Update the documentation to say it can also be 'ELFFILE'
The first version was setting it to EFLFILE by default but the default
behavior was removed to prevent hiding errors.
It can also be overwritten for application specific needs, like when
using 'riotboot'.
Initializing the stdio file descriptors in global reent structure with newlib fake stdio file descriptors led to the problem that newlib stdio functions printf and puts were not working since they can't operate on these fake stdio file descriptors. Therefore, this initialization was removed. Now, the real stdio file descriptors as created automatically by newlib are used. Specific functions `printf`, `puts`, `getchar`and `putchar` are not required any longer and are removed now.
Modules newlib and newlib_syscalls_default are now used by default. Conditional compilations for MODULE_NEWLIB_SYSCALLS_DEFAULT as well as alternative code are removed completely.
- Removed cc110x driver
- Updated all makefiles
- Kept both board specific configurations and support for it in RIOT's
upper layers, so re-implementations don't need to start from zero
printf and puts used ets_printf before. Unfortunately, ets_printf adds an additional \r for each \n which is not consistent with other RIOT platforms. As a result some automatic tests failed. Therefore, both functions write now character-wise directly to the UART interface.
Python dictionaries are not guaranteed to be ordered until version
3.7. In 3.6 they are ordered too, but that is an implementation
detail. riotdocker seems to be using 3.5.
As it stands now, it would not be a problem if the test commands
are run in a random order, except that:
- It would result in non-reproduceable tests.
- It hinders testing other functionality, such as exiting the shell.
CTRL-C cancels the current line, similar to how getty works.
This is useful if one is using a dumb terminal to communicate with
a node, as it saves having to repeatedly type backspace to discard the
current line. It also helps when connecting to an already running node,
as one does not know what is on the line buffer, the safest thing to do
is to begin by sending a ctrl-C.
This is a suggestion of @benemorius.
For test scripts, a terminal that does not modify the input and output
streams, configured without local echo, is preferred as it ensures the
test setup is introducing as little noise as possible.
Use test_utils_interactive_sync for synchronizing some case treat
the output before `reset` as the start of the test,
which fails for some boards/configurations.
Add an implementation that waits for 's' to print 'START' and return.
If 'r' is given is prints 'READY' to allow querying for state.
The help and answered string have to be different to not match the other.
Using puts/getchar was smaller than using `stdio_read/stdio_write` on the
example I tested with `esp32`.
The value must be saved from the original value to allow restoring it.
This has currently no impact as 'makefiles/defaultmodules.inc.mk'
and 'DISABLE_MODULE' are ignored in this parsing.
Remove unconditionally setting 'BOARD' to an hardwritten value.
The definition must be moved before including 'Makefile.tests_common' as
it defines 'BOARD ?= native'.
This remove executing buildtest `for` loop in docker.
When building completely in docker, 'buildtest' would hide issues when
the host toolchain would be used when doing `make all` directly.
It has the consequence that it now starts a container for each
compilation which is slower.
The previous behavior can be reproduced by using
BUILD_IN_DOCKER=1 make buildtest-indocker
A side effect is also that now `BUILDTEST_MAKE_REDIRECT` would work when
doing `buildtest` with docker.
Add a 'buildtest-indocker' that forces executing 'buildtest' for loop
completely inside the container.
It prevents starting one container per compilation wich is slower but
it could hide errors where the host toolchain would be used
It is currently equivalent to `buildtest` but will change when the
`buidtest` handling will be move outside of `BUILD_IN_DOCKER`.
Display an error when executed without BUILD_IN_DOCKER=1.
Memory management function like `malloc`, `calloc`, `realloc` and `free` must not be preempted when they operate on allocator structures. To avoid such a preemption, wrappers around these functions are used which simply disable all interrupts for the time of their execution.
From the gnrc_pktbuf_mark documentation:
It's not guaranteed that `result->data` points to the
same address as the original `pkt->data.
Thus it should be necessary to update the `hdr` pointer.
When running tests using 'nordic_softdevice_ble', the 'softdevice.hex'
file must also be taken into account for the test hashing and be
uploaded to the separated murdock testing boards.
When listed as dependency from `test-input-hash` the file must have a
target, which he has not. The file is implicitly created when compiling
`ELFFILE` so declare it as order only dependency.
In practice `BASELIBS` could be enough or even `pkg-build-softdevice`
but I do not want to be depend that much on internals there.
