API Changes
Changes in this release
Zephyr now requires Python 3.8 or higher
Changed
spi_cs_control
to remove anonymous struct. This causes possible breakage for static initialization of the struct. UpdatedSPI_CS_CONTROL_PTR_DT
to reflect this change.The
CONFIG_LEGACY_INCLUDE_PATH
option has been disabled by default, all upstream code and modules have been converted to use<zephyr/...>
header paths. The option is still available to facilitate the migration of external applications, but will be removed with the 3.4 release. The scripts/utils/migrate_includes.py script is provided to automate the migration.include/zephyr/zephyr.h no longer defines
__ZEPHYR__
. This definition can be used by third-party code to compile code conditional to Zephyr. The definition is already injected by the Zephyr build system. Therefore, any third-party code integrated using the Zephyr build system will require no changes. External build systems will need to inject the definition by themselves, if they did not already.include/zephyr/zephyr.h has been deprecated in favor of include/zephyr/kernel.h, since it only included that header. No changes are required by applications other than replacing
#include <zephyr/zephyr.h>
with#include <zephyr/kernel.h>
.Bluetooth: Applications where
CONFIG_BT_EATT
is enabled must set thechan_opt
field on the GATT parameter structs. To keep the old behavior useBT_ATT_CHAN_OPT_NONE
.CAN
The Zephyr SocketCAN definitions have been moved from include/zephyr/drivers/can.h to include/zephyr/net/socketcan.h, the SocketCAN
struct can_frame
has been renamed tosocketcan_frame
, and the SocketCANstruct can_filter
has been renamed tosocketcan_filter
. The SocketCAN utility functions are now available in include/zephyr/net/socketcan_utils.h.The CAN controller
struct zcan_frame
has been renamed tocan_frame
, andstruct zcan_filter
has been renamed tocan_filter
.The
can_state
enumerations have been renamed to contain the word STATE in order to make their context more clear:CAN_ERROR_ACTIVE
renamed toCAN_STATE_ERROR_ACTIVE
.CAN_ERROR_WARNING
renamed toCAN_STATE_ERROR_WARNING
.CAN_ERROR_PASSIVE
renamed toCAN_STATE_ERROR_PASSIVE
.CAN_BUS_OFF
renamed toCAN_STATE_BUS_OFF
.
The error code for
can_send()
when the CAN controller is in bus off state has been changed from-ENETDOWN
to-ENETUNREACH
. A return value of-ENETDOWN
now indicates that the CAN controller is inCAN_STATE_STOPPED
.The list of valid return values for the CAN timing calculation functions have been expanded to allow distinguishing between an out of range bitrate/sample point, an unsupported bitrate, and a resulting sample point outside the guard limit.
Memory Management Drivers
Added
sys_mm_drv_update_page_flags()
andsys_mm_drv_update_region_flags()
to update flags associated with memory pages and regions.

Devicetree
Use of the devicetree label property has been deprecated, and the property has been made optional in almost all bindings throughout the tree.
In previous versions of zephyr, label properties like this commonly appeared in devicetree files:
foo { label = "FOO"; /* ... */ };
You could then use something like the following to retrieve a device structure for use in the Device Driver Model:
const struct device *my_dev = device_get_binding("FOO"); if (my_dev == NULL) { /* either device initialization failed, or no such device */ } else { /* device is ready for use */ }
This approach has multiple problems.
First, it incurs a runtime string comparison over all devices in the system to look up each device, which is inefficient since devices are statically allocated and known at build time. Second, missing devices due to misconfigured device drivers could not easily be distinguished from device initialization failures, since both produced
NULL
return values fromdevice_get_binding()
. This led to frequent confusion. Third, the distinction between the label property and devicetree node labels – which are different despite the similar terms – was a frequent source of user confusion, especially since either one can be used to retrieve device structures.Instead of using label properties, you should now generally be using node labels to retrieve devices instead. Node labels look like the
lbl
token in the following devicetree:lbl: foo { /* ... */ };
and you can retrieve the device structure pointer like this:
/* If the next line causes a build error, then there * is no such device. Either fix your devicetree or make sure your * device driver is allocating a device. */ const struct device *my_dev = DEVICE_DT_GET(DT_NODELABEL(lbl)); if (!device_is_ready(my_dev)) { /* device exists, but it failed to initialize */ } else { /* device is ready for use */ }
As shown in the above snippet,
DEVICE_DT_GET
should generally be used instead ofdevice_get_binding()
when getting device structures from devicetree nodes. Note that you can passDEVICE_DT_GET
any devicetree node identifier – you don’t have to useDT_NODELABEL
, though it is usually convenient to do so.Support for devicetree “fixups” was removed. For more details, see commit b2520b09a7
-
All devicetree macros now recursively expand their arguments. This means that in the following example,
INDEX
is always replaced with the number3
for any hypothetical devicetree macroDT_FOO()
:#define INDEX 3 int foo = DT_FOO(..., INDEX)
Previously, devicetree macro arguments were expanded or not on a case-by-case basis. The current behavior ensures you can always rely on macro expansion when using devicetree APIs.
