| |
| * CVE-2023-1901: Under embargo until 2023-07-04 |

| |
| Changes in this release |
| ======================= |
| |
| * Any applications using the mcuboot image manager |
| (:kconfig:option:`CONFIG_MCUBOOT_IMG_MANAGER`) will now need to also select |
| :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_FLASH_MAP` and :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_STREAM_FLASH`, |
| this prevents a cmake dependency loop if the image manager Kconfig is enabled |
| manually without also manually enabling the other options. |
| |
| * Including hawkbit in an application now requires additional Kconfig options |
| to be selected, previously these options would have been selected |
| automatically but have changed from ``select`` options in Kconfig files to |
| ``depends on``: |

| +--------------------------------------------------+ |
| |
| * The sensor driver API clarified :c:func:`sensor_trigger_set` to state that |
| the user-allocated sensor trigger will be stored by the driver as a pointer, |
| rather than a copy, and passed back to the handler. This enables the handler |
| to use :c:macro:`CONTAINER_OF` to retrieve a context pointer when the trigger |
| is embedded in a larger struct and requires that the trigger is not allocated |
| on the stack. Applications that allocate a sensor trigger on the stack need |
| to be updated. |
| |
| * Converted few drivers to the :ref:`input` subsystem. |
| |
| * ``gpio_keys``: moved out of ``gpio``, replaced the custom API to use input |
| events instead, the :dtcompatible:`zephyr,gpio-keys` binding is unchanged |
| but now requires ``zephyr,code`` to be set. |
| * ``ft5336``: moved from :ref:`kscan_api` to :ref:`input`, renamed the Kconfig |
| options from ``CONFIG_KSCAN_FT5336``, ``CONFIG_KSCAN_FT5336_PERIOD`` and |
| ``KSCAN_FT5336_INTERRUPT`` to :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_INPUT_FT5336`, |
| :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_INPUT_FT5336_PERIOD` and |
| :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_INPUT_FT5336_INTERRUPT`. |
| * ``kscan_sdl``: moved from :ref:`kscan_api` to :ref:`input`, renamed the Kconfig |
| option from ``KSCAN_SDL`` to :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_INPUT_SDL_TOUCH` and the |
| compatible from ``zephyr,sdl-kscan`` to |
| :dtcompatible:`zephyr,input-sdl-touch`. |
| * ``nuvoton,npcx-kscan`` moved to :ref:`input`, renamed the Kconfig option |
| names from ``KSCAN_NPCX_...`` to ``INPUT_NPCX_KBD...`` and the compatible |
| from ``nuvoton,npcx-kscan`` to :dtcompatible:`nuvoton,npcx-kbd`. |
| * Touchscreen drivers converted to use the input APIs can use the |
| :dtcompatible:`zephyr,kscan-input` driver to maintain Kscan compatibility. |
| |
| * The declaration of :c:func:`main` has been changed from ``void |
| main(void)`` to ``int main(void)``. The main function is required to |
| return the value zero. All other return values are reserved. This aligns |
| Zephyr with the C and C++ language specification requirements for |
| "hosted" environments, avoiding compiler warnings and errors. These |
| compiler messages are generated when applications are built in "hosted" |
| mode (which means without the ``-ffreestanding`` compiler flag). As the |
| ``-ffreestanding`` flag is currently enabled unless the application is |
| using picolibc, only applications using picolibc will be affected by this |
| change at this time. |
| |
| * The following network interface APIs now take additional, |
| ``struct net_if * iface`` parameter: |
| |
| * :c:func:`net_if_ipv4_maddr_join` |
| * :c:func:`net_if_ipv4_maddr_leave` |
| * :c:func:`net_if_ipv6_maddr_join` |
| * :c:func:`net_if_ipv6_maddr_leave` |
| |
| * MCUmgr transports now need to set up the struct before registering it by |
| setting the function pointers to the function handlers, these have been |
| moved to a ``functions`` struct object of type |
| :c:struct:`smp_transport_api_t`. Because of these changes, the legacy |
| transport registration function and object are no longer available. The |
| registration function now returns a value which is 0 for success or a |
| negative error code if an error occurred. |
| |
| * Added a new flag :c:struct:`dac_channel_cfg` ``buffered`` for DAC channels in |
| :c:struct:`dac_channel_cfg` to allow the configuration of the output buffer. |
| The actual interpretation of this depends on the hardware and is so far only |
| implemented for the STM32 DAC driver. Implicitly for this driver this changes |
| the default from being buffered to unbuffered. |
| |
| * MCUmgr fs_mgmt group's file access hook is now called for all fs_mgmt group |
| functions (adding support for file status and file hash/checksum). In |
| addition, if the file access state is not lost, it will now only be called |
| once for the file access instead of each time a command is received. |
| Note that the structure for the notification has changed, the ``upload`` bool |
