Espruino 2v05

[gfwilliams]

Posted at 2020-04-17 by @gfwilliams

This is a truly massive one - it has been a while coming! Some massive additions though...

It's worth noting that Bangle.js KickStarter units (and Puck.js v2 when released) shipped with a 2v05 release, which is kindof a pre-release. I couldn't release all other boards at the same
time because of issues with increased firmwware size on some boards.

Additions

• Add Array.includes
• Added Graphics.getFont/setFont/getFonts
• Added Graphics.getFontHeight
• Added option to compile in 6x8 fixed-width fonts
• Added option to build in TensorFlow Lite for AI
• nRF52: Add NRF.nfcPair(...) and OOB pairing to allow tap to pair over BLE
• nRF52: Add NRF.nfcAndroidApp(...) to launch an Android app on touch
• Graphics.setFont("4x6",2) will now double the size of a bitmap font
• Graphics.drawImage can now take a String of data for an image (eg. direct from Storage)
• require("Flash").write operations no longer need to be aligned

• Add XON/XOFF flow control to Bluetooth LE UART (on by default)
• Add a fast path for non-rotated non-scaled Graphics.drawImage
• Add E.showMenu, deprecate Pixl.menu - use a common function to ease porting between devices
• Added E.showPrompt, E.showAlert for Bangle.js and Pixl.js
• Pixl.js - check '.splash' file at startup and use it for splash screen if it's there
• Added E.defrag to perform defragmentation - still beta!
• Flash Strings: On Bangle.js allow JS code (and other Strings) to be accessed without loading them completely from Flash
• Allow g.setColor/setBgColor to take hex Strings of the form '#00ff00'
• Add Graphics.toColor, and allow 4 bit Mac palette to be mapped to 8 bit web palette
• Add Graphics.setClipRect to allow draw ops to be restricted to a certain area
• Graphics: new g.fillPoly to handle irregular polygons
• Graphics: drawEllipse/fillEllipse now work correctly for very small ellipses
• Allow Storage.read to make partial file reads (fix Gadgetbridge won't connect before connecting via Chrome browser #1744)
• Add Graphics.reset, and ensure it (and g.clear(1)) unreference custom fonts
• Added E.CRC32 for easy testing of data validity
• Add E.on('kill' event for executing code before load/reset/save/etc
• Allow optional load("filename") to load a JS file from Storage (was just load())
• Add .toJSON handling for JSON.stringify, and add Date.toJSON (fix Can't open launcher with BTN 2 #1754)
• Add Storage.writeJSON to avoid any confusion of writing arrays/numbers/etc
• Add more info about flash memory to process.env/process.memory
• Add Graphics.quadraticBezier()
• Allow Graphics.setFont to be used with custom fonts (fix How to connect espruino and the receiver from an electric skateboard??? #1762)
• Add E.setConsole/getConsole to allow console to be moved (including to 'null')
• Add StorageFile.getLength() to get the current length of a StorageFile
• Storage.list() can now take a RegEx/string to filter returned results
• Storage.readJSON now has optional 2nd arg that stops it from creating exceptions on bad JSON
• Add euro symbol to 6x8 and 4x6 fonts as char code 128 (ISO10646-1)
• ESP32: add environment variable COMPORT to be used with make flash
• Puck.js: v2 Support: Accelerometer/Gyro/temp
• Puck.js: Self test now sets Puck.js BLE name if there's an error
• Puck.js: Allow D21(RST) to be used as normal IO pin

Fixes

• Fix (Number.toFixed) rounding, eg (1234.505).toFixed(2)
• Fix issue where Util Timer timers could break after a call to setTime
• nRF5x: Support connection to devices with RANDOM_PRIVATE_RESOLVABLE and RANDOM_PRIVATE_NON_RESOLVABLE addresses

• nRF52: fix issue where restarting the softdevice would reset the RTC (fixes Bangle.js watchdog reset)
• nRF52: fix issue where advertising flags could get out of sync after SD restart
• nRF52: Fix passkey pairing if setSecurity is after setServices
• Fix pretokenise of RegExp literals (fix Bangle.js charger hot and plug melted, how to get a spare. #1786)
• Fixed REPL to allow chars with char code >=128
• Fixed lex tokenToString for 'break'
• Fix SyntaxError when using pretokenise + getters (fix Kotlin support #1745)
• Ensure it's possible to get a solid background when using 4x6 font
• Fix parseInt("0b",16) as well as some other non-compliant behaviour (fix First trials - and errors #1722)
• Espruino WiFi: WiFi module now makes BOOT pin open circuit when sleeping - saves ~2mA

Tweaks

• nRF52: If a central is connected to Espruino but isn't reading from UART, don't block waiting to send data
• Allow heatshrink compress/decompress to work even if flat buffers can't be allocated
• Lower thresholds for XON/XOFF to give more headroom with devices that are slow to respond
• nRF5x: Ensure gatt.connect silently succeeds if we're already connected to the device
• Improve free list ordering when Flat Strings are freed
• Added ability to compile Espruino to JavaScript with Emscripten
• JSON.stringify now escapes using the less efficient JSON subset of escape characters (fix Show Temperature - Why code Not Stable for extended period of time? #1737)
• Add append optimisation for string '+', and don't append to flat/native/etc strings (fix [Solved] Analog Clock issue #1746)
• ESP8266_4MB: add optional build flag FLASH_1MB for ESP8255 & ESP01s with 1MB flash
• ESP8266: add optional build flag NO_FOTA to remove flash over the air functionality
• Increase 'Storage' library's max filename size to 24 bytes (from 8)

