VDDH is typically connected to USB (~5V) or directly to a battery.
Measuring the voltage on VDDH is a way to measure the current battery
voltage, which in turn can be useful to determine how much power is left
in the battery.
I've special cased the nrf52840 in a somewhat unusual way, maybe there
is a better way, feel free to comment!
Ideally we'd use something like
https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/5016 but that's a bit more
involved. As a quick improvement, call gosched() instead.
Example where I use this: a custom WS2812 driver that uses SPI to
transfer the data. It's useful to be able to switch back to the main
goroutine during the transfer to render the next LED update.
Writing the pointer of a buffer to memory-mapped I/O will normally cause
it to escape, which forces the compiler to heap-allocate the buffer. But
we do know how long the value stays alive, so we can tell the compiler
to keep it alive exactly until it is not needed anymore - and tell it to
not treat the pointer-to-uintptr cast as escaping.
These chips have a larger upper limit for the DMA transfer than the
nrf52832. For best performance, we should be splitting the transfer in
as large blocks as possible on the given hardware.
* Initialize the ADC in Configure() (instead of in Get()).
* Do not set all channels to "not connected" - that's already the
reset value.
* Don't disable the ADC after use. It's not necessary to disable
(current consumption appears to remain the same whether enabled or
disabled).
