetTick for timing out operations. Normally, these functions use the SysTick interrupt to increment every millisecond - this remains true for the startup period of the STM32, as SysTick is turned on by HAL_Init and is not explicitly turned off until the common_hal_mcu_delay_us is called, which sets the SysTick->CTRL register to 0 (typically the first instance of this function is in microcontroller __init__.c). After SysTick is turned...

@lucid solar same behavior. I just copied the file you sent to the ITSYBOOT drive since it was a UF2 file. Rebooted. And nothing after that. Adafruit is probably not using the W25Q16FW since the max voltage is 1.95V. I found the GD25Q16CEIGR on digikey. I’ll get it ordered one of these days and test it out. I’m willing to try compiling it if you can point me to the right direction.

When I dopython import board import busio i2c = board.I2C()My script can not get a lock on the bus. However, if I switch topython i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)everything works as expected.

Hi 🙂 I have a nRF52840 development board that will be available soon, and I was wondering where to get started adding support for CiruitPython as well as the eligibility of the board to get a VID/PID donation.

When setting a bitmap palette item to transparent using palette.make_transparent(0), the display is not redrawn.

This test code shows a full-screen bitmap that is first printed as red. Then the bitmap's palette color is updated to white. Then the bitmap's palette color is set to transparent. However, this does not trigger the screen to redraw as transparent, instead the color remains white in this example.

Perhaps this is an issue with the dirty rectangle tracking in displayio.

@slender iron q re type hints in c code doc. I am seeing stuff like:

but in the mypy doc, they use @property, e.g.:

//|          ...

Did you intend in the long run to do the former or the latter?

2nd q: I am seeing def __init__(self, ) with the extraneous comma. Was that deliberate or just the result of some auto-generation.

Do you want to account for the fact that a tick is 1/1024 of a second to CP? This is done because most LSEs are actually 32.768khz. Does the HAL expect a tick to be 1/1000th of a second?

I saw your comment on discord and I don't think it matters too much. Every instance I've seen the HAL use these functions is to do this:

uint32_t tickstart = HAL_GetTick();
while ((HAL_GetTick() - tickstart) <=  timout_dur) {

with a timeout_dur of 2 or 4 or something. It doesn't strike me as super precise, and the HAL even allows for the frequency and timeout durations to be tweaked. So I don't think the 2.3% difference is going to cause any differences in behavior.

@ionic elk My "working" code for sdio had suddenly stopped working. I traced back through my git history, and I believe that it's because I reverted a change (that was not intended to be shared) that made DEBUG=1 build have "-Og" optimization (enable optimizations that do not interfere with debugging)
When I turn off DEBUG, I also get working code. Any advice on debugging it?

#

usually it's the reverse, code that is bad or has missing "volatile" qualifications gets broken by the debugger

@onyx hinge I'm confused. What do you mean by reverse? Typically for me introducing optimizations can lead to all kinds of bad stuff happening if you combine it with the wrong CFLAGs

I've never had a program have errors because it didn't have optimizations

onyx hinge Jun 5, 2020, 7:21 PM

it fails (I/O error) with DEBUG=1, works with DEBUG=0

#

But you just said you turned on -Og

onyx hinge Jun 5, 2020, 7:22 PM

confusing things, I had a local change which added -Og when DEBUG=1, and that worked too

ionic elk Jun 5, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

have you tried not turning that on?

onyx hinge Jun 5, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

so basically it's a bug under "no optimization", which is normally introduced by DEBUG=1

#

but beyond that I don't know what the bug is yet

ionic elk Jun 5, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

Have you tried not setting any optimizations at all.

onyx hinge Jun 5, 2020, 7:23 PM

#

That's what DEBUG=1 does, right?

#

ifeq ($(DEBUG), 1)
        CFLAGS += -ggdb
        # You may want to enable these flags to make setting breakpoints easier.
        CFLAGS += -fno-inline -fno-ipa-sra
else
        CFLAGS += -Os -DNDEBUG
        CFLAGS += -ggdb
        # TODO: Test with -flto
        # CFLAGS += -flto
endif

ionic elk Jun 5, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

not if you put -0g in there

onyx hinge Jun 5, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

I am sorry I mentioned -Og, it's a red herring. Disregard it.

