Dynamic USB devices, revamped webassembly port, openamp, tls, vfs modules
This release of MicroPython adds support for dynamic USB devices defined in
Python, adds new `openamp`, `tls` and `vfs` modules, completely revamps the
webassembly port to add proxying between JavaScript and Python, and
implements significant code size optimisations for frozen modules. There
are also many other enhancements and bug fixes. Keep reading for a more
detailed summary of the main changes.
After a lot of design, development and testing, MicroPython now has full
support for user-defined USB devices. The interface is via a new
`machine.USBDevice` class, and this allows the user to specify the USB
descriptors and implement Python callbacks for USB endpoint transfers.
With this, any USB device can be implemented in pure Python. While the
`machine.USBDevice` interface is low-level and complete, there is a
higher-level USB library in `micropython-lib` that allows easier
implementation of devices, with examples for keyboard, mouse, MIDI and
serial CDC. This feature is currently available on rp2 and samd ports, and
other ports will follow in the future.
Support for the OpenAMP (asymmetric multiprocessing) protocol has been
added through the new `openamp` module. This allows MicroPython to control
other CPU cores in the system, to load and start processes and communicate
with them through endpoints. This feature is currently available on the
mimxrt and stm32 ports.
Two other new modules have been added: `vfs` and `tls`. The `vfs` module
contains all VFS (virtual filesystem) related functions and classes, such
as `mount`, `umount` and `VfsFat`. These were originally in the `os`
module but having them there is not compatible with CPython, so they have
been moved to their own dedicated module. They still exist in the `os`
module for now but will eventually be removed from there, so it's
recommended to start using the `vfs` module from now on. Similarly the new
`tls` module is an evolution of the `ssl` module, whereby all the existing
functionality in `ssl` has been moved to the `tls` module. This is done
because MicroPython's SSL interface is becoming increasingly different to
CPython's and moving this SSL/TLS functionality to a new `tls` module gives
it room to grow and obtain new features that are useful for embedded
applications. And compatibility with normal Python is still retained via a
pure Python implementation of the `ssl` module. One new feature in the new
`tls` module is the ability to register a certificate verification
callback.
Other additions include more methods on the `deque` object so it is
doubly-ended and supports iteration, and support for half-float 'e' format
in `struct.pack`/`struct.unpack`. Dynamic native modules have had some
additional runtime methods exposed, and the .mpy sub-version has been
increased from v6.2 to v6.3 (native code in .mpy files will need to be
recompiled, but bytecode does not and is still compatible).
There has also been significant code size optimisations for frozen modules.
A new internal `mp_proto_fun_t` type has been defined which allows the
common case of bytecode functions (as opposed to native code) to be stored
in frozen code without any additional overhead of the `mp_raw_code_t`
descriptor structure. All firmware builds using frozen modules will see a
significant decrease in size. Code size has also improved further for very
small targets by adding an option to remove the qstr hash bytes.
Internally in the source code the "STATIC" macro definition has been
removed. Code should now just use "static" instead. If you have C/C++
code that uses "STATIC" then either replace it with "static", or provide
your own #define to define "STATIC" as "static". See commit
decf8e6a8bb940d5829ca3296790631fcece7b21 for details.
Mbedtls has been updated to version 3.5.1. And network interface
constants, such as `IF_STA` and `SEC_WPA2`, have now been consolidated
across ports so they all live at the `WLAN` class level, for example
`network.WLAN.SEC_WPA2` (existing constants at the `network` module level
have been retained for backwards compatibility, but the new ones should be
preferred from now on).
The esp32 port has seen some important bug fixes in the BLE component, to
deinitialise without crashing, and increase the BLE task stack size. This
port also uses the new I2S IDF driver, and supports IDF 5.0.5 and 5.2.
There is support to enter the bootloader via `machine.bootloader()` and a
new `esp32.mcu_temperature()`, for ESP32-C3/S2/S3 devices.
The rp2 port has added the new `machine.USBDevice` dynamic USB driver, and
has had firmware performance optimisations applied to critical parts of the
runtime and VM, giving about a 10% performance boost. There is now direct
memory access to PIO and SPI FIFOs via proxy arrays, and bugs have been
fixed with threads, lightsleep and UART IRQ latency.
The stm32 port has integrated support for the new `openamp` module, which
is enabled on all Arduino boards. And firmware for Arduino boards now
freeze in additional Arduino-specific library code. There have been fixes
for internal flash writes on STM32H5 and STM32H7 MCUs (bank selection and
flashing of the last word in a buffer), an important fix to a SPI DMA
caching bug, an I2C clock enable fix for I2C4 on STM32F7 MCUs, and a fix
for the FDCAN source clock frequency on STM32G4 MCUs. Mboot has added
support for a new raw filesystem, to allow simpler and more robust firmware
updates.
The webassembly port has seen a significant overhaul in its structure, and
is now built as a JavaScript .mjs module that exports a user-friendly
JavaScript-level API which is inspired by the API provided by Pyodide
(which is a version of CPython that runs in the browser). This change is
motivated by the need to use MicroPython as an engine within Pyscript,
which is a platform for Python in the browser. New features in the
webassembly port include proxying of objects between Python and JavaScript,
a `js` module to interface with the JavaScript namespace, a `jsffi` module
for miscellaneous proxy helpers, top-level async code, JavaScript driven
asyncio support, automatic growing of the Python heap, integration of
JavaScript and Python finalisation for global memory management, more
`time` module functions, and support for build variants (following the unix
port).
The change in code size since the previous release for various ports is
(absolute and percentage change in the text section):
bare-arm: -220 -0.383%
minimal x86: -341 -0.184%
unix x64: +20168 +2.527%
stm32: -1692 -0.430%
cc3200: +256 +0.139%
esp8266: -8880 -1.260%
esp32: -3328 -0.194%
mimxrt: -408 -0.112%
renesas-ra: -464 -0.074%
nrf: -640 -0.341%
rp2: +5380 +1.626%
samd: +3224 +1.229%
The leading causes of these changes in code size are:
- bare-arm, minimal: disabling qstr hashing
- unix: updating mbedtls to version 3.5.1
- stm32: optimising size of frozen modules
- cc3200: addition of new `vfs` module, and bug fixes in the VM and array
type
- esp8266: disabling unused `MICROPY_DEBUG_PRINTERS` and optimising frozen
modules
- esp32, mimxrt, renesas-ra, nrf: optimising frozen modules
- rp2: addition of `machine.USBDevice`, enabling -O2 optimisations
- samd: addition of `machine.USBDevice`
Performance is effectively unchanged since the previous release on all
ports, except the rp2 port which sees a performance improvement of roughly
10%.
