Peripheral configured:
- 5 UARTs for stdio via STLink, Arduino connector, PMOD connector,
STMOD+ connector and ESP-01 connector
- 1 I2C available on Arduino connector and STMOD+ connector
- 2 SPIs available on Arduino connector and PMOD connector
This is quick solution to avoid wrapping around after 4294967 milliseconds.
It uses xtimer_now_usec64 instead of xtimer_now_usec.
Notice that this is more expansive than the previous solution, especially
on AVR systems.
The correct way to overrride the malloc family of functions in newlib-nano is
to provide the *_r (reentrant) variants. Newlib implements the "normal"
functions on top of these (see the newlib source code). Also, internally it calls
the *_r functions when allocating buffers.
If only the "normal" non-reentrant functions are provided this will mean that
some of the code will still use the vanilla newlib allocator. Furthermore, if
one uses the whole heap as a pool for TLSF then the system may in the best case
crash as there is no enough memory for its internall allocations or in the worst
case function eratically (this depends on how the heap reserved, there is an
upcomming series of commits in that direction).
This commit splits the handling between newlib and native. It also prepares the
ground for future work on the pool initialization.
Right now I could only test this in ARM and native and I cannot ensure it will
work on other platforms. Replacing the system's memory allocator is not something
that can be taken lightly and will inevitably require diving into the depths of
the libc. Therefore I would say that using TLSF as a system wide allocator is ATM
supported officially only on those plaftorms.
Testing:
Aside from reading the newlib sources, you can see the issue in a live system
using the debugger.
Compile any example (with or without tlsf-malloc), grab a debugger and place
a breakpoint in sbrk and _sbrk_r. Doing a backtrace will reveal it gets called
by _malloc_r.
A note says "The nomips16 attribute should not really be needed,
it works around a toolchain issue in 2016.05-03."
In fact, in 2018.09-03, the attribute leads to this error:
```cpu/mips32r2_common/thread_arch.c:191:1: error: ‘_mips_handle_exception’ redeclared with conflicting ‘nomips16’ attributes```
This this commit removes the attribute.
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.
TCP options have up to three fields (kind, length, value). The
current code only checks for the presence of the first field. Before
accessing the second field (length) the code must ensure that a length
field is even present.