#

(it just complicated my troubleshooting)

ionic elk Jun 5, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

Ok, if you're experiencing errors with no optimization I don't know what that is

#

Sorry, I don't totally understand the conditions where it is failing vs not

onyx hinge Jun 5, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

DEBUG=0 -> WORKS
DEBUG=1 -> Fails at runtime with IOError

ionic elk Jun 5, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

I just ran two builds, one with DEBUG and one without, and neither failed.

#

IOError where

onyx hinge Jun 5, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

this is about code in my sdio branch, and it's a runtime error accessing the SDIO card

ionic elk Jun 5, 2020, 7:26 PM

#

Ok. I thought you were running into issues at boot. I'd say it's probably a timing problem. Maybe you had something that got inlined and your program started relying on it for timing, and then you dropped the optimization, it slowed down, and failed.

#

or something like that

onyx hinge Jun 5, 2020, 7:27 PM

#

Thanks, I'll look into it further.

#

I know my explanation was disjointed, it's one of those situations where I just spent what feels like too much time trying to diagnose a thing, and I got frustrated.

ionic elk Jun 5, 2020, 7:27 PM

#

having/not having optimization can definitely screw up timing.

#

also totally cool, same thing happens to me all the time

onyx hinge Jun 5, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

Yeah it might just be timing

#

there's a loop that has to keep a FIFO full, maybe it just doesn't when not optimized

#

it "only" has to place a new item on the FIFO every 320ns or something

ionic elk Jun 5, 2020, 7:29 PM

#

It's definitely weirder for it to go backwards like that but I'd check out the HAL implementation and see if there's anything that might be fishy with timeouts

onyx hinge Jun 5, 2020, 7:29 PM

#

(average)

#

I "should" convert it to DMA, except that the direct I/O did seem to work

#

anyway, messing with that stopped me from reviewing your code so far. I will try to get to that tomorrow when I have a fresh mind.

@ionic elk The external SDRAM on the disco board has a max speed of 200mhz, whilst the F7 MCU can go 216mhz. So we have to cap it at 200mhz...and that means using different settings for the clocks, especially the 48mhz USB clock.

slender iron Jun 5, 2020, 8:49 PM

@lucid solar why is the ram speed tied to the core speed?

shouldn't it just introduce a wait state?

[adafruit/circuitpython] Pull request opened: #3015 mimxrt10xx: fix issues with resets on the 1060 boards

This PR fixes a very old typo in the pin definitions of the 1060 that lead to incorrect enums for a subset of pins used for flash memory. This was causing these pins to never be protected from reset, causing the chip to cut off its own flash memory.

Also fixes an issue for the Teensy pin definitions that skipped the protections for a critical pin, as it is grounded in the schematic, but which still needs to retain its pullup and drive settings across resets.

Properly solves #2998 - 10...

@tulip sleet For adafruit_ble, is there a way to start_scan for a specific Advertisement sub-class/type and get the associated scan responses back too?

tulip sleet Jun 5, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

the scan responses should come back automatically for the specified sublcass

simple pulsar Jun 5, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

Would't that confuse typical code, i.e. listen for MyAdvertisement and then extract myfield but myfield won't be present on a scan response?

#

So on device A I am sending ```>>> send_ad = JoinGameAdvertisement(game="SRTEST")

ble.start_advertising(send_ad)
and I'm receiving on device B>>> for adv in ble.start_scan(JoinGameAdvertisement, minimum_rssi=-127, timeout=2):
... print(adv)
...
...
...
<JoinGameAdvertisement manufacturer_data=<ManufacturerData company_id=0822 data=0a 30 fe 53 52 54 45 53 54 00 00 > >
<JoinGameAdvertisement manufacturer_data=<ManufacturerData company_id=0822 data=0a 30 fe 53 52 54 45 53 54 00 00 > >
<JoinGameAdvertisement manufacturer_data=<ManufacturerData company_id=0822 data=0a 30 fe 53 52 54 45 53 54 00 00 > >
...etc..
so there's only one type of received Advertisement. Peering inside to see if it has waited for and embedded the subsequent scan response in it somewhere, I see>>> type(adv.complete_name)
<class 'NoneType'>
type(adv.tx_power)
<class 'NoneType'>
type(adv.scan_response)
<class 'bool'>
adv.scan_response
False

tulip sleet Jun 5, 2020, 9:39 PM

#

@simple pulsar we have the scan response requested automatically on the scanner side. Are you supplying a scan response when you set up the JoinGameAdvertisement?

simple pulsar Jun 5, 2020, 9:40 PM

#

@tulip sleet No, just allowing the default one to be created with tx_power and complete_name.