New API macros:
DT_NODE_VENDOR_BY_IDX_OR
DT_NODE_VENDOR_BY_IDX
DT_NODE_VENDOR_HAS_IDX
DT_NODE_VENDOR_OR
Deprecated macros:
DT_LABEL(node_id)
: useDT_PROP(node_id, label)
instead. This is part of the general deprecation of the label property described at the top of this section.DT_INST_LABEL(inst)
: useDT_INST_PROP(inst, label)
instead.DT_BUS_LABEL(node_id)
: useDT_PROP(DT_BUS(node_id), label))
instead.DT_INST_BUS_LABEL(node_id)
: use`DT_PROP(DT_INST_BUS(inst), label)
instead. Similar advice applies for the rest of the following deprecated macros: if you need to access a devicetree node’s label property, do so explicitly using another property access API macro.DT_GPIO_LABEL_BY_IDX()
DT_GPIO_LABEL()
DT_INST_GPIO_LABEL_BY_IDX()
DT_INST_GPIO_LABEL()
DT_SPI_DEV_CS_GPIOS_LABEL()
DT_INST_SPI_DEV_CS_GPIOS_LABEL()
DT_CHOSEN_ZEPHYR_FLASH_CONTROLLER_LABEL
Bindings
The bus key in a bindings file can now be a list of strings as well as a string. This allows a single node to declare that it represents hardware which can communicate over multiple bus protocols. The primary use case is simultaneous support for I3C and I2C buses in the same nodes, with the base bus definition provided in dts/bindings/i3c/i3c-controller.yaml.

Implementation details
The generated devicetree header file placed in the build directory was renamed from
devicetree_unfixed.h
todevicetree_generated.h
.The generated
device_extern.h
has been replaced usingDT_FOREACH_STATUS_OKAY_NODE
. See commit 0224f2c508df154ffc9c1ecffaf0b06608d6b623
Libraries / Subsystems
C Library
Added Picolibc as a Zephyr module. Picolibc module is a footprint-optimized full C standard library implementation that is configurable at the build time.
C library heap initialization call has been moved from the
APPLICATION
phase to thePOST_KERNEL
phase to allow calling the libc dynamic memory management functions (e.g.malloc()
) during the application initialization phase.Added
strerror()
andstrerror_r()
functions to the minimal libc.Removed architecture-specific
off_t
type definition in the minimal libc.off_t
is now defined asintptr_t
regardless of the selected architecture.
C++ Subsystem
Added
std::ptrdiff_t
,std::size_t
,std::max_align_t
andstd::nullptr_t
type definitions to the C++ subsystemcstddef
header.Renamed global constructor list symbols to prevent the native POSIX host runtime from executing the constructors before Zephyr loads.
Cbprintf
Updated cbprintf static packaging to interpret
unsigned char *
as a pointer to a string. See Limitations and recommendations for more details about how to efficienty use strings. Change mainly applies to thelogging
subsystem since it uses this feature.
Emul
Added
EMUL_DT_DEFINE
andEMUL_DT_INST_DEFINE
to mirrorDEVICE_DT_DEFINE
andDEVICE_DT_INST_DEFINE
respectively.Added
EMUL_DT_GET
to mirrorDEVICE_DT_GET
.Removed the need to manually register emulators in their init function (automatically done).
Filesystem
Added cash used to reduce the NVS data lookup time, see
CONFIG_NVS_LOOKUP_CACHE
option.Changing mkfs options to create FAT32 on larger storage when FAT16 fails.
Added
CONFIG_FS_FATFS_MIN_SS
that allows to set minimal expected sector size to be supported.
Management
MCUMGR race condition when using the task status function whereby if a thread state changed it could give a falsely short process list has been fixed.
MCUMGR shell (group 9) CBOR structure has changed, the
rc
response is now only used for mcumgr errors, shell command execution result codes are instead returned in theret
variable instead, see Shell management for updated information. Legacy bahaviour can be restored by enablingCONFIG_MCUMGR_CMD_SHELL_MGMT_LEGACY_RC_RETURN_CODE
.MCUMGR img_mgmt erase command now accepts an optional slot number to select which image will be erased, using the
slot
input (will default to slot 1 if not provided).MCUMGR
CONFIG_OS_MGMT_TASKSTAT_SIGNED_PRIORITY
is now enabled by default, this makes thread priorities in the taskstat command signed, which matches the signed priority of tasks in Zephyr, to revert to previous behaviour of using unsigned values, disable this Kconfig.MCUMGR taskstat runtime field support has been added, if
CONFIG_OS_MGMT_TASKSTAT
is enabled, which will report the number of CPU cycles have been spent executing the thread.MCUMGR transport API drops
zst
parameter, ofzephyr_smp_transport
type, fromzephyr_smp_transport_out_fn()
type callback as it has not been used, and thenb
parameter, ofnet_buf
type, can carry additional transport information when needed.A dummy SMP transport has been added which allows for testing MCUMGR functionality and commands/responses.
