:orphan: .. _migration_3.7: Migration guide to Zephyr v3.7.0 (Working Draft) ################################################ This document describes the changes required when migrating your application from Zephyr v3.6.0 to Zephyr v3.7.0. Any other changes (not directly related to migrating applications) can be found in the :ref:`release notes`. .. contents:: :local: :depth: 2 Build System ************ * Completely overhauled the way SoCs and boards are defined. This requires all out-of-tree SoCs and boards to be ported to the new model. See the :ref:`hw_model_v2` for more detailed information. Kernel ****** Boards ****** * Reordered D1 and D0 in the `pro_micro` connector gpio-map for SparkFun Pro Micro RP2040 to match original Pro Micro definition. Out-of-tree shields must be updated to reflect this change. Modules ******* MCUboot ======= zcbor ===== Device Drivers and Devicetree ***************************** * The :dtcompatible:`nxp,kinetis-pit` pit driver has changed it's compatible to :dtcompatible:`nxp,pit` and has been updated to support multiple channels. To configure the individual channels, you must add a child node with the compatible :dtcompatible:`nxp,pit-channel` and configure as below. The :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_COUNTER_MCUX_PIT` has also been renamed to :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_COUNTER_NXP_PIT` with regards to the renaming of the binding for the pit. example: .. code-block:: devicetree / { pit0: pit@40037000 { /* Other Pit DT Attributes */ compatible = "nxp,pit"; status = "disabled"; num-channels = <1>; #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; pit0_channel0: pit0_channel@0 { compatible = "nxp,pit-channel"; reg = <0>; status = "disabled"; }; }; * The :dtcompatible:`nxp,kinetis-ethernet` has been deprecated in favor of :dtcompatible:`nxp,enet`. All in tree SOCs were converted to use this new schema. Thus, all boards using NXP's ENET peripheral will need to align to this binding in DT, which also comes with a different version driver. Alternatively, the Ethernet node can be deleted and redefined as the old binding to use the deprecated legacy driver. The primary advantage of the new binding is to be able to abstract an arbitrary phy through the mdio API. Example of a basic board level ENET DT definition: .. code-block:: devicetree &enet_mac { status = "okay"; pinctrl-0 = <&pinmux_enet>; pinctrl-names = "default"; phy-handle = <&phy>; zephyr,random-mac-address; phy-connection-type = "rmii"; }; &enet_mdio { status = "okay"; pinctrl-0 = <&pinmux_enet_mdio>; pinctrl-names = "default"; phy: phy@3 { compatible = "ethernet-phy"; reg = <3>; status = "okay"; }; }; Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) ================================= Bluetooth HCI ============= Charger ======= * Dropped ``constant-charge-current-max-microamp`` property in ``charger_max20335`` driver because it did not reflect real chip functionality. * Added enum key to ``constant-charge-voltage-max-microvolt`` property in ``maxim,max20335-charger`` binding to indicate invalid devicetree values at build time. Controller Area Network (CAN) ============================= * Removed the following deprecated CAN controller devicetree properties. Out-of-tree boards using these properties need to switch to using the ``bus-speed``, ``sample-point``, ``bus-speed-data``, and ``sample-point-data`` devicetree properties for specifying the initial CAN bitrate: * ``sjw`` * ``prop-seg`` * ``phase-seg1`` * ``phase-seg1`` * ``sjw-data`` * ``prop-seg-data`` * ``phase-seg1-data`` * ``phase-seg1-data`` * Support for manual bus-off recovery was reworked: * Automatic bus recovery will always be enabled upon driver initialization regardless of Kconfig options. Since CAN controllers are initialized in "stopped" state, no unwanted bus-off recovery will be started at this point. * The Kconfig ``CONFIG_CAN_AUTO_BUS_OFF_RECOVERY`` was renamed (and inverted) to :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_CAN_MANUAL_RECOVERY_MODE`, which is disabled by default. This Kconfig option enables support for the :c:func:`can_recover()` API function and a new manual recovery mode (see the next bullet). * A new CAN controller operational mode :c:macro:`CAN_MODE_MANUAL_RECOVERY` was added. Support for this is only enabled if :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_CAN_MANUAL_RECOVERY_MODE` is enabled. Having this as a mode allows applications to inquire whether the CAN controller supports manual recovery mode via the :c:func:`can_get_capabilities` API function. The application can then either fail initialization or rely on automatic bus-off recovery. Having this as a mode furthermore allows CAN controller drivers not supporting manual recovery mode to fail early in :c:func:`can_set_mode` during application startup instead of failing when :c:func:`can_recover` is called at a later point in time. Display ======= Flash ===== General Purpose I/O (GPIO) ========================== Input ===== * The ``analog-axis`` deadzone calibration value has been changed to be relative to the raw ADC values, similarly to min and max. The data structures and properties have been renamed to reflect that (from ``out-deadzone`` to ``in-deadzone``) and when migrating to the new definition the value should be scaled accordingly. Interrupt Controller ==================== LED Strip ========= * The property ``in-gpios`` defined in :dtcompatible:`worldsemi,ws2812-gpio` has been renamed to ``gpios``. Sensors ======= Serial ====== Timer ===== Bluetooth ********* Bluetooth Mesh ============== * The model metadata pointer declaration of :c:struct:`bt_mesh_model` has been changed to add ``const`` qualifiers. The data pointer of :c:struct:`bt_mesh_models_metadata_entry` got ``const`` qualifier too. The model's metadata structure and metadata raw value can be declared as permanent constants in the non-volatile memory. (:github:`69679`) Bluetooth Audio =============== Bluetooth Classic ================= * The source files of Host BR/EDR have been moved to ``subsys/bluetooth/host/classic``. The Header files of Host BR/EDR have been moved to ``include/zephyr/bluetooth/classic``. Removed the :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_BT_BREDR`. It is replaced by new option :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_BT_CLASSIC`. (:github:`69651`) Bluetooth Host ============== * The advertiser options :code:`BT_LE_ADV_OPT_USE_NAME` and :code:`BT_LE_ADV_OPT_FORCE_NAME_IN_AD` are deprecated in this release. The application need to include the device name explicitly. One way to do it is by adding the following to the advertising data or scan response data passed to the host: .. code-block:: c BT_DATA(BT_DATA_NAME_COMPLETE, CONFIG_BT_DEVICE_NAME, sizeof(CONFIG_BT_DEVICE_NAME) - 1) (:github:`71686`) Networking ********** * Deprecate the :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_NET_SOCKETS_POSIX_NAMES` option. It is a legacy option and was used to allow user to call BSD socket API while not enabling POSIX API. This could cause complications when building applications that wanted to enable the :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_POSIX_API` option. This means that if the application wants to use normal BSD socket interface, then it needs to enable :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_POSIX_API`. If the application does not want or is not able to enable that option, then the socket API calls need to be prefixed by a ``zsock_`` string. All the sample applications that use BSD socket interface are changed to enable :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_POSIX_API`. Internally the network stack will not enable POSIX API option which means that various network libraries that use sockets, are converted to use the ``zsock_*`` API calls. (:github:`69950`) * The zperf zperf_results struct is changed to support 64 bits transferred bytes (total_len) and test duration (time_in_us and client_time_in_us), instead of 32 bits. This will make the long-duration zperf test show with correct throughput result. (:github:`69500`) * Each IPv4 address assigned to a network interface has an IPv4 netmask tied to it instead of being set for the whole interface. If there is only one IPv4 address specified for a network interface, nothing changes from the user point of view. But, if there is more than one IPv4 address / network interface, the netmask must be specified for each IPv4 address separately. (:github:`68419`) * Virtual network interface API no longer has the `input` callback. The input callback was used to read the inner IPv4/IPv6 packets in an IP tunnel. This incoming tunnel read is now implemented in `recv` callback. (:github:`70549`) * Virtual LAN (VLAN) implementation is changed to use the Virtual network interfaces. There are no API changes, but the type of a VLAN network interface is changed from `ETHERNET` to `VIRTUAL`. This could require changes to the code that sets the VLAN tags to a network interface. For example in the `net_eth_is_vlan_enabled()` API, the 2nd interface parameter must point to the main Ethernet interface, and not to the VLAN interface. (:github:`70345`) * Modified the ``wifi connect`` command to use key-value format for the arguments. In the previous implementation, we were identifying an option using its position in the argument string. This made it difficult to deal with optional arguments or extending the support for other options. Having this key-value format makes it easier to extend the options that can be passed to the connect command. ``wifi -h`` will give more information about the usage of connect command. (:github:`70024`) * The Kconfig ``CONFIG_NET_TCP_ACK_TIMEOUT`` has been deprecated. Its usage was limited to TCP handshake only, and in such case the total timeout should depend on the total retransmission timeout (as in other cases) making the config redundant and confusing. Use ``CONFIG_NET_TCP_INIT_RETRANSMISSION_TIMEOUT`` and ``CONFIG_NET_TCP_RETRY_COUNT`` instead to control the total timeout at the TCP level. (:github:`70731`) Other Subsystems **************** hawkBit ======= * :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_HAWKBIT_PORT` is now an int instead of a string. * :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_SETTINGS` needs to be enabled to use hawkBit, as it now uses the settings subsystem to store the hawkBit configuration. LoRaWAN ======= MCUmgr ====== Modem ===== * The ``CONFIG_MODEM_CHAT_LOG_BUFFER`` Kconfig option was renamed to :kconfig:option:`MODEM_CHAT_LOG_BUFFER_SIZE`. Shell ===== ZBus ==== Userspace ********* Architectures ************* * Function :c:func:`arch_start_cpu` has been renamed to :c:func:`arch_cpu_start`. * x86 * Kconfigs ``CONFIG_DISABLE_SSBD`` and ``CONFIG_ENABLE_EXTENDED_IBRS`` are deprecated. Use :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_X86_DISABLE_SSBD` and :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_X86_ENABLE_EXTENDED_IBRS` instead. Xtensa ======
