ESP-IDF Pre-release 3.0-rc1

Documentation for pre-release 3.0-rc1 is available at http://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/v3.0-rc1/.

This is the list of changes since release 2.1.

Breaking Changes

Release v3.0 is largely compatible with apps written for ESP-IDF v2.1. However some breaking behaviour and significant API changes have been introduced:

• Crystal frequency is now set to 40MHz by default (previously auto-detected). A warning is logged if the detected frequency doesn't match, but users of 26MHz boards such as Sparkfun ESP32 Thing will need to configure 26MHz manually. (documentation)

• Bluetooth controller reserved memory is now determined at run time. Applications with Bluetooth enabled can use the esp_bt_controller_mem_release) function to reclaim unused controller memory.

• New Task Watchdog API. esp_task_wdt_feed() has been replaced by esp_task_wdt_reset(). Tasks must now be explicitly added to the Task Watchdog. (documentation)

• FreeRTOS tick and idle hooks are now assigned per-core (#781)

• RMT peripheral function rmt_get_ringbuf_handler renamed to rmt_get_ringbuf_handle

• Interrupt allocation: Multiple interrupt handlers assigned to the same interrupt source must have the same flags

• By default, BASIC ROM Console fallback is permanently disabled (via efuse) on first boot, to avoid accidentally resetting to this mode

• SPI driver: a number of SPI master APIs, SPI master address format, etc. have changed. See Drivers section (below) for details

• tcpip_adapter_start function is now split into interface-specific tcpip_adapter_eth_start, tcpip_adapter_wifi_start, etc. (This is a breaking API change, but this function is not normally called directly by apps)

• WiFi initialization function, esp_wifi_init, no longer calls nvs_flash_init internally. Applications need to call nvs_flash_init before calling esp_wifi_init.

• esp_wifi_wps_enable is changed from esp_err_t esp_wifi_wps_enable(void) to esp_err_t esp_wifi_wps_enable(const esp_wps_config_t *config). Please check WPS example for details.

• esp_wifi_sta_wpa2_ent_enable is changed from esp_err_t esp_wifi_sta_wpa2_ent_enable(void) to esp_err_t esp_wifi_sta_wpa2_ent_enable(const esp_wpa2_config_t *config). Please check WPA2 example for details.

• Definition of wifi_country_t has been changed (documentation).

• When WiFi station disconnects from the AP, IP address does not get immediately reset to 0. If the station is disconnected for some time, SYSTEM_EVENT_STA_LOST_IP event is generated, and IP address is set to 0. The timeout can be set using CONFIG_IP_LOST_TIMER_INTERVAL option (120 seconds by default).

• New MTU API. esp_ble_gattc_config_mtu() has been replaced by esp_ble_gatt_set_local_mtu() and esp_ble_gattc_send_mtu_req(). The former API is used to set the local Rx MTU and the latter is used by GATTC to send MTU Request

• GATTC APIs esp_ble_gattc_get_characteristic() and esp_ble_gattc_get_descriptor() are removed

  • New API esp_ble_gattc_get_db() can be used to get the whole GATT database.(esp_ble_gattc_get_db)
  • Some other new APIs are provided to get the specific characteristics by UUID or handle, like esp_ble_gattc_get_char_by_uuid().

• The parameters of APIs used for the GATTC read/write operations are changed, handles are now used as identifiers instead of UUIDs.

  • esp_ble_gattc_read_char()
  • esp_ble_gattc_read_char_descr()
  • esp_ble_gattc_write_char()
  • esp_ble_gattc_write_char_descr()
  • esp_ble_gattc_prepare_write()
  • esp_ble_gattc_prepare_write_char_descr()

• Add an event for enabling or disabling privacy(ESP_GAP_BLE_SET_LOCAL_PRIVACY_COMPLETE_EVT)

• Add two GATTC events to indicate the physical connection status

  • ESP_GATTC_DISCONNECT_EVT
  • ESP_GATTC_CONNECT_EVT

• Modify two GATTS events (ESP_GATTS_CONNECT_EVT and ESP_GATTS_DISCONNECT_EVT) that indicate the physical connection status

  • Remove an unnecessary parameter is_connected
  • Add a new parameter reason in the ESP_GATTS_DISCONNECT_EVT event

• Modify GATTS event ESP_GATTS_CONF_EVT

  • Parameters len and value are added in the event to indicate the notification/indication that the event belongs to. These two parameters are valid only when the packet is not sent successflully.

• bt.h header file has been renamed to esp_bt.h.

• LWIP socket file descriptors now take higher numeric values (via the LWIP LWIP_SOCKET_OFFSET macro). BSD sockets code should mostly work as expected (and, new in V3.0, some standard POSIX functions can now be used with sockets). However any code which assumes a socket file descriptor is always a low numbered integer may need modifying to account for LWIP_SOCKET_OFFSET. Note that the common pattern of calling select(FD_SETSIZE, ....) will no longer work, as the set size is much smaller than the LWIP_SOCKET_OFFSET value. It is necessary to calculate the actual maximum fd numeric value.

Hardware Support

• Support for ESP32-PICO-D4 System In Package and ESP-32-PICO-KIT development board

• SPI flash erase/write operations disallowed in dangerous regions (bootloader, partition table, running app)

Bug Fixes
