IEEE 802.15.4
A new mandatory method attr_get() was introduced into ieee802154_radio_api. Drivers need to implement at least IEEE802154_ATTR_PHY_SUPPORTED_CHANNEL_PAGES and IEEE802154_ATTR_PHY_SUPPORTED_CHANNEL_RANGES.
The hardware capabilities IEEE802154_HW_2_4_GHZ and IEEE802154_HW_SUB_GHZ were removed as they were not aligned with the standard and some already existing drivers couldn’t properly express their channel page and channel range (notably SUN FSK and HRP UWB drivers). The capabilities were replaced by the standard conforming new driver attribute IEEE802154_ATTR_PHY_SUPPORTED_CHANNEL_PAGES that fits all in-tree drivers.
The method get_subg_channel_count() was removed from ieee802154_radio_api. This method could not properly express the channel range of existing drivers (notably SUN FSK drivers that implement channel pages > 0 and may not have zero-based channel ranges or UWB drivers that could not be represented at all). The method was replaced by the new driver attribute IEEE802154_ATTR_PHY_SUPPORTED_CHANNEL_RANGES that fits all in-tree drivers.

Converted CoAP client library to use
zsock_*
API internally.Fixed a bug in CoAP client library, which resulted in an incorrect retransmission timeout calculation.
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.
API documentation improvements.
Added new API functions:
Connection Manager:
Added support for auto-connect and auto-down behaviors (controlled by
CONN_MGR_IF_NO_AUTO_CONNECT
andCONN_MGR_IF_NO_AUTO_DOWN

IPv6:
Made sure that ongoing DAD procedure is cancelled when IPv6 address is removed.
Fixed a bug, where Solicited-Node multicast address could be removed while still in use.
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
CONFIG_LWM2M_TICKLESS
.Added new
LWM2M_RD_CLIENT_EVENT_DEREGISTER
event.Block-wise sending now supports LwM2M read and composite-read operations as well. When
CONFIG_LWM2M_COAP_BLOCK_TRANSFER
is enabled, any content that is larger thanCONFIG_LWM2M_COAP_MAX_MSG_SIZE
is split into a block-wise transfer.Block-wise transfers don’t require tokens to match anymore as this was not in line with CoAP specification (CoAP doesn’t require tokens reuse).
Various fixes to bootstrap. Now client ensures that Bootstrap-Finish command is sent, before closing the DTLS pipe. Also allows Bootstrap server to close the DTLS pipe. Added timeout when waiting for bootstrap commands.

lwm2m create
, which allows to create LwM2M object instances.Added LwM2M interoperability test-suite against Leshan server.
API documentation improvements.
Several other minor fixes and improvements.
Misc:
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
net_time_t
,net_ptp_time
,ieee802154_config
,ieee802154_radio_api
andnet_pkt
for extensive documentation. As this is largely an internal API, existing applications will most probably continue to work unchanged.Added support for additional net_pkt filter hooks:
Reworked several networking components to use timepoint API.
Added API functions facilitate going through all IPv4/IPv6 registered on an interface (
net_if_ipv4_addr_foreach()
,net_if_ipv6_addr_foreach()
).NET_EVENT_IPV6_PREFIX_ADD
andNET_EVENT_IPV6_PREFIX_DEL
events now provide more detailed information about the prefix (net_event_ipv6_prefix
).General cleanup of the shadowed variables across the networking subsystem.

