Important changes

  • Toolchain version has been updated to use GCC 5.2.0. Building projects with GCC 4.8.5 is no longer supported, and will trigger a warning in the build system.

  • Interrupt numbers are now assigned using interrupt allocation API. Applications should not use hardcoded interrupt numbers.

  • GPIO driver

    1. Modify the parameter of gpio_isr_register function.

      esp_err_t gpio_isr_register(void (*fn)(void*), void * arg, int intr_alloc_flags, gpio_isr_handle_t *handle);
      
    2. Add GPIO interrupt service, so that we can hook different isr handler to each GPIO.

      esp_err_t gpio_isr_handler_add(gpio_num_t gpio_num, gpio_isr_t isr_handler, void* args);
      esp_err_t gpio_isr_handler_remove(gpio_num_t gpio_num);
      esp_err_t gpio_install_isr_service(int intr_alloc_flags);
      void gpio_uninstall_isr_service();
      
    3. Fix GPIO pull-up/down function, old macros should not be used any more. Use gpio_{pullup,pulldown}_{en,dis} functions instead.

      PIN_PULLUP_EN(GPIO_PIN_MUX_REG[x])   ->  gpio_pullup_en(x)
      PIN_PULLUP_DIS(GPIO_PIN_MUX_REG[x])  ->  gpio_pullup_dis(x)
      PIN_PULLDWN_EN(GPIO_PIN_MUX_REG[x])  ->  gpio_pulldown_en(x)
      PIN_PULLDWN_DIS(GPIO_PIN_MUX_REG[x]) ->  gpio_pulldown_dis(x)
      
  • UART driver

    1. Modify the parameters of uart_driver_install and uart_isr_register

      esp_err_t uart_driver_install(uart_port_t uart_num, int rx_buffer_size, int tx_buffer_size, int queue_size, QueueHandle_t *uart_queue, int intr_alloc_flags);
      esp_err_t uart_isr_register(uart_port_t uart_num, void (*fn)(void*), void * arg, int intr_alloc_flags,  uart_isr_handle_t *handle);
      
    2. Add API to get received data length in buffer.

      esp_err_t uart_get_buffered_data_len(uart_port_t uart_num, size_t* size);
      
    3. Add pattern detect feature.

      esp_err_t uart_disable_pattern_det_intr(uart_port_t uart_num);
      esp_err_t uart_enable_pattern_det_intr(uart_port_t uart_num, char pattern_chr, uint8_t chr_num, int chr_tout, int post_idle, int pre_idle);
      
  • LEDC driver

    1. Modify the parameters for ISR register APIs:

      esp_err_t ledc_isr_register(void (*fn)(void*), void * arg, int intr_alloc_flags, ledc_isr_handle_t *handle);
      
    2. Add fade functions for LEDC:

      esp_err_t ledc_set_fade_with_step(ledc_mode_t speed_mode, ledc_channel_t channel, int target_duty, int scale, int cycle_num);
      esp_err_t ledc_set_fade_with_time(ledc_mode_t speed_mode, ledc_channel_t channel, int target_duty, int max_fade_time_ms);
      esp_err_t ledc_fade_func_install(int intr_alloc_flags);
      void ledc_fade_func_uninstall();
      esp_err_t ledc_fade_start(ledc_channel_t channel, ledc_fade_mode_t wait_done);
      
  • Modify parameters for ISR register API in PCNT driver

    esp_err_t pcnt_isr_register(void (*fun)(void*), void * arg, int intr_alloc_flags, pcnt_isr_handle_t *handle);
