The DNS resolver requires 1/4 sec clock resolution. The retro targets had a 1/2 sec clock resolution (optimized for the 1/2 sec TCP timer) resulting in DNS resolver timeouts being 0. Therefore the retro target clock resolution is now increased to 1/4 sec.
There are scenarios in which it is beneficial to search for an Etherne chip at several i/o locations. To do so the chip initialization is performed at several i/o locations until it succeeds. In order to allow for that operation model the i/o location fixup needs to be repeatable.
Note: This won't work with the RR-Net because the fixup bits overlap with the chip i/o bits.
Several keys can be kept at the same time in the key store, and several
keys can be loaded at once. Give access to these features.
The ccm-test example is also improved to better demonstrate the use of
the key store.

Using the AES interrupt allows the user process not to waste time
polling for the completion of the operation. This time can be used by
the user process to do something else, or to let the system enter PM0.
Since the system is now free to perform various operations during a
crypto operation, a protection of the crypto resource is added, and PM1+
is prohibited in order not to stall crypto operations.

This is safer because the previous code assumed that the start and end
VMAs of .data and .bss were word-aligned, which is not always the case,
so the initialization code could write data outside these sections. The
ROM functions support any address boundary.
This is faster because the ROM functions are ultra optimized, using
realignment and the LDM/STM instructions, which is much better than the
previous simple loops of single word accesses.
This is smaller because the ROM functions don't require to add any code
to the target device other than simple function calls.
This makes the code simpler and more maintainable because standard
functions are not reimplemented and no assembly is used.
Note that this is also faster and smaller than the corresponding
functions from the standard string library.

The initialization code clearing .bss is allowed to use the stack, so
the stack can not be in .bss, or this code will badly fail if it uses
the stack.

In order to be fast, the reset_handler() function uses word accesses to
initialize the .data output section. However, most toolchains do not
automatically force the alignment of an output section LMA to use the
maximum alignment of all its input sections. Because of that, assuming
that .data contains some words, the LMA of the .data output section was
not word-aligned in some cases, resulting in an initialization performed
using slow unaligned word accesses.
This commit forces the alignment of the LMA of the .data output section
with a word boundary in order to always use fast aligned word accesses
to read the .data load area.
Note that this solution is better than using ALIGN_WITH_INPUT, both
because the latter is a new feature incompatible with older toolchains,
and because it could create a big gap between _etext and the LMA of
.data if strongly-aligned data were added to .data, although only a word
alignment is required here.
The same considerations apply to the VMA of .data. However, it is
already automatically word-aligned, both because .data contains words,
and because the end VMA of the previous output section (.socdata) is
word-aligned. Moreover, if the VMA of .data were forcibly word-aligned,
then a filled gap could appear at the beginning of this section if
strongly-aligned data were added to it, thus wasting flash memory.
Consequently, it's better not to change anything for the VMA of .data,
all the more it's very unlikely that it does not contain any word and
that the end VMA of .socdata becomes non-word-aligned, and this would
only result in a slower initialization.

Some toolchains, like Sourcery CodeBench Lite 2013.05-23 arm-none-eabi
(http://sourcery.mentor.com/public/gnu_toolchain/arm-none-eabi/)
automatically force the alignment of an output section LMA to use the
maximum alignment of all its input sections. This toolchain uses GNU
binutils 2.23, and this automatic behavior is the same as the manual
behavior of the ALIGN_WITH_INPUT feature of GNU binutils 2.24+.
This behavior is not an issue per se, but it creates a gap between
_etext and the LMA of the .data output section if _etext does not have
the same alignment, while reset_handler() initialized this section by
copying the data from _etext to its VMA, hence an offset in the
addresses of loaded data, and missing data.
This commit fixes this issue by making reset_handler() directly use the
LMA of the .data section using LOADADDR(.data), rather than assuming
that _etext is this LMA.

* Only enable TX by default.
* Add some magic for RX handling. When an input handler is registered:
* Automatically enable RX-related and interrupts
* Automatically lock the SERIAL PD on under all power modes
* Automatically enable the UART clock under sleep and deep sleep
* Automatically undo all of the above when the input handler becomes NULL
* As a result, modules / examples that need UART RX no longer need to clock the UART and manipulate the SERIAL PD. They simply have to specify an input handler
* Don't automatically power on the UART whenever the CM3 is active
* Before accessing the UART, make sure it is powered and clocked
* Avoid falling edge glitches
* Fix garbage characters / Explicitly wait for UART TX to complete
* Implement new style of PD locks
* Use our own shutdown sequence rather than the one provided by cc26xxware
* Shutdown from within the interrupt that requested it. This allows shutdown to take place even if the code is stuck in a loop somewhere else
* Improve DCDC/GLDO/uLDO switching logic
* Explicitly handle oscillators and retentions
Instead of using a separate data structure to request that a PD remain powered during deep sleep,
we do the same within the main LPM data structure through an additional field.
This allows us to maintain only one linked list of LPM modules and overall improves code clarity
This tutorial was written for the older implementation of CoAP, and
while it may be possible to update it, the directions include URLs and
repos that no longer exist, so it's better to just remove it.
