Move all exception strings to IRAM and out of both PMEM (illegal) and add
output of any assert() failinf conditions.
The exception handler may be called while the SPI interface is in a bad
state. This means no PROGMEM reads are allowed, and all data and functions
used must be in system RAM or IRAM.
Add a new helper macro, ets_printf_P(), which places a constant string in
IRAM and copies it to the stack before calling the real ets_printf().
This makes the code simpler to read as no unwieldy combinations of
ets_putc/ets_printf/... are required to output anything.
The old handler also mistakenly used PSTR() strings in some places, so
fix those with this patch as well.
Gives back ~180 bytes of heap to every sketch built as the exception handler
is always included an application.
Every assert() includes a __FILE__ constant string to RODATA which
can be quite large as it includes the complete path as well as
the filename.
Move that string into PMEM, and update the postmortem to work with
either PMEM or RAM strings for dumping abort/assert/exception
information.
* 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
