The mv instruction (which is usually implemented as `add rd, x0, r1`) is
changed to `add rd, x0, %input`. This can either be used as a load
immediate or as an move.
The code size grows by two bytes. This because GCC does not compress the
li instruction to the compressed version (even though this is possible).
Add ENABLE_DEBUG_VERBOSE flag, so that the noise during debugging can be
reduced. This is super helpful when testing under load, as otherwise there is
just too much noise in the output.
An earlier version of periph_eth used to always pack the first chunk of the
outgoing frame to the first DMA descriptor by telling the DMA to jump back
to the first descriptor within the last descriptor. This worked fine unless
the frame was send in one chunk (as e.g. lwip does), which resulted due to a
hardware bug in a frame being send out twice. For that reason, the behavior was
changed to cycle throw the linked DMA descriptor list in round-robin fashion.
However, the error checking was not updated accordingly. Hence, the error
check might run over (parts of) unrelated frames and fail to detect errors
correctly.
This commit fixes the issue and also provides proper return codes for errors.
Additionally, an DMA reset is performed on detected errors during RX/TX. I'm
not sure if/when this is needed, as error conditions are neigh impossible to
produce. But better be safe than sorry.
CPU_HAS_SRAM_BITBAND can be used to check whether bit-banding is supported for
all of SRAM. With partially supported bit-banding, this feature is more of a
foot gun that a valuable tool.
This commit fixes the CCA threshold range for set_cca_threshold.
Without this commit the threshold overflows when using values below
the receiver sensitivity.
This commit turns off the transceiver immediately after sending an ACK
frame in order to avoid unwanted emissions (see ERRATA ID 204).
When the radio stays in TX_ON without an explicit transition, the radio
keeps sending a spurious signal for some milliseconds.
This commit sets the correct value to the MCU_CTRL bit for the
cc2538_rf. This variable is used to detect when the radio is doing
transmission with CCA. Since this was not set to 1 when sending without
CCA, the `confirm_transmit` function returned -EAGAIN after the TX_DONE
event (which violates the HAL API).
This error was discovered using some Radio HAL riotctrl scripts by @LarsKowoll.
