Zephyr 3.3.0

We are pleased to announce the release of Zephyr version 3.3.0.

Major enhancements with this release include:

  • Introduced Fuel Gauge subsystem for battery level monitoring.

  • Introduced USB-C device stack with PD (power delivery) support.

  • Introduced DSP (digital signal processing) subsystem with CMSIS-DSP as the default backend.

  • Added Picolibc support for all architectures when using Zephyr SDK.

The following sections provide detailed lists of changes by component.

API Changes

  • Emulator creation APIs have changed to better match DEVICE_DT_DEFINE. It also includes a new backend API pointer to allow sensors to share common APIs for more generic tests.

Changes in this release

  • Newlib nano variant is no longer selected by default when CONFIG_NEWLIB_LIBC is selected. CONFIG_NEWLIB_LIBC_NANO must now be explicitly selected in order to use the nano variant.

  • Bluetooth: Added extra options to bt_le_per_adv_sync_transfer_subscribe to allow disabling sync reports, and enable sync report filtering. these two options are mutually exclusive.

  • Bluetooth: CONFIG_BT_PER_ADV_SYNC_TRANSFER_RECEIVER and CONFIG_BT_PER_ADV_SYNC_TRANSFER_SENDER have been added to enable the PAST implementation rather than CONFIG_BT_CONN.

  • Flashdisk: CONFIG_DISK_FLASH_VOLUME_NAME, CONFIG_DISK_FLASH_DEV_NAME, CONFIG_DISK_FLASH_START, CONFIG_DISK_FLASH_MAX_RW_SIZE, CONFIG_DISK_ERASE_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_DISK_FLASH_ERASE_ALIGNMENT, CONFIG_DISK_VOLUME_SIZE and CONFIG_DISK_FLASH_SECTOR_SIZE Kconfig options have been removed in favor of new zephyr,flash-disk devicetree binding.

  • Regulator APIs previously located in <zephyr/drivers/regulator/consumer.h> are now part of <zephyr/drivers/regulator.h>.

  • Starting from this release zephyr- prefixed tags won’t be created anymore. The project will continue using v tags, for example v3.3.0.

  • Bluetooth: Deprecated the Bluetooth logging subsystem in favor of the Zephyr standard logging system. To enable debugging for a particular module in the Bluetooth subsystem, enable CONFIG_BT_(module name)_LOG_LEVEL_DBG instead of CONFIG_BT_DEBUG_(module name).

  • MCUmgr img_mgmt now requires that a full sha256 hash to be used when uploading an image to keep track of the progress, where the sha256 hash is of the whole file being uploaded (different to the hash used when getting image states). Use of a truncated hash or non-sha256 hash will still work but will cause issues and failures in client software with future updates to Zephyr/MCUmgr such as image verification.

  • MCUmgr handlers no longer need to be registered by the application code, handlers just need to use a define which will then call the supplied registration function at boot-up. If applications register this then those registrations should be removed to prevent registering the same handler multiple times.

  • MCUmgr Bluetooth and UDP transports no longer need to be registered by the application code, these will now automatically be registered at boot-up (this feature can be disabled for the UDP transport by setting CONFIG_MCUMGR_TRANSPORT_UDP_AUTOMATIC_INIT). If applications register transports then those registrations should be removed to prevent registering the same transport multiple times.

  • MCUmgr transport Kconfigs have changed from select to depends on which means that for applications using the Bluetooth transport, applications will now need to enable the following:

    For CDC or serial transports:

    For shell transport:

    For UDP transport:

  • MCUmgr fs_mgmt hash/checksum function, type and variable names have been changed to be prefixed with fs_mgmt_ to retain alignment with other zephyr and MCUmgr APIs.

  • Python’s argparse argument parser usage in Zephyr scripts has been updated to disable abbreviations, any future python scripts or python code updates must also disable allowing abbreviations by using allow_abbrev=False when setting up ArgumentParser().

