The idea is not fill the memory on the computer running a native instance and to be able to test on hardware. The test application is reworked similarly as the memarray test application. Macro are now overridable and printed at the beginnined of the test: this allows easier automatic testing
`led_init()` is already protected by an `#ifdef`, so no need for
the weak symbol.
The problem is that the weak function does not get overridden, even when
the board provides it's own led_init(), resulting in no LEDs being
initialized.
miniterm.py is a simple terminal program that is included with pyserial.
This means that it is available wherever pyterm can work. It allows raw
access, does line translation and passes through special characters.

For regular modules, adding files to BLOBS is sufficient to create the
corresponding headers.
Application modules are different, as they use a minimal makefile
(makefiles.application.inc.mk) to build, thus application level
variables are not available.
This commit makes Makefile.include pass BLOBS to the application
Makefile as APPLICATION_BLOBS, and application.inc.mk use that variable
as value for BLOBS.
The indirection is necessary so submakefiles (e.g., those visited by
DIRS) do not hard override BLOBS.
The setter function approach makes this switchable at runtime (antenna
diversity?).
Documentation is added both to the board introduction page and the
individual pins and functions.
The particle-{argon,boron,xenon} all have a uFL connector and a PCB
antenna for 2.4GHz radio, connected by a SKY13351-378LF switch
configured by a VCTL[12] pin pair.
This sets the default configuration to use the PCB antenna, as driving
an unconnected antenna will deteriorate radio performance.
In order to flash AVR devices, avrdude needs the ability to reset them:
Those using a bootloader will only enter it after a reset, and those programmed
via ISP also need a reset to enter ISP mode.
Sadly, avrdude has no option to reset the board. But running it without commands
will read and print the boards identification and fuse settings. For this, as
reset is needed. This commit uses this side-effect reset to implement make reset
for all AVR based boards
The ATmega1284P can be run on a breadboard with no external components, except
for a power supply and (if access to the serial is required) an USB-TTL adapter.
This commit adds it as a "board".
The 'msba2' common files have accumulated many empty files are files that
do nothing.
This makes reasoning about the boards needlessly difficult.
Trim down on `common/msba2/` so that it now only contains the setup for the
UART/bootloader based flashing.
This should eventuelly be moved to `makefiles/tools/`