#

If you listen for Advertisement you get everything and it works. But for MyAdvertisement the default scan response doesn't seem that useful if one is listening for MyAdvertisement only.

#

Is the expectation that the API user creates something like MyAdvertisementScanResponseExtraBits and passes that to start_advertising scan_response kwarg?

tulip sleet Jun 5, 2020, 9:45 PM

#

i'm looking at the code...

tulip sleet Jun 5, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

@simple pulsar I believe the filtering code was written on the assumption that the single advertisement would be enough. When Scott wrote the filtering code I don't think he had the model of a general BLE central in mind, necessarily. Also, the hardware he was using (iPhone 7 and later) supported extended advertising, which allows for longer advertisements.

I agree that the filtering could be more sophisticated. Also, the scan response fields could be merged into a single large "Advertisement+ScanResponse" kind of thing. @slender iron Am I misinterpreting the capabilities you had in mind?

lucid solar Jun 5, 2020, 10:03 PM

JP ran into problems with playing multiple MP3 files within the same program. One stumbling point was around the MP3Decoder.file property.

Before this, it was the responsibility of the user to close the old file, which led to inconvenient and non-obvious code such as

    old_file = decoder.file
    decoder.file = open("example.mp3", "w")
    old_file.close()

Compatibility with this idiom is preserved, as it's permitted to close() a file as many times as desired; the second...

simple pulsar Jun 5, 2020, 10:25 PM

#

@tulip sleet The merge/stick the SR in a single Advertisement might be tricky to implement. If there's no help in the underlying api then you're just getting a stream of Advertisements over a fairly lossy comms channel, i.e. you have to wait and then timeout. And possibly between that other Advertisements will appear from other devices/etc.

#

@tulip sleet There's no rush on this, I have a plan B as I've already implemented local matching of Advertisements and I only need the scan_responses for one thing. Actually, I could abandon them altogether and just send the name in my ad packet...

tulip sleet Jun 5, 2020, 10:28 PM

#

if you look at the message sequence charts, it appears to me that the scan response data is going to get appended to the low-level advertising report event that the nRF softdevice returns: https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.nordic.infocenter.s140.api.v6.1.1%2Fgroup___b_l_e___g_a_p___s_c_a_n___m_s_c___l_e_g_a_c_y.html

When making a new port....do we still use "MINIMAL"? or ?

@lucid solar let's ping @ionic elk about this, because he reorganized it. There's a file somewhere with all the CIRCUITPY_SOMETHINGIO etc, turned off, and you can start with that. I'm not sure MINIMAL is interesting anymore.

maybe we should add a flag to not filter SRs

tulip sleet Jun 5, 2020, 11:24 PM

#

that sounds like a nice solution. It's true we are using the filtering right now in a lot of the librries, and maybe be missing some data in the scan response that we might need, like the complete name. I think it's been an accident that I haven't hit that yet (e.g., the iBBQ thermometer complete name is in the initial advertisement).

#

it runs after import, on gc.collect and when an allocation fails

pastel panther Jun 6, 2020, 12:18 AM

@slender iron ok, thanks. I'm thinking about having something like a context manager to create and then destroy the register helpers as needed so you don't have to have a bunch sitting around that you only use for init and the occasional rate change or similar

slender iron Jun 6, 2020, 12:19 AM

#

it's a tricky tradeoff because that's then code size

pastel panther Jun 6, 2020, 12:19 AM

right

#

🤔

#

@slender iron do you know the approximate overhead of a class instance? Like how many LOC is it worth? or does that comparison even make sense?

slender iron Jun 6, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

an allocation is always in 16b blocks

#

so that's the minimum. I'd encourage you to look at the heap stuff I did if you want to dig in

#

one thing I changed early on was any buffers created in __init__

#

code in the register classes is shared amongst instances

pastel panther Jun 6, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

where should I look to see more about this? I'm interested in what you meant about buffers created in __init__ because if I'm understanding, that is the incremental cost of a new instance, right?