    This may cause out-of-tree scripts or commands to fail if they have relied upon their behaviour previously, these will need to be updated in order for building to work. As an example, if a script argument had --reset-type and an out-of-tree script used this by passing --reset then it will need to be updated to use the full argument name, --reset-type.

  • Rewrote the CAN API to utilize flag bitfields instead discrete of struct members for indicating standard/extended CAN ID, Remote Transmission Request (RTR), and added support for filtering of CAN-FD format frames.

  • New Zephyr message bus (Zbus) subsystem added; a message-oriented bus that enables one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many communication between threads.

  • zTest now supports controlling test summary printouts via the CONFIG_ZTEST_SUMMARY. This Kconfig can be set to n for less verbose test output.

  • Emulators now support a backend API pointer which allows a single class of devices to provide similar emulated functionality. This can be used to write a single test for the class of devices and testing various boards using different chips.

Removed APIs in this release

  • Removed CONFIG_COUNTER_RTC_STM32_LSE_DRIVE* This should now be configured using the driving_capability property of LSE clock

  • Removed CONFIG_COUNTER_RTC_STM32_LSE_BYPASS This should now be configured using the new lse_bypass property of LSE clock

  • Removed CONFIG_COUNTER_RTC_STM32_BACKUP_DOMAIN_RESET. Its purpose was to control the reset of the counter value at board reset. It is removed since it has too wide scope (full Backup RAM reset). Replaced by CONFIG_COUNTER_RTC_STM32_SAVE_VALUE_BETWEEN_RESETS which also allows to control the reset of counter value, with an opposite logic.

  • Removed deprecated tinycbor module, code that uses this module should be updated to use zcbor as a replacement.

  • Removed deprecated GPIO flags used for setting debounce, drive strength and voltage level. All drivers now use vendor-specific flags as needed.

  • Removed deprecated UTIL_LISTIFY helper macro.

  • Removed deprecated pwm_pin* family of functions from the PWM API.

  • Removed deprecated nvs_init function from the NVS filesystem API.

  • Removed deprecated DT_CHOSEN_*_LABEL helper macros.

  • Removed deprecated property enable-pin-remap from :dtcompatible: st,stm32-usb:. remap-pa11-pa12 from :dtcompatible: st-stm32-pinctrl: should now be used.

Deprecated in this release

Stable API changes in this release

  • MCUmgr events have been reworked to use a single, unified callback system. This allows better customisation of the callbacks with a lower flash size. Applications using the existing callback system will need to be upgraded to use the new API by following the migration guide

  • net_pkt_get_frag(), net_pkt_get_reserve_tx_data() and net_pkt_get_reserve_rx_data() functions are now requiring to specify the minimum fragment length to allocate, so that they work correctly also in case CONFIG_NET_BUF_VARIABLE_DATA_SIZE is enabled. Applications using this APIs will need to be updated to provide the expected fragment length.

  • Marked the Controller Area Network (CAN) controller driver API as stable.

  • I3C

    • Added a new target device API i3c_target_tx_write() to explicit write to TX FIFO.

    • GETMRL and GETMWL are both optional in i3c_device_basic_info_get() as MRL and MWL are optional according to I3C specification.

  • PCIE

    • Support for accessing I/O BARs, which was previously removed, is back.

    • Added new API pcie_scan() to scan for devices.

      • This iterates through the the buses and devices which are expected to exist. The old method was to try all possible combination of buses and devices to determine if there is a device there. pci_init() and pcie_bdf_lookup() have been updated to use this new API.

      • pcie_scan() also introduces a callback mechanism for when a new device has been discovered.

  • Pin control

    • Common pin control properties are now defined at root level in a single file: dts/bindings/pinctrl/pincfg-node.yaml. Pin control bindings are expected to include it at the level they need. For example, drivers using the grouping representation approach need to include it at grandchild level, while drivers using the node approach need to include it at the child level. This change will only impact out-of-tree pin control drivers, since all in-tree drivers have been updated.

