Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi, many thanks for everything!  

I tested the CPUSpeed() Example-Library-CFunction on page 61 of the Armmite F4 Manual and it freezes the system. Not the definition as library but the execution of CPUSpeed().

"..As an example you could save the following into the library:
CFunction CPUSpeed
00000000 3c02bf81 8c45f000 8c43f000 3c02003d 24420900 7ca51400 70a23002
3c040393 34848700 7c6316c0 00c41021 00621007 3c03029f 24636300 10430005
00402021 00002821 00801021 03e00008 00a01821 3c0402dc 34846c00 00002821
00801021 03e00008 00a01821
End CFunction
This would have the effect of adding a new function (called CPUSpeed) to MMBasic. You could even run it at
the command prompt:
> PRINT CPUSpeed()


ARMmite MMBasic Version 5.07.02b2

Yes that CFunction would be for PIC Micromite so wont work. I will update the manual with a more generic CFunction , but its just meant to show the idea that CFunctions / CSubs can be added to the library to extend functionality.

Armite F4 Manual.

The example code uses the back tick for comments.
and on page 70, the example for OPTION VCC has the curly quote instead of single quotes.

These can cause grief when copy and pasting code to upload.

If possible, can you convert all singe quotes to the ASCII single quote.
Not everyone uses MMEdit with auto-convert turned on.

A bug for you
print datetime$(epoch(now))
Error : 1702129568 is invalid (valid is -2147483648 to 2147483647)
> print datetime$(1)
Error : 1 is invalid (valid is -2147483648 to 2147483647)


Something for when you have the time...

Thanks,
Fixed in next beta for both ArmmiteF4 and ArmmiteH7.
Not so hard when they are already fixed in the Picomites!

As per the PicoMite Beta thread ">>" adds only 0s on the left. The Manual indicates if bit 63 = 1 then 1s are added.
I see benefits for both ways, but manual and firmware should agree.

Edit
CMM2 manual says it uses ">>>" for what the F4 and Pico manuals describe and ">>" for what the F4 and Pico do.

MMB4W same as F4 and Pico, and ">>>" gives 0 on all 3.

Below is from the Micromite manual. The SHIFT operators treat the 64bit number as unsigned. The CMM2 looks like it can handle either treating it as 64bit signed or unsigned. The F4 manual used a lot of the CMM2 manual so probably how the description got changed. H7 came from F4 manual. They all actually operate as per the micromites, so manuals need to be updated. The Picomites likely have the same history so just need the manual updated.
All the manuals have the section 64-bit Unsigned Integers as below, just the description of the shift operator needs fixing.


64-bit Unsigned Integers
The Micromite supports 64-bit signed integers. This means that there are 63 bits for holding the number and
one bit (the most significant bit) which is used to indicate the sign (positive or negative). However it is
possible to use full 64-bit unsigned numbers as long as you do not do any arithmetic on the numbers.
64-bit unsigned numbers can be created using the &H, &O or &B prefixes to a number and these numbers can
be stored in an integer variable. You then have a limited range of operations that you can perform on these
numbers. They are << (shift left), >> (shift right), AND (bitwise and), OR (bitwise or), XOR (bitwise
exclusive or), = (equal to) and <> (not equal to). Arithmetic operators such as +, -, etc may be confused by a
64-bit unsigned number and could return nonsense results.
To display 64-bit unsigned numbers you should use the HEX$(), OCT$() or BIN$() functions.
For example, the following 64-bit unsigned operation will return the expected results:
X% = &HFFFF0000FFFF0044
Y% = &H800FFFFFFFFFFFFF
X% = X% AND Y%
PRINT HEX$(X%, 16)
Will display "800F0000FFFF0044

SHIFT OPERATORS
These operate in a special way. << means that the value returned
will be the value of x shifted by y bits to the left while >> means the
same only right shifted. They are integer functions and any bits
shifted off are discarded and any bits introduced are set to zero.

Using voice input on Google for 64bits in decimal is quite amusing. Sometimes I need to word it in a particular way but when I get a speach response

There seems to be a discrepancy between the functioning of Bitbang Bitstream and the manual.In this thread The longest interval I can get is 3mS but the manual says 65.5mS.

