This avoids the limitation of having a single UART available at runtime, without

Because the CC2538 has a multi-byte SPI RX FIFO, flushing the buffer
requires more than just a single read. This adds a loop that empties the
entire RX buffer on a FLUSH().
Different SPI chips needs different SPI settings. This commit adds a
function that allows chip drivers to configure the SPI peripheral before
using it.
The frame pin the driver was using as a chip select does not work as
most devices expect it to. It toggles after every byte, and most chips
interpret that as end of message. To make drivers more reliable, each
chip driver should setup a GPIO and assert it as needed.
The CC2538 currently has two addressing options: a hardcoded address set
at compile time or the address stored in primary address section of the
info page. This commit adds the option to choose the secondary location
of the ieee address from the info page, or any memory address.
To use, define `IEEE_ADDR_CONF_USE_SECONDARY_LOCATION` in `project-conf.h`
or similar.
For example:
#define IEEE_ADDR_CONF_USE_SECONDARY_LOCATION 1
Some CFLAGS and LDFLAGS previously only enabled with SMALL=1 have
now been enabled for all builds, regardless of the value of SMALL.
Therefore, from now on, SMALL only chooses between -Os and -O2
As discussed in #503, -Os was broken with one of the toolchains
recommended in the platform's README and for that reason we were
using -O2 by default.
This commit sets the default to -Os and updates the README to no
longer recommend the toolchain in question
lpm.c needs to #include lpm.h in order to get the definition of
lpm_periph_permit_pm1_func_t, which made the replacement macros conflict with
the function definitions for the LPM_CONF_ENABLE == 0 case. This change fixes
this issue by #if-ing out the code in lpm.c in that case. Also, the replacement
macro for lpm_register_peripheral() was missing in that case, which is fixed
here.

If a project needs to use some libraries at link stage, then the corresponding
linker options (e.g. '-lm') have to be passed after any .o file depending on
these libraries. Hence, LDFLAGS cannot be used to add such options when invoking
$(LD) in Makefile.cc2538, or it should be moved to the correct location.
Instead, this change adds TARGET_LIBFILES to the correct location, like most
other Contiki targets.

Some SoC data requires huge alignments. E.g., the µDMA channel control table has
to be 1024-byte aligned. This table was simply aligned to 1024 bytes in the C
code, which had the following consequences, wasting a lot of RAM:
- As this table could be placed anywhere in .bss, there could be an alignment
gap of up to 1023 bytes between the preceding data and this table.
- The size of this table was also aligned to 1024 bytes, regardless of
UDMA_CONF_MAX_CHANNEL, making this configuration option supposed to save RAM
just useless.
- .bss was also aligned to at least 1024 bytes, creating a huge alignment gap
between .data and .bss.
Instead of relying on the compiler to force this alignment, and on the linker to
automatically place data, this change places carefully such SoC data in RAM
using the linker script. A dedicated section is created to place such SoC data
requiring huge alignments, and it is put at the beginning of the SRAM in order
to ensure a maximal alignment without any gap. In this way, the alignment of
.bss also remains normal, and the size of this table is not constrained by its
alignment, but only by its contents (i.e. by UDMA_CONF_MAX_CHANNEL).
In the case of the µDMA channel control table, the data is still zeroed by
udma_init() (instead of also being zeroed as part of .bss).

Normally, the linker does not sort files and sections matched by wildcards, so
they are placed in the order in which they are seen during link. If numerous
objects with different alignments are mixed, or if objects with unusually large
alignments are present, this very likely leads to a lot of space being wasted
because of accumulated alignment gaps.
This commit forces input sections to be sorted by alignment (unless this is
overridden by the linker script), which decreases the number and the size of
alignment gaps, thus saving space.
For a typical Contiki project, this change saves nearly 1 kiB, mainly in .bss.
Note that this behavior is only enabled if the SMALL make variable is set to 1,
because this makes more sense for a size optimization.

The .nrdata section is volatile, so its initialization must be controlled by the
application, and not be automatically done by the startup code. It should
neither be zeroed like .bss, nor be initialized from data in flash memory like
.data. This was already supposed to be the case, but the output section type of
.nrdata was not set to NOLOAD, causing the generated ELF .nrdata section header
to be of type PROGBITS instead of NOBITS, i.e. load data was generated to be
programmed in RAM, thus producing huge unprogrammable .bin files.