).Moved PPP L2 out of experimental stage.
Prevent PPP connection reestablish when carrier is down.
Sockets:
Added support for statically allocated socketpairs (in case no heap is available).
Made send timeout configurable (
CONFIG_NET_SOCKET_MAX_SEND_WAIT
).Added support for
FIONREAD
andFIONBIO
ioctl()
commands.Fixed input filtering for connected datagram sockets.
Fixed
getsockname()
operation on unconnected sockets.Added new secure socket options for DTLS Connection ID support:
Added support for
SO_REUSEADDR
andSO_REUSEPORT
socket options.
TCP:
Fixed potential stall in data retransmission, when data was only partially acknowledged.
Made TCP work queue priority configurable (
CONFIG_NET_TCP_WORKER_PRIO
).Added support for TCP new Reno collision avoidance algorithm.
Fixed source address selection on bound sockets.
Fixed possible memory leak in case listening socket was closed during active handshake.
Fixed RST packet handling during handshake.
Refactored the code responsible for connection teardown to fix found bugs and simplify future maintenance.
TFTP:
Added new TFTP client sample.
API documentation improvements.
WebSocket
WebSocket library no longer closes underlying TCP socket automatically on disconnect. This aligns with the connect behavior, where the WebSocket library expects an already connected TCP socket.
Wi-Fi:
Added Passive scan support.
The Wi-Fi scan API updated with Wi-Fi scan parameter to allow scan mode selection.
Updated TWT handling.
Added support for generic network manager API.
Added support for Wi-Fi mode setting and selection.

Libraries / Subsystems
Management
Introduced MCUmgr client support with handlers for img_mgmt and os_mgmt.
Added response checking to MCUmgr’s
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
ofmgmt_group
when registering a group. Seesmp_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
CONFIG_MCUMGR_GRP_IMG_MUTEX
.Added MCUmgr settings management group, which allows for manipulation of zephyr settings from a remote device, see Settings (Config) Management Group for details.
Added
CONFIG_MCUMGR_GRP_IMG_ALLOW_CONFIRM_NON_ACTIVE_IMAGE_SECONDARY
andCONFIG_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
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 tomgmt_handler
whenCONFIG_MCUMGR_MGMT_HANDLER_USER_DATA
is enabled.Added optional
force
parameter to os mgmt reset command, this can be checked in theMGMT_EVT_OP_OS_MGMT_RESET
notification callback whose data structure isos_mgmt_reset_data
.Added configurable number of SMP encoding levels via
CONFIG_MCUMGR_SMP_CBOR_MIN_ENCODING_LEVELS
, which automatically increments minimum encoding levels for in-tree groups ifCONFIG_ZCBOR_CANONICAL
is enabled.Added STM32 SPI backend for EC Host command protocol.
Fixed settings_mgmt returning unknown error instead of invalid key specified error.
Fixed fs_mgmt returning parameter too large error instead of file is empty error when attempting to hash/checksum a file which is empty.
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 buffer to read/prog buffer.
Random
CONFIG_XOROSHIRO_RANDOM_GENERATOR
, deprecated a long time ago, is finally removed.
Retention
Added the Bootloader Information subsystem.
Added support for allowing mutex support to be forcibly disabled with
CONFIG_RETENTION_MUTEX_FORCE_DISABLE
.
Binary descriptors
Added the Binary Descriptors (
bindesc
) subsystem.
POSIX API
Added dynamic thread stack support for
pthread_create()

