The SPI flash on current Fomu firmware is slow. Circuitpython runs XIP from SPI flash, and so execution time can also be slow. Ordinarily this isn't a problem, however certain operations are time-sensitive. In particular, USB function needs to be handled quickly in order to prevent the host from re-enumerating the device. Place several critical TinyUSB structures into RAM, as well as several hot functions that are frequently called. This reduces execution time at the expense of system memory, and greatly improves system stability. Signed-off-by: Sean Cross <[email protected]>
