HAL module request: hal_bouffalolab

[nandojve]

Origin

BouffaloSDK is the IOT and MCU software development kit provided by the Bouffalo Lab Team, supports all the series of Bouffalo chips. Also it is the combination of bl_mcu_sdk and bl_iot_sdk. The original content came from https://github.com/bouffalolab/bouffalo_sdk/tree/release_v1.4.5
and the content to initialize the repo is here https://github.com/nandojve/hal_bouffalolab/tree/sdk-v1.4.5

Purpose

Reuse an existing hardware abstraction layer from BouffaloSDK to enable BL SoCs series in the Bouffalolab family. Zephyr shim drivers for all the usual device driver APIs (UART, I2C, SPI, etc.) will be built on top of headers and bare metal drivers and components provided by the HAL.

Mode of integration

The module should be integrated as an external HAL module. The proposed name is hal_bouffalolab.

The BouffaloSDK contains the necessary software and tools to develop firmware for the Bouffalolab BLxxx series. This includes register files, peripheral drivers, system startup files, documentation, various utilities, IDE support files, and scripts.

The Bouffalolab HAL is a pared-down version of the BouffaloSDK that contains components needed for Zephyr; namely, register files and bare metal peripheral drivers.