| has been replaced with an enum to indicate what function is used, see |
| :c:struct:`fs_mgmt_file_access` for the new structure definition. |
| |
| * Iterable sections API is now available at |
| :zephyr_file:`include/zephyr/sys/iterable_sections.h`. LD linker snippets are |
| available at :zephyr_file:`include/zephyr/linker/iterable_sections.h`. |
| |
| * Cache API functions are now fully inlined by compilers. |
| |
| * The Bluetooth HCI headers have been reworked, with ``hci.h`` now containing |
| only the function prototypes and the new ``hci_types.h`` defining all |
| HCI-related macros and structs. The previous ``hci_err.h`` has been merged |
| into ``hci_types.h``. |
| |
| Removed APIs in this release |
| ============================ |
| |
| * Pinmux API has been removed. Pin control needs to be used as its replacement, |
| refer to :ref:`pinctrl-guide` for more details. |
| |
| Deprecated in this release |
| ========================== |
| |
| * Configuring applications with ``prj_<board>.conf`` files has been deprecated, |
| this should be replaced by using a prj.conf with the common configuration and |
| board-specific configuration in board Kconfig fragments in the ``boards`` |
| folder of the application. |
| |
| * On nRF51 and nRF52-based boards, the behavior of the reset reason being |
| provided to :c:func:`sys_reboot` and being set in the GPREGRET register has |
| been dropped. This function will now just reboot the device without changing |
| the register contents. The new method for setting this register uses the boot |
| mode feature of the retention subsystem, see the |
| :ref:`boot mode API <boot_mode_api>` for details. To restore the deprecated |
| functionality, enable |
| :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_NRF_STORE_REBOOT_TYPE_GPREGRET`. |
| |
| * Deprecated :c:macro:`PTHREAD_BARRIER_DEFINE` in favor of the standardized |
| :c:func:`pthread_barrier_init` |
| |
| * On all STM32 targets except STM32F2 series, Ethernet drivers implementation |
| based on STM32Cube Ethernet API V1 (:kconfig:option:`CONFIG_ETH_STM32_HAL_API_V1`) |
| is now deprecated in favor of implementation based on more reliable and performant |
| STM32Cube Ethernet API V2. |
| |
| * Legacy Ztest API was deprecated. All new tests shall use the new Ztest API. |
| |
| Stable API changes in this release |
| ================================== |
| |
| * Removed ``bt_set_oob_data_flag`` and replaced it with two new API calls: |
| * :c:func:`bt_le_oob_set_sc_flag` for setting/clearing OOB flag in SC pairing |
| * :c:func:`bt_le_oob_set_legacy_flag` for setting/clearing OOB flag in legacy paring |
| |
| * :c:macro:`SYS_INIT` callback no longer requires a :c:struct:`device` argument. |
| The new callback signature is ``int f(void)``. A utility script to |
| automatically migrate existing projects can be found in |
| :zephyr_file:`scripts/utils/migrate_sys_init.py`. |
| |
| * Changed :c:struct:`spi_config` ``cs`` (:c:struct:`spi_cs_control`) from |
| pointer to struct member. This allows using the existing SPI dt-spec macros in |
| C++. SPI controller drivers doing ``NULL`` checks on the ``cs`` field to check |
| if CS is GPIO-based or not, must now use :c:func:`spi_cs_is_gpio` or |
| :c:func:`spi_cs_is_gpio_dt` calls. |
| |
| New APIs in this release |
| ======================== |
| |
| * Introduced :c:func:`flash_ex_op` function. This allows to perform extra |
| operations on flash devices, defined by Zephyr Flash API or by vendor specific |
| header files. Support for extra operations is enabled by |
| :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_FLASH_EX_OP_ENABLED` which depends on |
| :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_FLASH_HAS_EX_OP` selected by driver. |
| |
| * Introduced :ref:`rtc_api` API which adds experimental support for real-time clock |
| devices. These devices previously used the :ref:`counter_api` API combined with |
| conversion between unix-time and broken-down time. The new API adds the mandatory |
| functions :c:func:`rtc_set_time` and :c:func:`rtc_get_time`, the optional functions |
| :c:func:`rtc_alarm_get_supported_fields`, :c:func:`rtc_alarm_set_time`, |
| :c:func:`rtc_alarm_get_time`, :c:func:`rtc_alarm_is_pending` and |
| :c:func:`rtc_alarm_set_callback` are enabled with |
| :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_RTC_ALARM`, the optional function |
| :c:func:`rtc_update_set_callback` is enabled with |
| :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_RTC_UPDATE`, and lastly, the optional functions |
| :c:func:`rtc_set_calibration` and :c:func:`rtc_get_calibration` are enabled with |
| :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_RTC_CALIBRATION`. |
| |
| * Introduced :ref:`auxdisplay_api` for auxiliary (alphanumeric-based) displays. |
| |
| * Introduced :ref:`barriers_api` for barrier operations. |
| |
| * Added :c:macro:`CAN_FRAME_ESI` CAN-FD Error State Indicator flag. |

