In CMSIS 5.9.0, the compiler headers define `__VECTOR_TABLE`, which will be
substituted with its corresponding value (e.g., `__Vectors` for gcc).
However, the linker script in this port can't include compiler headers when
it's processed, so `__VECTOR_TABLE` is used as the literal variable name,
which results in an undefined linker error.
To fix this, the two possible values of `__VECTOR_TABLE` are both defined
in the linker script.

The RT1176 has two cores, but the actual firmware supports only the CM7.
There are currently no good plans on how to use the CM4.
The actual MIMXRT1170_EVK board is on par with the existing MIMXRT boards,
with the following extensions:
- Use 64 MB RAM for the heap.
- Support both LAN interfaces as LAN(0) and LAN(1), with LAN(1)
being the 1GB interface.
The dual LAN port interface can eventually be adapted as well for the
RT1062 MCU.
This work was done in collaboration with @alphaFred.
The new teensy loader keeps the file system under certain conditions:
- The file size is properly set in the file header.
- The header version is 4.3
These changes are implemented here, requiring a backport of
fsl_flexspi_nor_boot.c. There is still a problem with the command line
version of the teensy loader, which fails on the first attempt. At the
second attempt it works. The GUI version of the teensy loader is fine.
Replaces preprocessor macro for SDRAM option from #ifdef to #if in order to
allow always setting the define `MICROPY_HW_SDRAM_AVAIL` just with the
appropriate value 0/1. This eliminates one `if` in the Makefile.
By moving code to ITCM, like vm, gc, parse, runtime. The change affects
mostly the execution speed of MicroPython code. The speed is increased by
up to a factor of 6, especially for MCU with small cache.
Adds support for SDRAM via `SEMC` peripheral. SDRAM support can be
enabled in the mpconfigboard.mk file by setting `MICROPY_HW_SDRAM_AVAIL`
to `1` and poviding the size of the RAM via `MICROPY_HW_FLASH_SIZE`.
When SDRAM support is enabled the whole SDRAM is currently used used
for MicroPython heap.

Hyperflash is used by the MIMXRT1050_EVKB, MIMXRT1060_EVK and
MIMXRT1064_EVK boards.
This commit includes:
- add support for Hyperflash
- modify MIMXRT1060_EVK and MIMXRT1064_EVK to change from QSPI to
hyperflash.
- minor incidental changes to other boards so they still build
Note: Erasing a sector on the hyperflash is slow. It takes about a second,
which seems too long, but matches the data sheet.
This commit adds full support for a filesystem on all boards, with a block
device object mimxrt.Flash() and uos.VfsLfs2 enabled.
Main changes are:
- Refactoring of linker scripts to accomodate reserved area for VFS. VFS
will take up most of the available flash. 1M is reserved for code. 9K is
reserved for flash configuration, interrupts, etc.
- Addition of _boot.py with filesystem init code, called from main.c.
- Definition of the mimxrt module with a Flash class in modmimxrt.[ch].
- Implementation of a flash driver class in mimxrt_flash.c. All flashing
related functions are stored in ITCM RAM.
- Addition of the uos module with filesystem functions.
- Implementation of uos.urandom() for the sake of completeness of the uos
module.
It uses sample code from CircuitPython supplied under MIT license, which
uses the NXP SDK example code.
Done in collaboration with Philipp Ebensberger aka @alphaFred who
contributed the essential part to enable writing to flash while code is
executing, among other things.