    • Added NXP S32 SIUL2 driver

    • Added Nuvoton NuMicro driver

    • Added Silabs Gecko driver

    • Added support for i.MX93 in the i.MX driver

  • PWM

    • Atmel SAM: Added support to select pin polarity

    • Added driver for NXP PCA9685 LED controller

  • Regulators

    • Completed an API overhaul so that devices like PMICs can be supported. The API now offers a clear and concise API that allows to perform the following operations:

      • Enable/disable regulator output (reference counted)

      • List supported voltages

      • Get/set operating voltage

      • Get/set maximum current

      • Get/set operating mode

      • Obtain errors, e.g. overcurrent.

      The devicetree part maintains compatibility with Linux bindings, for example, the following properties are well supported:

      • regulator-boot-on

      • regulator-always-on

      • regulator-min-microvolt

      • regulator-max-microvolt

      • regulator-min-microamp

      • regulator-max-microamp

      • regulator-allowed-modes

      • regulator-initial-mode

      A common driver class layer takes care of the common functionality so that driver implementations are kept simple. For example, allowed voltage ranges are verified before calling into the driver.

      An experimental parent API to configure DVS (Dynamic Voltage Scaling) has also been introduced.

  • USB

    • STM32F1: Clock bus configuration is not done automatically by driver anymore. It is user’s responsibility to configure the proper bus prescaler using clock_control device tree node to achieve a 48MHz bus clock. Note that, in most cases, core clock is 72MHz and default prescaler configuration is set to achieve 48MHz USB bus clock. Prescaler only needs to be configured manually when core clock is already 48MHz.

When a dedicated HSI 48MHz clock is available on target, is it configured by default as the USB bus clock, but user has the ability to select another 48MHz clock source. When no HSI48 is available, a specific 48MHz bus clock source should be configured by user.

Other

Shields

  • In order to avoid name conflicts with devices that may be defined at board level, it is advised, specifically for shields devicetree descriptions, to provide a device nodelabel in the form <device>_<shield>. In-tree shields have been updated to follow this recommendation.

  • Others

    • STM32F1 SoCs

      • Added new pinctrl definitions for STM32F1xx PWM input. In PWM capture mode STM32F1xx pins have to be configured as input and not as alternate. The new names takes the form tim1_ch1_pwm_in_pa8 for example.

      • Renamed pinctrl definitions for STM32F1xx PWM output to differentiate them from newly created inputs. The new names takes the form tim1_ch1_pwm_out_pa8 instead of tim1_ch1_pwm_pa8.

Libraries / Subsystems

  • C Library

    • Newlib nano variant is no longer selected by default when CONFIG_NEWLIB_LIBC is selected. CONFIG_NEWLIB_LIBC_NANO must now be explicitly selected in order to use the nano variant.

    • Picolibc now supports all architectures supported by Zephyr.

    • Added C11 aligned_alloc support to the minimal libc.

  • C++ Library

    • C++ support in Zephyr is no longer considered a “subsystem” because it mainly consists of the C++ ABI runtime library and the C++ standard library, which are “libraries” that are dissimilar to the existing Zephyr subsystems. C++ support components are now located in lib/cpp as “C++ library.”

    • C++ ABI runtime library components such as global constructor/destructor and initialiser handlers, that were previously located under subsys/cpp, have been moved to lib/cpp/abi in order to provide a clear separation between the C++ ABI runtime library and the C++ standard library.

    • C++ minimal library components have been moved to lib/cpp/minimal.

    • C++ tests have been moved to tests/lib/cpp.

    • C++ samples have been moved to samples/cpp.

    • CONFIG_CPLUSPLUS has been renamed to CONFIG_CPP.

    • CONFIG_EXCEPTIONS has been renamed to CONFIG_CPP_EXCEPTIONS.

    • CONFIG_RTTI has been renamed to CONFIG_CPP_RTTI.

    • CONFIG_LIB_CPLUSPLUS is deprecated. A toolchain-specific C++ standard library Kconfig option from CONFIG_LIBCPP_IMPLEMENTATION should be selected instead.