| |
| Build system and infrastructure |
| ******************************* |
| |
| * Fixed an issue whereby older versions of the Zephyr SDK toolchain were used |
| instead of the latest compatible version. |
| |
| * Fixed an issue whereby building an application with sysbuild and specifying |
| mcuboot's verification to be checksum only did not build a bootable image. |
| |
| * Fixed an issue whereby if no prj.conf file was present then board |
| configuration files would not be included by emitting a fatal error. As a |
| result, prj.conf files are now mandatory in projects. |
| |
| * Introduced support for extending/replacing the signing mechanism in zephyr, |
| see :ref:`West extending signing <west-extending-signing>` for further |
| details. |
| |
| * Fixed an issue whereby when using ``*_ROOT`` variables with Sysbuild, these |
| were lost for images. |
| |
| * Enhanced ``zephyr_get`` CMake helper function to optionally support merging |
| of scoped variables into a list. |
| |
| * Added a new CMake helper function for setting/updating sysbuild CMake cache |
| variables: ``sysbuild_cache_set``. |
| |
| * Enhanced ``zephyr_get`` CMake helper function to lookup multiple variables |
| and return the result in a variable of different name. |
| |
| * Introduced ``EXTRA_CONF_FILE``, ``EXTRA_DTC_OVERLAY_FILE``, and |
| ``EXTRA_ZEPHYR_MODULES`` for better naming consistency and uniform behavior |
| for applying extra build settings in addition to Zephyr automatic build |
| setting lookup. |
| ``EXTRA_CONF_FILE`` replaces ``OVERLAY_CONFIG``. |
| ``EXTRA_ZEPHYR_MODULES`` replaces ``ZEPHYR_EXTRA_MODULES``. |
| ``EXTRA_DTC_OVERLAY_FILE`` is new, see |
| :ref:`Set devicetree overlays <set-devicetree-overlays>` for further details. |
| |
| * Twister now supports ``gtest`` harness for running tests written in gTest. |
| |
| * Added an option to validate device initialization priorities at build time. |
| To use it, enable :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_CHECK_INIT_PRIORITIES`, see |
| :ref:`check_init_priorities.py` for more details. |
| |
| * Added a new option to disable tracking of macro expansion when compiling, |
| :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_COMPILER_TRACK_MACRO_EXPANSION`. This option may be |
| disabled to reduce compiler verbosity when errors occur during macro |
| expansions, e.g. in device definition macros. |
| |
| * Twister now supports loading test configurations from alternative root |
| folder/s by using ``--alt-config-root``. When a test is found, Twister will |
| check if a test configuration file exist in any of the alternative test |
| configuration root folders. For example, given |
| ``$test_root/tests/foo/testcase.yaml``, Twister will use |
| ``$alt_config_root/tests/foo/testcase.yaml`` if it exists. |
| |
| * Twister now uses native YAML lists for fields that were previously defined |
| using space-separated strings. For example: |
| |
| .. code-block:: yaml |
| |
| platform_allow: foo bar |
| |
| can now be written as: |
| |
| .. code-block:: yaml |
| |
| platform_allow: |
| - foo |
| - bar |
| |
| This applies to the following properties: |
| |
| - ``arch_exclude`` |
| - ``arch_allow`` |
| - ``depends_on`` |
| - ``extra_args`` |
| - ``extra_sections`` |
| - ``platform_exclude`` |
| - ``platform_allow`` |
| - ``tags`` |
| - ``toolchain_exclude`` |
| - ``toolchain_allow`` |
| |
| Note that the old behavior is kept as deprecated. The |
| :zephyr_file:`scripts/utils/twister_to_list.py` script can be used to |
| automatically migrate Twister configuration files. |
| |
| * When MCUboot image signing is enabled, a warning will now be emitted by cmake |
| if no signing key is set in the project, this warning can be safely ignored |
| if signing is performed manually or outside of zephyr. This warning informs |
| the user that the generated image will not be bootable by MCUboot as-is. |
| |
| * Babblesim is now included in the west manifest. Users can fetch it by enabling |
| the ``babblesim`` group with west config. |
| |
| * ``west sign`` now uses DT labels, of "fixed-partition" compatible nodes, to identify |
| application image slots, instead of previously used DT node label properties. |
| If you have been using custom partition layout for MCUboot, you will have to label |
| your MCUboot slot partitions with proper DT node labels; for example partition |
| with "image-0" label property will have to be given slot0_partition DT node label. |
| Label property does not have to be removed from partition node, but will not be used. |
| |
| DT node labels used are listed below |
| |
| .. table:: |
| :align: center |
| |
| +---------------------------------+---------------------------+ |
| | Partition with label property | Required DT node label | |
| +=================================+===========================+ |
| | "image-0" | slot0_partition | |
| +---------------------------------+---------------------------+ |
| | "image-1" | slot1_partition | |
| +---------------------------------+---------------------------+ |
| |
| * Fixed an issue whereby relative paths supplied for the ``BOARD_ROOT`` value |
| might wrongly emit a warning about a ``boards`` directory not being found. |
| |
| * Fixed an issue whereby relative paths did not work for sysbuild images. |
| |