The clock adjustments made when waking up from PM1/2 were very inaccurate. If
relying on ContikiMAC's rtimer to sleep, this led to Contiki's software clock
time, seconds and etimers to be 2.5 s slower after each min, i.e. 1 hour slower
after each day, which is a show stopper issue for most real-life applications.
This was caused by a lack of accuracy in several pieces of code during sleep
entry and wake-up:
- It was difficult to synchronize the calls to RTIMER_NOW() before and after
sleep with the deactivation and activation of the SysTick peripheral caused
by PM1/2. This caused an inaccuracy in the corrective number of ticks passed
to clock_adjust().
- The value passed to clock_adjust() was truncated from an rtimer_clock_t
value, but the accumulated error caused by these truncated bits was ignored.
- The SysTick peripheral had to be stopped during the call to clock_adjust().
Rather than creating even more complicated clock adjustment mechanisms that
would probably still have mixed results as to accuracy, this change simply uses
the Sleep Timer counter as a base value for Contiki's clock and seconds
counters. The tick from the Systick peripheral is still used as the interrupt
source to update Contiki's clocks and timers. When running, the SysTick
peripheral and the Sleep Timer are synchronized, so combining both is not an
issue, and this allows not to alter the rtimer interrupt mechanism using the
Sleep Timer. The purpose of the Sleep Timer is to be an RTC, so it is the
perfect fit for the clock module, all the more it can not be disturbed by PM1/2.
If the 32-kHz XOSC is used, the Sleep Timer is also very accurate. If the
32-kHZ RCOSC is used, it is calibrated from the 32-MHz XOSC, so it is also
accurate, and the 32753-Hz vs. 32768-Hz systematic error in that case is
negligible, all the more one would use the 32-kHz XOSC for better accuracy.
Besides fixing this time drift issue, this change has several benefits:
- clock_time(), clock_seconds() and RTIMER_NOW() start synchronized, and they
change at the same source pace.
- If clock_set_seconds() is called, then clock_seconds() indicates one more
second almost exactly one second later, then exactly each second. Before this
change, clock_seconds() was not synchronized with clock_set_seconds(), so the
value returned by the former could be incremented immediately after the call
to the latter in some cases.
- The code tied to the clock module is simpler and more robust.

Whole elapsed seconds are added to secs first, so only the remaining subsecond
ticks should then be subtracted from second_countdown in order to decide whether
secs should be incremented again.
Otherwise, secs is not correctly updated in some cases, typically if the bit 7
of ticks is 1. E.g., with ticks = 128 (i.e. exactly 1 s elapsed) and
second_countdown = 128, secs was first incremented as expected, then 128 was
subtracted from second_countdown, giving 0 and triggering an unwanted second
increment of secs. Or with ticks = 129 (i.e. 1 s + 1 tick) and
second_countdown = 1, secs was first incremented as expected, then 129 was
subtracted from second_countdown, giving 128 and missing a second increment of
secs that should have occurred because second_countdown wrapped around.

During PM1+, the hardware timer used to implement the Contiki clock is frozen,
so clock_adjust() needs to be called when exiting those modes in order to
compensate for the clock ticks missed while the timer was frozen. Doing so
changes the Contiki clock time, so etimer_request_poll() needs to be called in
order to inform the etimer library that an etimer might have expired.
Note that waiting for the next clock ISR to call etimer_request_poll() is
unreliable because the system might go back to sleep beforehand.

When returning from PM1/2, the sleep timer value (used by RTIMER_NOW()) is not
up-to-date until a positive edge on the 32-kHz clock has been detected after the
system clock restarted. To ensure an updated value is read, wait for a positive
transition on the 32-kHz clock by polling the SYS_CTRL_CLOCK_STA.SYNC_32K bit,
before reading the sleep timer value.
Because of this RTIMER_NOW() fixup, lpm_exit() has to be called at the very
beginning of ISRs waking up the SoC. This also ensures that all clocks and
timers are enabled at the correct frequency and updated before using them
following wake-up.
Without this fix, etimers could sometimes (randomly, depending on timings)
become ultra slow (observed from 10x to 40x slower than normal) if the system
exited PM1/2 very often. This issue occurred more often with PM1.

As recommended by the CC2538 User's Guide, set SYS_CTRL_CLOCK_CTRL.OSC_PD to 0
before asserting WFI, and set it to 1 after the system clock is sourced from the
32-MHz XOSC following wake-up. This allows to automatically start both
oscillators upon wake-up in order to partially hide the 32-MHz XOSC startup time
by the 16-MHz RCOSC startup time.

Create a dedicated header file with all the definitions for the flash lock bit
page and customer configuration area. This avoids duplicating those definitions
in the startup-gcc.c files of all CC2538-based platforms, and this also allows
to easily manipulate the CCA from outside startup-gcc.c (e.g. for on-the-air
firmware update).
The definitions are now complete contrary to what was in startup-gcc.c:
- Definitions have been added to select the bootloader backdoor pin and active
level if enabled.
- Definitions have been added to access the page and debug lock bits. The debug
lock bit can be used to prevent someone from reading back a programmed
firmware through JTAG if the firmware binary image has to be confidential,
which should be combined with a disabled bootloader backdoor.
- The application entry point is now tied to the beginning of the .text section
instead of to the beginning of the flash. This allows projects using custom
linker scripts to place the application entry point anywhere in the flash,
which can be useful e.g. for on-the-air firmware update.

The pending GPIO power-up interrupts have to be cleared in the ISRs in order not
to re-trigger the interrupts and the wake-up events.
The power-up interrupts of all pins are cleared for each port in the
corresponding port ISR. This is done after calling the registered callbacks so
that the callbacks can know which pin woke up the SoC. This is done after
clearing the regular interrupt in order to avoid getting a new wake-up interrupt
without the regular interrupt in the case of a new wake-up edge occurring
between the two clears.