    • Zephyr subsystems and modules that require the features from the full C++ standard library (e.g. Standard Template Library) can now select CONFIG_REQUIRES_FULL_LIBC, which automatically selects a compatible C++ standard library.

    • Introduced CONFIG_CPP_MAIN to support defining main() function in a C++ source file. Enabling this option makes the Zephyr kernel invoke int main(void), which is required by the ISO C++ standards, as opposed to the Zephyr default void main(void).

    • Added no-throwing implementation of new operator to the C++ minimal library.

    • Added support for new operator with alignment request (C++17) to the C++ minimal library.

    • Added GNU C++ standard library support with Picolibc when using a suitably configured toolchain (e.g. the upcoming Zephyr SDK 0.16.0 release).

  • Cache

  • DSP

    • Introduced DSP (digital signal processing) subsystem with CMSIS-DSP as the default backend.

    • CMSIS-DSP now supports all architectures supported by Zephyr.

  • File systems

    • Added new API call fs_mkfs.

    • Added new sample samples/subsys/fs/format.

    • FAT FS driver has been updated to version 0.15 w/patch1.

    • Added the option to disable CRC checking in Flash Circular Buffer (FCB) by enabling the Kconfig option CONFIG_FCB_ALLOW_FIXED_ENDMARKER and setting the FCB_FLAGS_CRC_DISABLED flag in the fcb struct.

  • IPC

    • Added ipc_rpmsg_deinit(), ipc_service_close_instance() and ipc_static_vrings_deinit() functions

    • Added deregister API support for icmsg backend

    • Added a multi-endpoint feature to icmsg backend

    • Added no-copy features to icmsg backend

  • ISO-TP

    • Rewrote the ISO-TP API to not reuse definitions from the CAN controller API.

  • Logging

    • Added support for logging on multiple domains.

    • CONFIG_LOG_PRINTK is now by default enabled which means that when logging is enabled then printk is by directed to the logging subsystem.

    • Added option to use custom logging header.

  • Management

    • MCUmgr functionality deprecated in 3.1 has been removed: CONFIG_FS_MGMT_UL_CHUNK_SIZE, CONFIG_IMG_MGMT_UL_CHUNK_SIZE, CONFIG_OS_MGMT_ECHO_LENGTH

    • MCUmgr fs_mgmt issue with erasing a file prior to writing the first block of data has been worked around by only truncating/deleting the file data if the file exists. This can help work around an issue whereby logging is enabled and the command is sent on the same UART as the logging system, in which a filesystem error was emitted.

    • A MCUmgr bug when using the smp_svr sample with Bluetooth transport that could have caused a stack overflow has been fixed.

    • A MCUmgr issue with Bluetooth transport that could cause a deadlock of the mcumgr thread if the remote device disconnected before the output message was sent has been fixed.

    • A MCUmgr img_mgmt bug whereby the state of an image upload could persist when it was no longer valid (e.g. after an image erase command) has been fixed.

    • MCUmgr fs_mgmt command has been added that allows querying/listing the supported hash/checksum types.

    • MCUmgr Bluetooth transport will now clear unprocessed commands sent if a remote device disconnects instead of processing them.

    • A new MCUmgr transport function pointer has been added which needs registering in smp_transport_init for removing invalid packets for connection-orientated transports. If this is unimplemented, the function pointer can be set to NULL.

    • MCUmgr command handler definitions have changed, the mgmt_ctxt struct has been replaced with the smp_streamer struct, the zcbor objects need to replace cnbe object access with writer and cnbd object access with reader to successfully build.

    • MCUmgr callback system has been reworked with a unified singular interface which supports status passing to the handler (MCUmgr Callbacks).