| :c:func:`ec_op` callback provided by a flash driver. This allows to perform |
| extra operations on flash devices, defined by Zephyr Flash API or by vendor |
| specific header files. :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_FLASH_HAS_EX_OP` should be |
| selected by the driver to indicate that extra operations are supported. |
| To enable extra operations user should select |
| :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_FLASH_EX_OP_ENABLED`. |
| * STM32F4: Now supports write protection and readout protection through |
| new flash API call :c:func:`flash_ex_op`. |
| * nrf_qspi_nor: Replaced custom API function ``nrf_qspi_nor_base_clock_div_force`` |
| with ``nrf_qspi_nor_xip_enable`` which apart from forcing the clock divider |
| prevents the driver from deactivating the QSPI peripheral so that the XIP |
| operation is actually possible. |
| * flash_simulator: |
| |
| * A memory region can now be used as the storage area for the |
| flash simulator. Using the memory region allows the flash simulator to keep |
| its contents over a device reboot. |
| * When building in native_posix, command line options have been added to select |
| if the flash should be cleared at boot, the flash content kept in RAM, |
| or the flash content file be deleted on exit. |
| |
| * spi_flash_at45: Fixed erase procedure to properly handle chips that have |
| their initial sector split into two parts (usually marked as 0a and 0b). |

| * Added PWM driver for Microchip XEC BBLED. |
| |
| * Power domain |
| |
| * Regulators |
| |
| * The regulator API can now be built without thread-safe reference counting |
| by using :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_REGULATOR_THREAD_SAFE_REFCNT`. This |
| feature can be useful in applications that do not enable |
| :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_MULTITHREADING`. |
| * Added support for ADP5360 PMIC |
| * Added support for nPM1300 PMIC |
| * Added support for Raspberry Pi Pico core supply regulator |
| |

| |
| * Timer |
| |
| * Support added for stopping Nordic nRF RTC system timer, which fixes an |
| issue when booting applications built in prior version of Zephyr. |
| |
| * STM32: Now supports a prescaler at the input of clock (default not divided). |
| Prescaler allows to achieve higher LPTIM timeout (up to 256s when lptim clocked by LSE) |

| |
| * DHCPv4: |
| |

| * Fixed local address setting for incoming connections. |
| * Fixed double TCP context dereferencing in certain corner cases. |
| |
| * TFTP: |
| |
| * Added ``tftp_put()`` API to support TFTP write request. |
| * Introduced ``tftp_callback_t`` callback to allow to read large files. |
| * Reworked ``struct tftpc`` client context structure, to allow for parallel |
| communication from several contexts. |
| |
| * UDP: |