Arrrgh, Phil. You made me see my "speach" typo  

I suspect that several time-related issues are not correct, in the documentation. Can't really expect the devs to check everything. I'm working with the H7 and there's a couple of things I'd like to test and I'll post the findings (gotta focus on the main development for now).  

I already found that the max Baud is 3Mb and I suspect that the 300KHz CIN might be just a carry-over from one of the other Mites.

Armmite F407 5.07.02 Beta 3
This Beta implements the new routines for parsing command parameters as used in the Picomite code.(i.e.MATH,LONGSTRING,ADC, commands). This has resulted in the freeing up of significant Flash, allowing some commands previously omitted to save space to be now included.Various errors discovered in beta2 and others discovered as a result of Picomite testing are also corrected.

The manual and binary linked below are on GitHub. These point to the latest versions.
A copy will be place on TBS when any minor errors are identified so there is a permanent copy of beta3 on TBS.
Armmite F4 manual -Latest Manual Currently 5.07.02 Beta 3
ArmmiteF407 binary Latest binary Currently 5.07.02 Beta 3

CAN [OPEN|CLOSE|START|STOP|FILTER|SEND|READ] commands added
FSMC pins now available for MMBasic use if no parallel display configured.
MATH C_ADD etc commands that act on cells added as per picomites.
MATH SHIFT added  as per picomites
MATH WINDOW added as per picomites
MATH WINDOW fixed when input and output matrix are not the same type
MATH SD formula changed to Sample Standard Deviation as per Picomite
MEMORY PACK/UNPACK added.
LINE PLOT command added as per picomites
LINE GRAPH command added as per picomites
LINE command updated getargaddress() function from Picomite with fix for % in LINE
Fix for MATH M_MULT not  giving correct results.
Improved MATH M_MULT as per Pico RC5 (Added but not yet tested)
Improved MATH M_PRINT as per Pico RC5 (Added but not yet tested)
MATH command accepts either C_MUL or C_MULT. (as per Picomite)
Added MM.INFO(NBRPINS)  returns 100
Added MM.INFO(OPTION VCC) returns current value for VCC
Minor update to CommandLine Bufferdetails here

BITBANG becomes DEVICE as per picomite latest release. i.e.
i.e.
DEVICE BITSTREAM
DEVICE LCD
DEVICE HUMID
DEVICE WS2812

DEVICE BITSTREAM error in calculation fixed
see this thread

LIBRARY CHECK becomes LIBRARY RESTORE is more closely match its function

Fix to allow no space after = in DIM i%=12345 as per picomite.
Fix to command READ not finding DATA statement if token 255 is in use.(as per picomites)
Fix for EXECUTE command in beta2 not having a timeout value.
Print datetime$(epoch(now)) no longer gives error.

Extend PEEK range to allow PEEK(VARADDR var) for non array integers and floats.
MEMORY command shows variables again.
MM.INFO(PINNO pin ) now returns correct value.
OPTION ANGLE now defaults to RADIANS after CNTRL C or END command.
COM4 TX and RX were partially reversed, A pullup on RX possibly not released when
COM4 closed . Now resolved.
ADC START now accepts additional parameters as per the Picomites that allow mapping of the the output data to a desired range.
ADC TRIGGER now allows a timeout value to be set. 'timeout' is the number of ADC samples to take before abandoning the wait for the trigger condition. Setting a value equal to the frequency of the sampling would give a timeout of 1 second.
ADC TRIGGER,channel,level[,timeout]
Fix for freeze at command prompt after CNTRL C, ERROR , WATCHDOG if DAC was running.
Fix for incorrect frequency and pulse width generated on SERVO 3 command.
Added ~ option to error() as per picomite and call it from getint() function
to allow correct error message format.

Improved scrolling for Editor and Console for non SSD1963 parallel displays:
 Editor rewrites in lieu of scrolling and
 OPTION LCDPANEL CONSOLE ,,,,,, NOSCROLL added for 16bit parallel non SSD displays
 to improve scrolling when used as a Console.
IPS_4_16 now works as a CONSOLE - was giving out of memory error.
REMOVED - OPTION LCDPANEL CONSOLE support on SPI LCD PANELS

Manual Updates.
See Change Log section in manual.

Holy moly. My understanding is that; if it's under "Choice", it's a good thing.



Edit: It comes up as five quid for me.