FIONREAD
request toioctl()
Added
CONFIG_FDTABLE
to conditionally compile file descriptor tableAdded logging to POSIX threads, mutexes, and condition variables
Fixed
poll()
issue with event file descriptors
LoRa/LoRaWAN
Updated
loramac-node
from v4.6.0 to v4.7.0
CAN ISO-TP
Added support for CAN FD.
RTIO
Added atomic completion counter fixing a race caught by unit tests
Added a
RTIO_SQE_NO_RESPONSE
flag for submissions when no completion notification is neededRemoved unused Kconfig options for different executors
ZBus
Changed channels’ and observers’ metadata to comply with the data/config approach. ZBus stores immutable config in iterable sections in Flash and the mutable portion of data in the RAM.
The relationship between channels and observers is mapped using a new entity called observation. The observation enables us to increase the granularity of masking observation. Developers can mask individual observations, disable the observer, or use runtime observers.
Added API
ZBUS_CHAN_ADD_OBS
macro for adding post-definition static observers of a channel. That can replace the runtime observer feature, enabling developers to add static observers after the channel definition in different files. It increases the composability of the system using ZBus, making post-definition channel observation rely on the stack instead of the heap.Added a new type of observer called Message Subscriber. ZBus’ VDED will send a copy of the message during the publication/notification process.
Changed the VDED delivery sequence. Check the ref:documentation<zbus delivery sequence>.
ZBus runtime observers now rely on the heap instead of a memory pool.
Added new iterable section iterators APIs (for channels and observers) can now receive a
user_data
pointer to keep context between the function calls.Added APIs
ZBUS_LISTENER_DEFINE_WITH_ENABLE
andZBUS_SUBSCRIBER_DEFINE_WITH_ENABLE
that allows developers to define observers’ statuses (enabled/disabled) programmatically. With the API, developers can create observers initially disabled and enable them in runtime.
Power management
Added
CONFIG_PM_NEED_ALL_DEVICES_IDLE
. When this option is set the power management will keep the system active if there is any device busy.pm_device_runtime_get()
can be called from ISR now.Power states can be disabled directly in devicetree doing
status = "disabled";
Added the helper function,
pm_device_driver_init()
, for initializing devices into a specific power state.
Modem modules
Added the Modem modules subsystem.
HALs
Nordic
Updated nrfx to version 3.1.0.
Nuvoton
Added Nuvoton NuMaker M46x
MCUboot
Added
CONFIG_MCUBOOT_BOOTLOADER_NO_DOWNGRADE
that allows to inform application that the on-board MCUboot has been configured with downgrade prevention enabled. This option is automatically selected for DirectXIP mode and is available for both swap modes.Added
CONFIG_MCUBOOT_BOOTLOADER_MODE_OVERWRITE_ONLY
that allows to inform application that the on-board MCUboot will overwrite the primary slot with secondary slot contents, without saving the original image in primary slot.Fixed issue with serial recovery not showing image details for decrypted images.
Fixed issue with serial recovery in single slot mode wrongly iterating over 2 image slots.
Fixed an issue with boot_serial repeats not being processed when output was sent, this would lead to a divergence of commands whereby later commands being sent would have the previous command output sent instead.
Fixed an issue with the boot_serial zcbor setup encoder function wrongly including the buffer address in the size which caused serial recovery to fail on some platforms.
Fixed wrongly building in optimize for debug mode by default, this saves a significant amount of flash space.
Fixed issue with serial recovery use of MBEDTLS having undefined operations which led to usage faults when the secondary slot image was encrypted.
Fixed issue with bootutil asserting on maximum alignment in non-swap modes.
Added error output when flash device fails to open and asserts are disabled, which will now panic the bootloader.
Added currently running slot ID and maximum application size to shared data function definition.
Added P384 and SHA384 support to imgtool.
Added optional serial recovery image state and image set state commands.
Added
dumpinfo
command for signed image parsing in imgtool.Added
getpubhash
command to dump the sha256 hash of the public key in imgtool.Added support for
getpub
to print the output to a file in imgtool.Added support for dumping the raw versions of the public keys in imgtool.
Added support for sharing boot information with application via retention subsystem.
Added support for serial recovery to read and handle encrypted seondary slot partitions.
Removed ECDSA P224 support.
Removed custom image list boot serial extension support.
Reworked boot serial extensions so that they can be used by modules or from user repositories by switching to iterable sections.
Reworked image encryption support for Zephyr, static dummy key files are no longer in the code, a pem file must be supplied to extract the private and public keys. The Kconfig menu has changed to only show a single option for enabling encryption and selecting the key file.
Reworked the ECDSA256 TLV curve agnostic and renamed it to
ECDSA_SIG
.CDDL auto-generated function code has been replaced with zcbor function calls, this now allows the parameters to be supplied in any order.
The MCUboot version in this release is version
2.0.0+0-rc1
.
Nanopb
Changed project status to maintained.
Added a separate nanopb.cmake file to be included by applications.
Added helper cmake function
zephyr_nanopb_sources
to simplify.proto
file inclusion.
LVGL
Changed project status to maintained.
Library has been updated to release v8.3.7.
Added
zephyr,lvgl-{pointer,button,encoder}-input
pseudo device bindings.CONFIG_LV_Z_KSCAN_POINTER
is still supported but touch controllers need azephyr,kscan-input
child node to emit input events.LVGL shell allows for monkey testing (requires
CONFIG_LV_USE_MONKEY
) and inspecting memory usage.
Trusted Firmware-A
Updated to TF-A 2.9.0.
Documentation
Upgraded Sphinx to 6.2