| * :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_NET_UDP_MISSING_CHECKSUM` is now enabled by default. |
| |
| * Websockets: |
| |
| * Implemented proper timeout handling in :c:func:`websocket_recv_msg`. |
| * Fixed implicit type conversion when parsing length field, which could lead |
| to data loss. |
| |
| * Wi-Fi: |
| |
| * Display TWT (Target Wake Time) configuration response status in Wi-Fi shell. |

| * Added connection status and AP capabilities verification before initiating |
| TWT operation. |
| * TWT intervals are changed from milliseconds to microseconds, interval |
| variables are also renamed. |
| * Extended Power Saving configuration parameters with listening interval and |
| wake up mode. |
| * Added :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_WIFI_MGMT_RAW_SCAN_RESULTS` option, which |
| enables providing of RAW (unprocessed) scan results to the application with |
| ``NET_EVENT_WIFI_CMD_RAW_SCAN_RESULT`` event. |
| * Several other minor fixes/cleanups in the Wi-Fi management/shell modules. |
| |
| * zperf |
| |
| * Added an extra parameter to disable Nagle's algorithm with TCP benchmarks. |

| |
| Libraries / Subsystems |
| ********************** |
| |
| * File systems |
| |
| * Added :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_FS_FATFS_REENTRANT` to enable the FAT FS reentrant option. |
| * With LittleFS as backend, :c:func:`fs_mount` return code was corrected to ``EFAULT`` when |
| called with ``FS_MOUNT_FLAG_NO_FORMAT`` and the designated LittleFS area could not be |
| mounted because it has not yet been mounted or it required reformatting. |
| * The FAT FS initialization order has been updated to match LittleFS, fixing an issue where |
| attempting to mount the disk in a global function caused FAT FS to fail due to not being registered beforehand. |
| FAT FS is now initialized in POST_KERNEL. |
| * Added :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_FS_LITTLEFS_FMP_DEV` to enable possibility of using LittleFS |
| for block devices only, e.g. without Flash support. The option is set to 'y' by default in |
| order to keep previous behaviour. |
| |
| * IPC |
| |
| * :c:func:`ipc_service_close_instance` now only acts on bounded endpoints. |
| * ICMSG: removed race condition during bonding. |
| * ICMSG: removed internal API for clearing shared memory. |
| * ICMSG: added mutual exclusion access to SHMEM. |
| * Fixed CONFIG_OPENAMP_WITH_DCACHE. |
| |
| * Management |
| |
| * Added optional input expiration to shell MCUmgr transport, this allows |
| returning the shell to normal operation if a complete MCUmgr packet is not |
| received in a specific duration. Can be enabled with |
| :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_MCUMGR_TRANSPORT_SHELL_INPUT_TIMEOUT` and timeout |
| set with |
| :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_MCUMGR_TRANSPORT_SHELL_INPUT_TIMEOUT_TIME`. |
| |
| * MCUmgr fs_mgmt upload and download now caches the file handle to improve |
| throughput when transferring data, the file is no longer opened and closed |
| for each part of a transfer. In addition, new functionality has been added |
| that will allow closing file handles of uploaded/downloaded files if they |
| are idle for a period of time, the timeout is set with |
| :kconfig:option:`MCUMGR_GRP_FS_FILE_AUTOMATIC_IDLE_CLOSE_TIME`. There is a |
| new command that can be used to close open file handles which can be used |
| after a file upload is complete to ensure that the file handle is closed |
| correctly, allowing other transports or other parts of the application |
| code to use it. |
| |
| * A new version of the SMP protocol used by MCUmgr has been introduced in the |
| header, which is used to indicate the version of the protocol being used. |
| This updated protocol allows returning much more detailed error responses |
| per group, see the |
| :ref:`MCUmgr SMP protocol specification <mcumgr_smp_protocol_specification>` |
| for details. |
| |
| * MCUmgr has now been marked as a stable Zephyr API. |
| |
| * The MCUmgr UDP transport has been refactored to resolve some concurrency |
| issues and fixes a potential issue whereby an application might call the |
| open transport function whilst it is already open, causing an endless log |
| output loop. |
| |
| * The MCUmgr fs_mgmt group Kconfig ``Insecure`` text has been replaced with |
| a CMake warning which triggers if fs_mgmt hooks are not enabled, as these |
| hooks can be used to ensure security of file access allowed by MCUmgr |
| clients. |
| |
| * Fixed an issue with MCUmgr fs_mgmt file download not checking if the |
| offset parameter was provided. |
| |
| * Fixed an issue with MCUmgr fs_mgmt file upload notification hook not |
