* Architectural support for Arm Cortex-M has been separated from Arm
Cortex-A and Cortex-R. This includes separate source modules to handle
tasks like IRQ management, exception handling, thread handling and swap.
For implementation details see :github:`60031`.

Boards & SoC Support
********************

boards using external SDRAM should set CONFIG_DEVICE_CONFIGURATION_DATA
and CONFIG_NXP_IMX_EXTERNAL_SDRAM to enabled.
* i.MX RT SOCs no longer support CONFIG_OCRAM_NOCACHE, as this functionality
can be achieved using devicetree memory regions

Build system and infrastructure
*******************************
* SCA (Static Code Analysis)
* Added support for CodeChecker
* Twister now supports ``required_snippets`` in testsuite .yml files, this can
be used to include a snippet when a test is ran (and exclude any boards from
running that the snippet cannot be applied to).
* Interrupts
* Added support for shared interrupts
Drivers and Sensors
*******************
* ADC
* Battery-backed RAM
* CAN
* Clock control
* Added support for Nuvoton NuMaker M46x
* Counter
* Crypto
* DAC
* DFU
* Disk
* Display
* Added support for ST7735S (in ST7735R driver)
* DMA
* EEPROM
* Entropy
* ESPI
* Ethernet
* Added :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_ETH_NATIVE_POSIX_RX_TIMEOUT` to set rx timeout for native posix.
* Flash
* Introduce npcx flash driver that supports two or more spi nor flashes via a
single Flash Interface Unit (FIU) module and Direct Read Access (DRA) mode
for better performance.
* Added support for Nuvoton NuMaker M46x embedded flash
* FPGA
* Fuel Gauge
* GPIO
* Added support for Nuvoton NuMaker M46x
* hwinfo
* I2C
* I2S
* I3C
* IEEE 802.15.4
* Interrupt Controller
* GIC: Architecture version selection is now based on the device tree
* IPM
* KSCAN
* LED
* MBOX
* MEMC
* PCIE
* PECI
* Pin control
* Added support for Nuvoton NuMaker M46x
* PWM
* Power domain
* Regulators
* Reset
* Added support for Nuvoton NuMaker M46x
* SDHC
* Sensor
* Serial
* Added support for Nuvoton NuMaker M46x
* SPI
* Remove npcx spi driver implemented by Flash Interface Unit (FIU) module.
* Timer
* The TI CC13xx/26xx system clock timer compatible was changed from
:dtcompatible:`ti,cc13xx-cc26xx-rtc` to :dtcompatible:`ti,cc13xx-cc26xx-rtc-timer`
and the corresponding Kconfig option from :kconfig:option:`CC13X2_CC26X2_RTC_TIMER`
to :kconfig:option:`CC13XX_CC26XX_RTC_TIMER` for improved consistency and
extensibility. No action is required unless the internal timer was modified.
* USB
* W1
* Watchdog
* WiFi
Networking
**********
* Time and timestamps in the network subsystem, PTP and IEEE 802.15.4
were more precisely specified and all in-tree call sites updated accordingly.
Fields for timed TX and TX/RX timestamps have been consolidated. See
:c:type:`net_time_t`, :c:struct:`net_ptp_time`, :c:struct:`ieee802154_config`,
:c:struct:`ieee802154_radio_api` and :c:struct:`net_pkt` for extensive
documentation. As this is largely an internal API, existing applications will
most probably continue to work unchanged.
* CoAP:
* Use 64 bit timer values for calculating transmission timeouts. This fixes potential problems for
devices that stay on for more than 49 days when the 32 bit uptime counter might roll over and
cause CoAP packets to not timeout at all on this event.
* LwM2M:
* Added support for tickless mode. This removes the 500 ms timeout from the socket loop
so the engine does not constantly wake up the CPU. This can be enabled by
:kconfig:option:`CONFIG_LWM2M_TICKLESS`.
* Wi-Fi
* Added Passive scan support.
* The Wi-Fi scan API updated with Wi-Fi scan parameter to allow scan mode selection.
USB
***
* USB device HID
* Kconfig option USB_HID_PROTOCOL_CODE, deprecated in v2.6, is finally removed.
Devicetree

Libraries / Subsystems
**********************
* Management
* Introduced MCUmgr client support with handlers for img_mgmt and os_mgmt.
* Added response checking to MCUmgr's :c:enumerator:`MGMT_EVT_OP_CMD_RECV`
notification callback to allow applications to reject MCUmgr commands.
* MCUmgr SMP version 2 error translation (to legacy MCUmgr error code) is now
supported in function handlers by setting ``mg_translate_error`` of
:c:struct:`mgmt_group` when registering a transport. See
:c:type:`smp_translate_error_fn` for function details.
* Fixed an issue with MCUmgr img_mgmt group whereby the size of the upload in
the initial packet was not checked.
* Fixed an issue with MCUmgr fs_mgmt group whereby some status codes were not
checked properly, this meant that the error returned might not be the
correct error, but would only occur in situations where an error was
already present.
* Fixed an issue whereby the SMP response function did not check to see if
the initial zcbor map was created successfully.
* Fixes an issue with MCUmgr shell_mgmt group whereby the length of a
received command was not properly checked.
* Added optional mutex locking support to MCUmgr img_mgmt group, which can
be enabled with :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_MCUMGR_GRP_IMG_MUTEX`.
* Added MCUmgr settings management group, which allows for manipulation of
zephyr settings from a remote device, see :ref:`mcumgr_smp_group_3` for
details.
* Added :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_MCUMGR_GRP_IMG_ALLOW_CONFIRM_NON_ACTIVE_IMAGE_SECONDARY`
and :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_MCUMGR_GRP_IMG_ALLOW_CONFIRM_NON_ACTIVE_IMAGE_ANY`
that allow to control whether MCUmgr client will be allowed to confirm
non-active images.
* Added :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_MCUMGR_GRP_IMG_ALLOW_ERASE_PENDING` that allows
to erase slots pending for next boot, that are not revert slots.
* Added ``user_data`` as an optional field to :c:struct:`mgmt_handler` when
:kconfig:option:`CONFIG_MCUMGR_MGMT_HANDLER_USER_DATA` is enabled.
* File systems
* Added support for ext2 file system.
* Added support of mounting littlefs on the block device from the shell/fs.
* Added alignment parameter to FS_LITTLEFS_DECLARE_CUSTOM_CONFIG macro, it can speed up read/write
operation for SDMMC devices in case when we align buffers on CONFIG_SDHC_BUFFER_ALIGNMENT,
because we can avoid extra copy of data from card bffer to read/prog buffer.