It seems like the way the original code is written that it defeats the whole purpose of the with in it.

tulip sleet Jun 6, 2020, 3:47 AM

no, the with causes __enter__() and __exit__() to be called at the appropriate times. It is not required that a with statement have an as. https://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#with

timber mango Jun 6, 2020, 3:48 AM

#

self.i2c_device is a device, in this case a display device.

tulip sleet Jun 6, 2020, 3:52 AM

#

it is an instance of I2CDevice, which has __enter__() and __exit__() methods: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_BusDevice/blob/master/adafruit_bus_device/i2c_device.py#L166

#

those methods are called when the with block is entered and exited

timber mango Jun 6, 2020, 3:53 AM

#

OK, got that now. However, with the shortened version inside the with, wouldn't the proper methods be called anyway?

#

Because of the way the with is initialized?

tulip sleet Jun 6, 2020, 3:55 AM

#

you can say with self.I2c_device as x, and then do x.write(...), etc

but you can't say just write(...)

in general, you would do as <something>, and then use the <something> inside the with

I'm experimenting with capacitative sensing at the moment, and the only interface I seem to have is the touchio module. It's entirely boolean - either it senses something or it doesn't. Is there anything that will give me a more graduated reading, or is the boolean reading built into the hardware?

#

Quick'n'dirty code: ```python
import time
import board
import touchio
import neopixel

touch_pad = board.A1

touch = touchio.TouchIn(touch_pad)

pixels = neopixel.NeoPixel(board.D8, 10)

state = False

while True:
if touch.value and state == False:
state = True
for p in range(10):
pixels[p] = (64,64,64)
elif not touch.value and state == True:
state = False
for p in range(10):
pixels[p] = (0,0,0)
time.sleep(0.05)

#

And the makeshift hardware:

@somber garden You do not have to compare boolean variables to True or False. You can just use if state or if not state in your if statements. 🙂

[adafruit/circuitpython] New comment on issue #2958: ESP32S2 time\.sleep issues

The issue actually looks to be in https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/blob/master/ports/esp32s2/supervisor/port.c#L118 . The code ends up dividing tv_usec by 32768 to get all_subticks, and then divides that by 32 before adding it in the return statement. That is equivalent to dividing by 1048576. Since tv_usec seems to run from 1 to 1,000,000; the result is that nothing gets added to tv_sec and the return from port_get_raw_ricks(NULL) is always going to be just seconds.
So, in a Python...

Hello I have a adafruit feather bluefruit sense. How do I convert it from circuit python to arduino?

crimson ferry Jun 7, 2020, 10:50 PM

#

@ivory yew as far as I've grokked, it was dictated by the NINA implementation, I think ladyada wrote most of the early foundation for the ESP32SPI library

ivory yew Jun 7, 2020, 10:52 PM

#

Yeah

#

The biggest question is why the ready pin was needed

#

I'm also running into issues with using the SAMD21 as a SPI peripheral with higher frequency clocks from the main chip. :/

solar whale Jun 7, 2020, 10:58 PM

@orchid shell no conversion necessary. Just upload your Arduino sketch. It will replace CIrcuitPython.

@ivory yew the ready/busy pin requirement comes from the NINA side, you'd have to probably ask the author of that code, https://github.com/arduino/nina-fw/graphs/contributors

[adafruit/circuitpython] Issue opened: #3019 Can not get a lock on the I2C bus

I have been running into a problem off and on where a script can not get a lock on the I2C bus. This is one of those soft failures that only shows up once in a while. :( I have a small script that demonstrates this problem when it occurs. I can scan the I2C bus successfully and show what devices are there, but I can not instantiate a display. I believe this might be a bug in the underlying C code.

Am I correct in the assumption that pin.P0_## means a pin is being treated as “internal”?

I just noticed that two of the pins on my nRF52840 dongle, 20 and 21, aren’t showing up in the board module, despite them being listed on the pin out. In microcontroller it shows up like this. P0_18 -- microcontroller.pin.P18
P0_19 -- microcontroller.pin.P19
P0_20 -- microcontroller.pin.P0_20
P0_21 -- microcontroller.pin.P0_21
P0_22 -- microcontroller.pin.P22

@pseudo gale microcontroller.pin shows all of the pins, but if they aren't in board then they're typically either not exposed, or may go by another name, e.g., SDA, RX, etc. Could be an oversight in the board config.