| setting upload to true. |
| |
| * Fixed an issue with MCUmgr img_mgmt image upload ``upgrade`` field wrongly |
| checking if the new image was the same version of the application and |
| allowing it to be uploaded if it was. |
| |
| * MCUmgr img_mgmt group will only verify the SHA256 hash provided by the |
| client against the uploaded image (if support is enabled) if a full SHA256 |
| hash was provided. |
| |
| * MCUmgr Kconfig options have changed from ``select`` to ``depends on`` which |
| means that some additional Kconfig options may now need to be selected by |
| applications. :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_NET_BUF`, |
| :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_ZCBOR` and :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_CRC` are needed |
| to enable MCUmgr support, :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_BASE64` is needed to |
| enable shell/UART/dummy MCUmgr transports, |
| :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_NET_SOCKETS` is needed to enable the UDP MCUmgr |
| transport, :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_FLASH` is needed to enable MCUmgr |
| fs_mgmt, :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_FLASH` and |
| :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_IMG_MANAGER` are needed to enable MCUmgr img_mgmt. |
| |
| * MCUmgr img_mgmt group now uses unsigned integer values for image and slot |
| numbers, these numbers would never have been negative and should have been |
| unsigned. |
| |
| * POSIX API |
| |
| * Improved the locking strategy for :c:func:`eventfd_read()` and |
| :c:func:`eventfd_write()`. This eliminated a deadlock scenario that was |
| present since the initial contribution and increased performance by a |
| factor of 10x. |
| |
| * Reimplemented :ref:`POSIX <posix_support>` threads, mutexes, condition |
| variables, and barriers using native Zephyr counterparts. POSIX |
| synchronization primitives in Zephyr were originally implemented |
| separately and received less maintenance as a result. Unfortunately, this |
| opened POSIX up to unique bugs and race conditions. Going forward, POSIX |
| will benefit from all improvements to Zephyr's synchronization and |
| threading API and race conditions have been mitigated. |
| |
| * Retention |
| |
| * Retention subsystem has been added which adds enhanced features over |
| retained memory drivers allowing for partitioning, magic headers and |
| checksum validation. See :ref:`retention API <retention_api>` for details. |
| Support for the retention subsystem is experimental. |
| |
| * Boot mode retention module has been added which allows for setting/checking |
| the boot mode of an application, initial support has also been added to |
| MCUboot to allow for applications to use this as an entrance method for |
| MCUboot serial recovery mode. See :ref:`boot mode API <boot_mode_api>` for |
| details. |
| |
| * RTIO |
| |
| * Added policy that every ``sqe`` will generate a ``cqe`` (previously an RTIO_SQE_TRANSACTION |
| entry would only trigger a ``cqe`` on the last ``sqe`` in the transaction. |
| |
| * Power management |
| |
| * Added a new policy event API that can be used to register expected events |
| that will wake the system up in the future. This can be used to influence |
| the system on which low power states can be used. |
| |
| * Added a new device tree property ``zephyr,pm-device-runtime-auto`` to |
| automatically enable device runtime power management on a device after its |
| initialization. |
| |

| |
| MCUboot |
| ******* |
| |
| * Relocated the MCUboot Kconfig options from the main ``Kconfig.zephyr`` file to |
| a new ``modules/Kconfig.mcuboot`` module-specific file. This means that, for |
| interactive Kconfig interfaces, the MCUboot options will now be located under |
| ``Modules`` instead of under ``Boot Options``. |
| |
| * Added ``CONFIG_MCUBOOT_CMAKE_WEST_SIGN_PARAMS`` that allows to pass arguments to |
| west sign when invoked from cmake. |
| |
| Storage |
| ******* |
| |
| * Added :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_FLASH_MAP_LABELS`, which will enable runtime access to the labels |
| property of fixed partitions. This option is implied if kconfig:option:`CONFIG_FLASH_MAP_SHELL` |
| is enabled. These labels will be displayed in a separate column when using the ``flash_map list`` |
| shell command. |
| |
| Trusted Firmware-M |
| ****************** |
| |
| * Enable routing of PSA Crypto API calls from NS to S, thanks to separating MbedTLS into three |
| distinct libraries at build time (crypto, TLS, X.509). This also resolves header conflicts with |
| earlier integrations of TF-M and MbedTLS. |
| * Added psa_crypto sample back. |
| |
| zcbor |