    • MCUmgr subsystem directory structure has been flattened and contents of the lib subdirectory has been redistributed into following directories:

      Subdirectory

      MCUmgr area

      mgmt

      MCUmgr management functions, group registration, and so on;

      smp

      Simple Management Protocol processing;

      transport

      Transport support and transport API;

      grp

      Command groups, formerly lib/cmd; each group, which has Zephyr built in support has its own directory here;

      util

      Utilities used by various subareas of MCUmgr.

      Public API interfaces for above areas are now exported through zephyr_interface, and headers for them reside in zephyr/mgmt/mcumgr/<mcumgr_subarea>/. For example to access mgmt API include <zephyr/mgmt/mcumgr/mgmt/mgmt.h>.

      Private headers for above areas can be accessed, when required, using paths: mgmt/mcumgr/mgmt/<mcumgr_subarea>/.

    • MCUmgr os_mgmt info command has been added that allows querying details on the kernel and application, allowing application-level extensibility see OS/Application Info for details.

    • MCUMgr CONFIG_APP_LINK_WITH_MCUMGR has been removed as it has not been doing anything.

    • MCUmgr Kconfig option names have been standardised. Script scripts/utils/migrate_mcumgr_kconfigs.py has been provided to make transition to new Kconfig options easier. Below table provides information on old names and new equivalents:

    • MCUmgr responses where rc (result code) is 0 (no error) will no longer be present in responses and in cases where there is only an rc result, the resultant response will now be an empty CBOR map. The old behaviour can be restored by enabling CONFIG_MCUMGR_SMP_LEGACY_RC_BEHAVIOUR.

    • MCUmgr now has log outputting on most errors from the included fs, img, os, shell, stat and zephyr_basic group commands. The level of logging can be controlled by adjusting: CONFIG_MCUMGR_GRP_FS_LOG_LEVEL, CONFIG_MCUMGR_GRP_IMG_LOG_LEVEL, CONFIG_MCUMGR_GRP_OS_LOG_LEVEL, CONFIG_MCUMGR_GRP_SHELL_LOG_LEVEL, CONFIG_MCUMGR_GRP_STAT_LOG_LEVEL and CONFIG_MCUMGR_GRP_ZBASIC_LOG_LEVEL.

    • MCUmgr img_mgmt has a new field which is sent in the final packet (if CONFIG_IMG_ENABLE_IMAGE_CHECK is enabled) named match which is a boolean and is true if the uploaded data matches the supplied hash, or false otherwise.

    • MCUmgr img_mgmt will now skip receiving data if the provided hash already matches the hash of the data present (if CONFIG_IMG_ENABLE_IMAGE_CHECK is enabled) and finish the upload operation request instantly.

    • MCUmgr img_mgmt structs are now packed, which fixes a fault issue on processors that do not support unaligned memory access.

    • If MCUmgr is used with the shell transport and printk() functionality is used, there can be an issue whereby the printk() calls output during a MCUmgr frame receive, this has been fixed by default in zephyr by routing printk() calls to the logging system, For user applications, CONFIG_LOG_PRINTK should be enabled to include this fix.

    • A bug when MCUmgr shell transport is used (issue was observed over USB CDC but could also occur with UART) whereby the default shell receive ring buffer is insufficient has been fixed by making the default size 256 bytes instead of 64 when the shell MCUmgr transport is selected.

    • UpdateHub:

      • The integrity check was reworked to allow use by other libraries. Since then UpdateHub uses mbedTLS library as default crypto library.

      • Added a new Storage Abstraction to isolate both flash operations and MCUboot internals.

      • The UpdateHub User API was moved as a Zephyr public API and the userspace now is available. This added updatehub_confirm() and updatehub_reboot() functions.

  • LwM2M

    • The lwm2m_senml_cbor_* files have been regenerated using zcbor 0.6.0.

  • POSIX API

    • Harmonized posix type definitions across the minimal libc, newlib and picolibc.

      • Abstract pthread_t, pthread_key_t, pthread_cond_t, pthread_mutex_t, as uint32_t.

      • Defined PTHREAD_KEY_INITIALIZER, PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIZER, PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER to align with POSIX 1003.1.

