suspect-devices/circuitpython/docs/common_hal.md, branch 0.8.3CircuitPython - a Python implementation for teaching coding with microcontrollershttps://git.suspectdevices.com/suspect-devices/circuitpython/atom?h=0.8.32016-11-21T22:11:52+00:00This introduces an alternative hardware API called nativeio structured around different functions that are typically accelerated by native hardware. Its not meant to reflect the structure of the hardware.2016-11-21T22:11:52+00:00Scott Shawcroftscott@chickadee.tech2016-11-03T22:50:59+00:00urn:sha1:ccbb5e84f980e252f7380d96fcc5c417a8a64523

It differs from upstream's machine in the following ways:
* Python API is identical across ports due to code structure. (Lives in shared-bindings)
* Focuses on abstracting common functionality (AnalogIn) and not representing structure (ADC).
* Documentation lives with code making it easy to ensure they match.
* Pin is split into references (board.D13 and microcontroller.pin.PA17) and functionality (DigitalInOut).
* All nativeio classes claim underlying hardware resources when inited on construction, support Context Managers (aka with statements) and have deinit methods which release the claimed hardware.
* All constructors take pin references rather than peripheral ids. Its up to the implementation to find hardware or throw and exception.