Seems to be left out of the MakerDiary dongle pins https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/blob/master/ports/nrf/boards/makerdiary_nrf52840_mdk_usb_dongle/pins.c

but 19 and 20 seem to be RX and TX https://github.com/makerdiary/nrf52840-mdk-usb-dongle/blob/master/config/nrf52840_mdk_usb_dongle.h... are those in board? I don't see what happened to 21.

21 seems to be an oversight, but then it isn't in MakerDiary's file either

Before this change, if you keep old_file around, it was an open file that you could perform operations on. After it, if you keep old_file around, it is a closed file and most operations raise an exception.

My assumption was that it was important to reach the file's close() / __exit__ or some resource would be leaked (like file descriptor numbers on linux would be, in the absence of reference counting in cpython3). However, this may not be true. The identity of the opened file cy...

The calculations being done in port_get_raw_ticks basically insured that only seconds were being returned. Since the tv_usec ranges from 1 to 1000000, and ticks are 1/1024 of a second, the correct calculation would be to divide usec by 1024, not 32768 and then 32.

@lapis hemlock Your "fork" of micropython should be able to function as a fork of circuitpython, it just takes a little more care when creating pull requests. "My" fork is a circuitpython fork but I've successfully created PRs against micropython.

Scott told me last week that the circuitpython firmware does not hide hardware resources, even if the hardware itself does not expose them.

@timber mango If you need DAC, you would have to add that yourself. I didn't actually want to make a board that has everything, like a bigger version of the feather, because you can't have eveything, you always have to be selective, and I don't know what people would need. On the other hand, having a piece of hardware that you can easily embed into your hardware is useful, because you have then something that you can customise.

@lapis hemlock True on all accounts! External DACs can be had at much higher resolutions than are found in MCUs, at a price of course. I notice that two I2C buses are available, one master and one slave. Are both exposed? QSPI exposed?

@timber mango As I said, all pins are exposed, but without any specific role. You can actually use the SPI pins as GPIO pins on the nrf52840. But this is just a bare board with a single voltage regulator, and two resistors for the USB port, nothing more. You decide what you want to do with the pins.

#

All this board does is bring out the pins of the nrf52840 in a human-usable form factor (I know, we might disagree on this).

I don't think this is correct because all_subticks should range from 0 to 32767 which would be achieved by dividing 1000000 by 30.517. We can approximate this with the change below. Line 125 should be preserved.

@onyx hinge couple quick questions about your RGBMatrix tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/rgb-led-matrices-matrix-panels-with-circuitpython/example-simple-two-line-text-scroller

is there an official way to lower the speed of the scrolling? It seems that inserting a time.sleep delay over 15ms borks it.
would it be possible to edit the fritzing diagram for the STM32 to match the proto shield diagrams? All the pins are named different things (R0 = R1, R1 = R2) and it's a bit confusing

[adafruit/circuitpython] Issue opened: #3022 More visible warning on old version docs pages

On the older version docs pages such as this one: https://circuitpython.readthedocs.io/en/4.x/shared-bindings/displayio/Group.html

There is a warning at the top and center but I find it somewhat easy to overlook when I arrive on a docs page from a google search or other link.

The two ideas for improvement I had were to make the warning a bolder color and/or make it scroll with the page so it's always visible.

I added a variable _address and an address() property function to expose it to the adafruit_ht16k33.segments.Seg14x4 class so I could find out what address is really being stored with each display. Everything is correct, so I do not understand why only the first display is being written to regardless of which one is selected. Something is definitely off, but I have not figured out what that is yet.

[adafruit/circuitpython] New review comment on pull request #3020: Issue \#2958 Correct calculation of subticks being returned from port\_get\_raw\_ticks for esp32s2

With tv_usec having a value between 1 and 1 million, multiplying it by 2 and dividing by 71 give us values from 1 to 28168. Since a tick is 1/1024th of a second, that could add to the return value by up to 27 seconds. It seems correct to me to multiply seconds by 1024, and add subticks of 1000000 divided by 1024, which is what the original fix did. That would give us subticks of 1 to 1000, which when added to seconds*1024 would be the right number of ticks.
Testing of the proposed fix show...

How are you measuring the sleep duration? I think there is more going on with FreeRTOS that makes it harder to measure.

