Alessandro Gatti 965c77ade9 mpy-cross/main: Add support for RV32 Zba opcodes.
This commit adds a new command line switch to inform the RV32 emitter to
use Zba opcodes in its output.

A new implementation-specific option was introduced, called
"-march-flags", that will contain a list of additional
architecture-specific flags to pass to the chosen native emitter
implementation.

At the moment only the RV32 emitter can make use of this command line
facility: if the architecture flags string equals to "zba"
(case-sensitive), then the native emitter will emit Zba opcodes if it
has a chance to do so.

At the moment there is no check on whether additional architecture flags
using to build a MPY file are compatible with the target the output code
is run on, so use this with caution.

MicroPython cross compiler

This directory contains the MicroPython cross compiler, which runs under any Unix-like system and compiles .py scripts into .mpy files.

Build it as usual:

$ make

The compiler is called mpy-cross. Invoke it as:

$ ./mpy-cross foo.py

This will create a file foo.mpy which can then be copied to a place accessible by the target MicroPython runtime (eg onto a pyboard's filesystem), and then imported like any other Python module using import foo.

Different target runtimes may require a different format of the compiled bytecode, and such options can be passed to the cross compiler.

If the Python code contains @native or @viper annotations, then you must specify -march to match the target architecture.

Run ./mpy-cross -h to get a full list of options.

The optimisation level is 0 by default. Optimisation levels are detailed in https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/library/micropython.html#micropython.opt_level
