It was intended to allow changing baudrate on shared spi/i2c. There's no
advantage in using it for PWM or PIO, and makes it less usable because you have to
have `embassy-embedded-hal` as a dep to use it.
execution wraps around after the end of instruction memory and wrapping
works with this, so we may as well allow program loading across this
boundary. could be useful for reusing chunks of instruction memory.
the many individual sets aren't very efficient, and almost no checks
were done to ensure that the configuration written to the hardware was
actually valid. this adresses both of these.
programs contain information we could pull from them directly and use to
validate other configuration of the state machine instead of asking the
user to pull them out and hand them to us bit by bit. unfortunately
programs do not specify how many in or out bits they use, so we can only
handle side-set and wrapping jumps like this. it's still something though.
it's only any good for PioPin because there it follows a pattern of gpio
pin alternate functions being named like that, everything else can just
as well be referred to as `pio::Thing`
this *finally* allows sound implementions of bidirectional transfers
without blocking. the futures previously allowed only a single direction
to be active at any given time, and the dma transfers didn't take a
mutable reference and were thus unsound.
we can only have one active waiter for any given irq at any given time.
allowing waits for irqs on state machines bypasses this limitation and
causes lost events for all but the latest waiter for a given irq.
splitting this out also allows us to signal from state machines to other
parts of the application without monopolizing state machine access for
the irq wait, as would be necessary to make irq waiting sound.
move all methods into PioStateMachine instead. the huge trait wasn't
object-safe and thus didn't have any benefits whatsoever except for
making it *slightly* easier to write bounds for passing around state
machines. that would be much better solved with generics-less instances.
not requiring a PioInstance for splitting lets us split from a
PeripheralRef or borrowed PIO as well, mirroring every other peripheral
in embassy_rp. pio pins still have to be constructed from owned pin
instances for now.
merge into PioInstance instead. PioPeripheral was mostly a wrapper
around PioInstance anyway, and the way the wrapping was done required
PioInstanceBase<N> types where PIO{N} could've been used instead.
add an hd44780 example for pio. hd44780 with busy polling is a pretty
complicated protocol if the busy polling is to be done by the
peripheral, and this example exercises many pio features that we don't
have good examples for yet.
