Change documentation on return codes in periph/timer API to
return 0 on success and (-1) on error by default.
For timer_init this was already the case, but for timer_set,
timer_set_absolute, and timer_clear this is now changed
from 1 to 0 for success, while error remains (-1).
The INTFLAGS register is cleared by writing a 1 to the corresponding interrupt
flag bit. From the samr21's manual:
> Writing a zero to this bit has no effect.
> Writing a one to this bit clears the Compare 0 interrupt flag.
This is a common pattern in flag registers.
This RTT driver is using or-equal to clear the flags, which means it can
possibly clear other interrupts. There's a small chance that one event is
missed if it happens very close to another event.
Credits to @benpicco, @dylad for pointing out missing fixes.
When flashing some applications the flasher sometimes gets stuck which
prevents flashing after.
It may be from a specific firmware or operation but do not have one yet.
Connect with reset asserted fix flashing from this state.
It was found after the `stm32f3discovery` get stuck in a non-flashable mode
after some firmwares.
- Moved compiler & linker flags from boards/common/msba2 to cpu/arm7_common
- Moved dependency to newlib nano to cpu/arm7_common
- Moved config to link in cpu/startup.o to cpu/arm7_common
llvm-ar behaves weidly when creating thin archive. This only manifests
itself when using arduino sketches as these are built from the "bin"
directory.
Specifically, given a directory "m" and an object in "m/obj.o " an
invocation with CWD==m:
```
llvm-ar rcTs ../m.a obj.o
```
Will create a maformed archive. Binutils does not have any issue with this.
The following command, executed with CWD==m/.. works:
```
llvm-ar rcTs m.a m/obj.o
```
The trick used in this commit is to put the source files in a different
directory than the object files and compile from there.
- add init_schedstatistics function to be called after
auto_init, that way xtimer_is init is called before
the first call to xtimer_now
- register schedstatics code as a callback to be executed
on each sched_run()
Enable the handling of flashing `softdevice.hex` when flashing the firmware
for openocd.
However, for flashing, only the `hexfile` and `binfile` can currently be used.
The `elffile` is generated with local pages aligned to `0x10000` which makes
the program starting at `0x1f000` be flashed from `0x10000` with padding bytes
even if the `.text` section is indeed at `0x1f000`:
readelf --sections bin/nrf52dk/gnrc_networking.elf
...
[ 1] .text PROGBITS 0001f000 00f000 00f698 00 AX 0 0 16
...
readelf --segments bin/nrf52dk/gnrc_networking.elf
...
LOAD 0x000000 0x00010000 0x00010000 0x1e6a0 0x1e6a0 R E 0x10000
...
The padding bytes would go through `verify_image` in `openocd` so be expected
to not be overwritten but are by `softdevice.hex`
Using --nmagic at link time removes the local page alignement but would
need dedicated testing.