Removals

• Pixl.js remove SHA512 to make room for new NFC functionality
• Pixl.js: Removed AES functionality - unfortunately we're running low on space for it
• Original Espruino Board: Removed Vector font and don't add rotated drawImage to save flash
• Espruino Original: Removed Debugger, Tab complete, AT command networking from WIZnet networking build to free enough Flash
• Espruino Pico: Added a normal build that doesn't contain CC3000 or WIZnet support
• Espruino Pico: Removed Debugger and Vector font from WIZnet/CC3000 networking versions to free enough Flash
• HYSTM32_28: Removed from build due to lack of interest and difficulty with increased firmware size
• MDBT42Q: Remove AES encryption libs by default to free up more flash memory
• Microbit: Add SAVE_ON_FLASH_EXTREME flag to ensure builds keep working

Additions since KickStarter Build

• Bangle.js: Add 'meridian' to locale library
• Bangle.js: Don't load .boot0/1/2/3 if BTN1 is pressed
• Bangle.js: Now clear entire top/bottom row if there are widgets in it (fix Flickering Problem - Screen Buffering but also turn off Display #1790)
• Bangle.js: fix post-kickstarter issue adding widgets in bottom of screen (Flickering Problem - Screen Buffering but also turn off Display #1790)
• Bangle.js: fix magnetometer self-calibration
• Fix bitwise rshift by 0 to be unsigned (fix Battery lifetime and lifetime of other components? #1784)
• Add Storage check at startup and erase everything if storage looks corrupt (fix OPT3001 read not working #1766)
• Fix restriction on StorageFile filename length (8 to 28)
• Fix array sort when compare fn returns floats <1 (fix Banglejs.com/apps errors #1798)

Hi Gordon,

I have a question:

With the previous version the following code ran correctly, but now I get an error:

my code:

A2.write(0); // GND

var g;

var MONTHS = [

function draw() {
  g.clear();
  var t = new Date();
  var date = t.getDate()+" "+MONTHS[t.getMonth()]+" "+t.getFullYear();
  var time = t.getHours()+":" +
       ("0"+t.getMinutes()).substr(-2);
  var secs = ("0"+t.getSeconds()).substr(-2);

  g.flip();

function onInit() {
  clearInterval();
  // Setup SPI
  var spi = new SPI();
  // Initialise the LCD
  g = require("PCD8544").connect(SPI1,A6,B0,B1, function() {
    // When it's initialised, set up an animation at 20fps (50ms per frame)
    setInterval(draw, 1000);
  });
}

var next_state = 1;
function swap() {
  A3.write(next_state);
  next_state = !next_state;
}

function swap_on_down() {
  if (digitalRead(BTN1) == 1) swap();
}

setWatch(swap_on_down, BTN1, true);

onInit();

Do I need to adjust the code for this?

That's a very odd one. Please could you post this in a new thread and let me know which board you're using?

If you delete SPI1.setup({ baud: 1000000, sck:A5, mosi:A7 }); and then use this code:

 // Setup SPI
  var spi = new SPI();
  spi.setup({ baud: 1000000, sck:A5, mosi:A7 });
  // Initialise the LCD
  g = require("PCD8544").connect(spi,A6,B0,B1, function() {

In your onInit function I imagine it'll fix it though.

@reinoud Have a look at post #2, section "Removal". Probably the vector fonts had to be removed due to space restrictions for your board.

[espruino-discuss]

Posted at 2020-05-06 by Reinoud

Good point, I didn't notice that...

I tried to flash with all features (I selected the second option here):

But I still get the same error...

[espruino-discuss]

Posted at 2020-05-06 by Reinoud

Ok, I tried the following:

1. Downloaded espruino_2v04_espruino_1r3.bin and flashed, everything is ok!
2. Downloaded espruino_2v05_espruino_1r3.bin and flashed, same error is back...

I Guess none of the 2v05 versions have the vector font...

I'l stick to 2v04 for a while then! :-)

thanks and kind regards,

Reinoud

Hi - yes, sorry, that was a mistake in the docs by the look of it - the vector font had to be taken out of those builds.

I guess I could do a third build option with no networking, but the other features?

[espruino-discuss]

Posted at 2020-05-06 by Reinoud

That would be nice! Another question; the clock seems to go a bit quicker than it should. I read somewhere that I can add a crystal which would fix that. I have a crystal lying around, is it possible to test if the crystal works correctly?

[gfwilliams]

Posted at 2020-05-07 by @gfwilliams

I've just started a new forum post at http://forum.espruino.com/conversations/347042/ with links to info on adding crystals.

If you've got other questions, please can you start a new post? Just go to the forum for your type of board (http://forum.espruino.com/microcosms/1083/ for the original Espruino) then click "Post a Conversation" in the top right.

That way other people who are searching for similar problems can find it.

Do you want me to start a new thread for this too or are you already working on it?

[gfwilliams]

Posted at 2020-05-07 by @gfwilliams

No, that's already done - so the next release will have a separate build in it. In fact the 'cutting edge' builds from http://www.espruino.com/binaries/travis/master/ now no longer have networking but do have vector fonts, so they'd work for you.

[gfwilliams]

Posted at 2020-05-07 by @gfwilliams

Just a note that hardware SPI write is now fixed on the cutting edge builds too. The fix will be in the 2v06 release

very good! thanks!

Is that this one: espruino_2v05.47_espruino_1r3.bin
