The uint32 is given as a bigendian stream, in the tests, however,
the char buffer that collected the stream read it as is,
without converting it. Add a temporary buffer, to call `greentea_getc()`
8 times, and then put it in the correct endianity for input to `unhexify()`.
* origin/pr/2660:
Fix parsing issue when int parameter is in base 16
Refactor receive_uint32()
Refactor get_byte function
Make the script portable to both pythons
Update the test encoding to support python3
update the test script
Call `greentea_getc()` 8 times, and then `unhexify` once, instead of
calling `receive_byte()`, which inside calls `greentea_getc()` twice,
for every hex digit.
Since Python3 handles encoding differently than Python2,
a change in the way the data is encoded and sent to the target is needed.
1. Change the test data to be sent as hex string
2. Convert the characters to binary bytes.
This is done because the mbed tools translate the encoding differently
(mbed-greentea, and mbed-htrunner)
Don't use the macro name assert. It's technically permitted as long as
<assert.h> is not included, but it's fragile, because it means the
code and any header that it includes must not include <assert.h>.