    • Allowed non-prefixed standard include paths with CONFIG_POSIX_API.

      • I.e. #include <unistd.h> instead of #include <zephyr/posix/unistd.h>.

      • Primarily to ease integration with external libraries.

      • Internal Zephyr code should continue to use prefixed header paths.

    • Enabled eventfd(), getopt() by default with CONFIG_POSIX_API.

    • Moved / renamed header files to align with POSIX specifications.

      • E.g. move fcntl.h, sys/stat.h from the minimal libc into the include/zephyr/posix directory. Rename posix_sched.h to sched.h.

      • Move O_ACCMODE, O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY, O_WRONLY, to fcntl.h.

    • Added CONFIG_TIMER_CREATE_WAIT, CONFIG_MAX_PTHREAD_KEY_COUNT, CONFIG_MAX_PTHREAD_COND_COUNT, CONFIG_MAX_PTHREAD_MUTEX_COUNT.

    • Defined SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.

  • SD Subsystem

    • Added support for eMMC protocol in Zephyr.

      • Speed modes up to HS400 are supported using 1.8v operation.

      • Additional protocol tests have been added to verify eMMC functionality.

      • Disk subsystem tests have been updated to function with eMMC.

    • Card and host combinations that cannot utilize UHS (ultra high speed) mode will now use 4 bit bus width when possible. This will greatly improve performance for these systems.

  • Settings

    • Replaced all k_panic() invocations within settings backend initialization with returning / propagating error codes.

  • Shell

    • New features:

      • SHELL_AUTOSTART configuration option. When SHELL_AUTOSTART is set to n, the shell is not started after boot but can be enabled later from the application code.

      • Added support for setting the help description for each entry in a dictionary.

    • Bugfix:

      • Updated to clear command buffer when leaving bypass mode to prevent undefined behaviour on consecutive shell operations.

      • Set RX size default to 256 if shell MCUmgr is enabled.

      • Fixed log message queue size for all backends.

    • Documentation:

      • Added information explaining commands execution.

  • Utilities

  • Zbus

HALs

  • Atmel

    • sam0: Added support for SAMC20/21.

    • sam4l: Added US_MR_CHRL_{n}_BIT Register Aliases for USART Driver.

  • GigaDevice

    • Added support for gd32l23x.

    • Added support for gd32a50x.

  • Nordic

    • Updated nrfx to version 2.10.0.

  • STM32

    • stm32cube: updated stm32h7 to cube version V1.11.0.

    • stm32cube: updated stm32l5 to cube version V1.5.0.

    • stm32cube: updated stm32wl to cube version V1.3.0.

  • Espressif

    • Added Ethernet driver support

    • Added light-sleep and deep-sleep support over PM interface

    • Added ADC and DAC driver support

    • Added GDMA driver support

Storage

  • Flash Map API drops fa_device_id from flash_area, as it is no longer needed by MCUboot, and has not been populated for a long time now.

Trusted Firmware-M

  • Updated to TF-M 1.7.0 (and MbedTLS 3.2.1).

  • Initial attestation service has been disabled by default due to license issues with the QCBOR dependency. To enable it, set the path for QCBOR via CONFIG_TFM_QCBOR_PATH or set the path to DOWNLOAD.

  • Firmware update sample removed pending update to 1.0 FWU service.

  • psa_crypto sample removed pending resolution of PSA API conflicts w/MbedTLS.

zcbor

Upgraded zcbor to 0.6.0. Among other things, this brings in a few convenient changes for Zephyr:

  • In the zcbor codebase, the ARRAY_SIZE macro has been renamed to ZCBOR_ARRAY_SIZE to not collide with Zephyr’s ARRAY_SIZE macro.

  • The zcbor codebase now better supports being used in C++ code.

The entire release notes can be found at https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zcbor/blob/0.6.0/RELEASE_NOTES.md

Documentation

  • Upgraded to Doxygen 1.9.6.

  • It is now possible to link to Kconfig search results.