An issue with the UART/shell transports whereby large packets would wrongly be split up with multiple start-of-frame headers instead of only one has been fixed.
SMP now runs in its own dedicated work queue which prevents issues running in the system workqueue with some transports, e.g. Bluetooth, which previously caused a deadlock if buffers could not be allocated.
Bluetooth transport will now reduce the size of packets that are sent if they are too large for the remote device instead of failing to send them, if the remote device cannot accept a notification of 20 bytes then the attempt is aborted.
Unaligned memory access problems for CPUs that do not support it in MCUMGR headers has been fixed.
Groups in MCUMGR now use kernel slist entries rather than the custom MCUMGR structs for storage.
Levels of function redirection which were previously used to support multiple OS’s have been reduced to simplify code and reduce output size.
Bluetooth SMP debug output format specifier has been fixed to avoid a build warning on native_posix platforms.
Issue with
img_mgmt_dfu_stopped()
being wrongly called on success has been fixed.Issue with MCUMGR img_mgmt image erase wrongly returning success during an error condition has been fixed.
Unused MCUMGR header files such as mcumgr_util.h have been removed.
Verbose error response reporting has been fixed and is now present when enabled.
Internal SMP functions have been removed from the public smp.h header file and moved to smp_internal.h
Kconfig files have been split up and moved to directories containing the systems they influence.
MCUMGR img_mgmt image upload over-riding/hiding of result codes has been fixed.
Logging
Removed legacy (v1) implementation and removed any references to the logging v2.
Added
LOG_RAW
for logging strings without additional formatting. It is similar toLOG_PRINTK
but do not append<cr>
when new line is found.Improvements in the ADSP backend.
File system backend: Only delete old files if necessary.
IPC
Introduced a ‘zephyr,buffer-size’ DT property to set the sizes for TX and RX buffers per created instance.
Set WQ priority back to
PRIO_PREEMPT
to fix an issue that was starving the scheduler.icmsg_buf
library was renamed tospsc_pbuf
.Added cache handling support to
spsc_pbuf
.Fixed an issue where the TX virtqueue was misaligned by 2 bytes due to the way the virtqueue start address is calculated
Added
ipc_service_deregister_endpoint()
function to deregister endpoints.
LoRaWAN
Added Class-C support.
Upgraded the loramac-node repository to v4.6.0.
Moved the
REQUIRES_FULL_LIBC
library dependency from LoRa to LoRaWAN.Fixed the async reception in SX127x modems.
Modbus
Added user data entry for ADU callback.
Power management
Allow multiple subscribers to latency changes in the policy manager.
Added new API to implement suspend-to-RAM (S2RAM). Select
CONFIG_PM_S2RAM
to enable this feature.Added
pm_device_is_powered()
to query a device power state.
POSIX
Made
tz
non-const ingettimeofday()
for conformance to spec.Fixed pthread descriptor resource leak. Previously only pthreads with state
PTHREAD_TERMINATED
could be reused. However,pthread_join()
sets the state toPTHREAD_EXITED
. Consider both states as candidates inpthread_create()
.Added
perror()
implementation.Used consistent timebase in
sem_timedwait()
.
RTIO
Initial version of an asynchronous task and executor API for I/O similar inspired by Linux’s very successful io_uring.
Provided a simple linear and limited concurrency executor, simple task queuing, and the ability to poll for task completions.
SD Subsystem
SDMMC STM32: Now compatible with STM32L5 series. Added DMA support for DMA-V1 compatible devices.
Added support for handling the
DISK_IOCTL_CTRL_SYNC
ioctl call. this enables the filesystem apifs_sync()
.
Settings
Added API function
settings_storage_get()
which allows to get the storage instance used by the settings backed to store its records.
Shell
Added new API function checking shell readiness:
shell_ready()
.Added option to control formatting of the logging timestamp.
Added missing asserts to the shell api functions.
MQTT backend: bug fix to handle negative return value of the wait function.
A new
backends
command that lists the name and number of active shell backends.Fixed handling mandatory args with optional raw arg.
Storage
flash_area_open()
returns error if area’s flash device is unreachable.flash_area
components were reworked so build-time reference to the flash device is used instead of its name with runtime driver buinding.Added
FIXED_PARTITION_
macros that move flash_map to use DTS node labels.
Testsuite
Added Kconfig support to
unit_testing
platform.Migrated tests to use
CONFIG_ZTEST_NEW_API
.Added ztest options for shuffling tests/suites via:
Added ztest native_posix command line arguments for running specific tests/suites using
--test suite_name:*
or--test suite_name::test_name
command line arguments.
Storage
Flash Map API deprecates usage of
FLASH_AREA_
macros and replaces them withFIXED_PARTITION_
macros. This follows removal oflabel
property from DTS nodes.
