* Add flash for vtable destination, make it default
Add an option for placing vtables in flash to complement the existing
iram and heap options. "make flash"
Now that there is a way to change it, move to vtables in flash as default
as only users with interrupts which use vtables require the vtable to
be in RAM. For those users, if the tables are small enough they can put
them in IRAM and save heap space for their app. If not, then the vtables
can be placed in HEAP which supports much larger tables.
* Add VTable menu, FLASH as default, remove Makefile
Convert from manual "make" operated app.ld creation to runtime creation
whose options are selected from the build menu.
Use a prelink recipe to create the output app.ld file each run, without
need for any special tools.
Update the boards.txt.py script to generate this new config.
GCC places vtables in .rodata, with a mangled name of "_ZTV*." Because
these are simply address jump tables, there is no need to place them in
RAM. Instead, have the linker place them in the .text (aka IRAM) section.
This will free up a variable amount of heap space, depending on the number
of classes with virtual functions used in any particular project.
- update ssl_client_new signature
- add max fragment length negotiation support (hardcoded to 4096 bytes)
- build axtls with -f{function,data}-sections, ~1k less DRAM usage,
~3k less flash
- strip prefix from build paths in debug symbols
- Update SDK header files and libraries to SDK 2.0.0 plus 2.0.0_16_08_09
patch
- Remove mem_manager.o from libmain.a (replaced with umm_malloc)
- Disable switch from DIO to QIO mode for certain flash chips (saves
IRAM space)
- Add user_rf_cal_sector_set; it points to rf_init_data sector.
- Change the way rf_init_data is spoofed.
This is now done by wrapping spi_flash_read and returning the data we
need during startup sequence.
- Place lwip library into flash using linker script instead of section
attributes (saves IRAM space)
* Use newlib libc library
This change adds libcmin.a, which is created from newlib libc by selectively removing some of the object files (mostly related to heap management).
The list of files is available in tools/sdk/lib/make_libcmin.sh. Files which are not needed are commented out.
This change adds support for various functions which were missing, like sscanf, strftime, etc.
* Fix some of the time functions
* Redirect stdout to serial
* Implement __putc_r
* Switch to custom newlib build