The all_subticks should be divided by 32 before being added to seconds * 1024 because one tick is 32 subticks. (Most boards have 32.768khz crystals which is 1024 * 32)

Once I figured out and put everything together, we will see if we could integrate it into tinyuf2. Though I am not sure if that could work that way.

@idle owl About the LED Animation, I tested a few days ago with a ring of 24 APA (now you added even more stuff). And I noticed that some animation could look better if the library knew it is circular. In particular, Meteor did seems odd (I had disabled the bouncing mode). One meteor start, goes to the end (that is next to the begining) and then disapear, then another one start. Do you think it does make sense to wish for the meteor to do a continuous loop? I don't know if that is difficult or only apply to Meteor. Just it did seems odd at the time I tested.

@ionic elk just saw your notes & video from yesterday. I can't tell from what I can see for sure, so just want to make sure you have a good power supply. Don't try to run the panels just from USB. I use a 5V 2A power supply on my 64x32 panel and that seems to be marginal.

@onyx hinge I've got what I think is a decent 5V 4A power supply but my connections are not the most amazing, so I asked for one of the Featherwings. That said I don't think the stretched font issue is related to the connections, because Conways game of Life seems to work just fine without any "stretching"

onyx hinge Jun 9, 2020, 2:58 PM

#

That's odd

ionic elk Jun 9, 2020, 3:00 PM

#

I could be wrong though, it isn't super easy to tell.

[adafruit/circuitpython] New review comment on pull request #3020: Issue \#2958 Correct calculation of subticks being returned from port\_get\_raw\_ticks for esp32s2

I used the script above to measure sleep time, running 10 sleep()s in a loop and displaying the times before and after. I realized that when I tested the suggested correction I did not restore the division by 32 in the return statement. Doing that now yields correct results, and I have updated the pull request accordingly.

maybe a year ago I got a python command to rebuild the fs on the cpx - what is it?

#

I updated from 3.x to 5.x and now dmesg: FAT-fs (sdc1): error, fat_get_cluster: invalid cluster chain (i_pos 1606)

@teal bear to erase the file system import storage storage.erase_filesystem() MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BACKUPS

#

it will erase everything

teal bear Jun 9, 2020, 3:31 PM

#

yeah, thats it. thanks.

#

but... I can't get a prompt. tio /dev/ttyACM0 - says "connected" but no >>> and typing doesn't echo

solar whale Jun 9, 2020, 3:36 PM

#

not familiar with tio -- try screen /dev/ttyACM0

#

does the CIRCUITPY Drive mount?

teal bear Jun 9, 2020, 3:37 PM

#

doh. I think I needed to hit ^c to get out of the running code.py

solar whale Jun 9, 2020, 3:38 PM

#

that was my next question 😉

teal bear Jun 9, 2020, 3:54 PM

#

yay, cpx rebuilt setup everything with 5.x - thanks for the helps

Dear all, are there any news regarding the support for the SD Card on the STM32F405 feather with CP?

[adafruit/circuitpython] Issue opened: #3023 STM32: Implement claim\-based GPIO bus activation

To save power, a GPIO bank that is not currently running any pins should have its RCC clock turned off. The most logical place to implement this is probably the claim-pin section of microcontroller/Pin.c.

This concept could potentially be expanded to encompass entire collections of peripherals on chips like the H7, which has multiple power domains.

@gusty topaz this is probably the best place for up-to-date news and status https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/pull/2863

idle owl Jun 9, 2020, 6:42 PM

#

@thorny jay I don't think it would be hard to implement, if I understand what you're suggesting anyway. Please consider filing an issue on the GitHub repo for the library if you'd like a new feature or concept to be added.

@slender iron how did you figure out the endianness of the ARM_MPU_RASR MPU functions? They don't seem to have usable documentation anywhere

idle owl Jun 9, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

@slender iron It's electioncal.us, correct?

slender iron Jun 9, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

@idle owl yup! "cal as in calendar"

#

@ionic elk no idea

#

I don't know why you think I figured it out

idle owl Jun 9, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

Right. Wanted to mention it in the newsletter, but wanted to make sure I remembered it right.

slender iron Jun 9, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

thanks!

ionic elk Jun 9, 2020, 7:58 PM

@slender iron didn't you write the whole MPU section for the i.MX?

idle owl Jun 9, 2020, 7:58 PM

#

@slender iron What's a good once sentence description of it.... a website to provide election dates and information to folks around the US?
