If a port defines MICROPY_SOFT_TIMER_TICKS_MS then soft_timer assumes a
SysTick back end, and provides a soft_timer_next variable that sets when
the next call to soft_timer_handler() should occur.
Otherwise, a port should provide soft_timer_get_ms() and
soft_timer_schedule_at_ms() with appropriate semantics (see comments).
Existing users of soft_timer should continue to work as they did.

It turned out that the result of calling ticks_us() was always either odd
or even, depending on some internal state during boot. So the us-counter
was set to a 2 MHz input and the result shifted by 1. The counting period
is still long enough, since internally a (now) 63 bit value is used for us.
Before, both uwTick and mp_hal_ticks_ms() were used as clock source. That
assumes, that these two are synchronous and start with the same value,
which may be not the case for all ports. If the lag between uwTick and
mp_hal_ticks_ms() is larger than the timer interval, the timer would either
rush up until the times are synchronous, or not start until uwTick wraps
over.
As suggested by @dpgeorge, MICROPY_SOFT_TIMER_TICKS_MS is now used in
softtimer.c, which has to be defined in a port's mpconfigport.h with
the variable that holds the SysTick counter.
Note that it's not possible to switch everything in softtimer.c to use
mp_hal_ticks_ms() because the logic in SysTick_Handler that schedules
soft_timer_handler() uses (eg on mimxrt) the uwTick variable directly
(named systick_ms there), and mp_hal_ticks_ms() uses a different source
timer. Thus it is made fully configurable.
If USB CDC is connected and the board sends data, but the host does not
receive the data, the device locks up. This is fixed in this commit by
having a timeout of 500ms, after which time the transmission is skipped.
This removes the difference in the time.ticks_us() range between SAMD21 and
SAMD51.
The function mp_hal_ticks_us_64() is added and used for:
- SAMD51's mp_hal_ticks_us and mp_hal_delay_us().
For SAMD21, keep the previous methods, which are faster.
- mp_hal_ticks_ms() and mp_hal_tick_ms_64(), which saves some bytes
and removes a potential race condition every 50 days.
Also set the us-counter for SAMD51 to 16 MHz for a faster reading of the
microsecond value.
Note: With SAMD51, mp_hal_ticks_us_64() has a 60 bit range only, which is
still a long time (~36000 years).
It now prints lines like:
Pin("D9", mode=IN, pull=PULL_UP, GPIO=PA07)
or
LED("LED")
showing for consistency the names as given in pins.csv. For pins, the GPIO
numer is printed as well for a reference.
Porting PR #8040 by @hoihu to SAMD, following the commit
5873390226.
One small addition: before executing keyboard interrupt, the input buffer
is cleared.
The SAMD21 implementation is an adaption of @jimmo's code for STM32Lxx.
The only changes are the addresses and names of the port registers and the
timing parameters.
SAMD21: The precision is about +/-25ns at 48MHz clock frequency. The first
two cycles are about 40-60 ns longer than set. But still good enough to
drive a neopixel device.
SAMD51: The precision is about +/-30ns at 120MHz clock frequency. Good
enough to drive a neopixel device.
And use mp_hal_ticks_us() for SAM21's mp_hal_ticks_cpu(). The SAMD21 has
no CYCCNT register, and the SysTick register has only a 1 ms span (== 48000
count range).
Features are:
- 3 to 5 different frequency groups.
- Freq range of 1Hz - 24 MHz.
- Duty rate stays stable on freq change.
Keyword options to the PWM constructor:
- device=n Select a specific PWM device. If no device is specified, a free
device is chosen, if available at that pin.
- freq=nnnn
- duty_u16=nnnn
- duty_ns=nnnn
- invert=True/False Allowing two outputs on the same device/channel to have
complementary signals.
If both freq and duty are provided, PWM output will start immediately.
Pins at the same device have the same frequency. If the PWM output number
exceeds the number of channels at the PWM device, the effctive channel_no
is output_no % channel_count. So with a channel count of 4, output 7 is
assigned to channel 3. Pins at a certain channel have the same frequency
and duty rate, but may be seperately inverted.
Changes in this commit are:
- Use mphal_xx functions whenever possible.
- Remove obsolete includes.
- Clean up traces of a non-functional pin.irq() from earlier builds.
Pin.irq() will be added in further commits in a working manner.

- Add an interface for pin open-drain mode.
- Improve ticks_us() by using the us-counter.
- Improve ticks_cpu() by using the CPU's SysTick.
- Makefile: update to use new ASF4 files, support frozen manifest, and
include source files in upcoming commits
- boards/manifest.py: add files to freeze
