# Internal and Unstable APIs

[中文]

This section is listing some APIs that are internal or likely to be changed or removed in the next releases of ESP-IDF.

## API Reference

### Header File

- components/esp_rom/include/esp_rom_sys.h

- This header file can be included with:

  >     #include "esp_rom_sys.h"

### Functions

void esp_rom_software_reset_system(void)

  Software Reset digital core include RTC.

  It is not recommended to use this function in esp-idf, use esp_restart() instead.

void esp_rom_software_reset_cpu(int cpu_no)

  Software Reset cpu core.

  It is not recommended to use this function in esp-idf, use esp_restart() instead.

  Parameters:

    cpu_no -- : The CPU to reset, 0 for PRO CPU, 1 for APP CPU.

int esp_rom_printf(const char *fmt, ...)

  Print formatted string to console device.

  Note

  float and long long data are not supported!

  Parameters:

    - fmt -- Format string

    - ... -- Additional arguments, depending on the format string

  Returns:

    int: Total number of characters written on success; A negative number on failure.

int esp_rom_vprintf(const char *fmt, va_list ap)

  Print formatted string to console device.

  Note

  float and long long data are not supported!

  Parameters:

    - fmt -- Format string

    - ap -- List of arguments.

  Returns:

    int: Total number of characters written on success; A negative number on failure.

void esp_rom_delay_us(uint32_t us)

  Pauses execution for us microseconds.

  Parameters:

    us -- Number of microseconds to pause

void esp_rom_install_channel_putc(int channel, void (*putc)(char c))

  esp_rom_printf can print message to different channels simultaneously. This function can help install the low level putc function for esp_rom_printf.

  Parameters:

    - channel -- Channel number (starting from 1)

    - putc -- Function pointer to the putc implementation. Set NULL can disconnect esp_rom_printf with putc.

void esp_rom_output_to_channels(char c)

  It outputs a character to different channels simultaneously. This function is used by esp_rom_printf/esp_rom_vprintf.

  Parameters:

    c -- Char to output.

void esp_rom_install_uart_printf(void)

  Install UART1 as the default console channel, equivalent to `esp_rom_install_channel_putc(1, esp_rom_output_putc)`

soc_reset_reason_t esp_rom_get_reset_reason(int cpu_no)

  Get reset reason of CPU.

  Parameters:

    cpu_no -- CPU number

  Returns:

    Reset reason code (see in soc/reset_reasons.h)

void esp_rom_route_intr_matrix(int cpu_core, uint32_t periph_intr_id, uint32_t cpu_intr_num)

  Route peripheral interrupt sources to CPU's interrupt port by matrix.

  Usually there're 4 steps to use an interrupt:

  1. Route peripheral interrupt source to CPU. e.g. esp_rom_route_intr_matrix(0, ETS_WIFI_MAC_INTR_SOURCE, ETS_WMAC_INUM)

  2. Set interrupt handler for CPU

  3. Enable CPU interrupt

  4. Enable peripheral interrupt

  Parameters:

    - cpu_core -- The CPU number, which the peripheral interrupt will inform to

    - periph_intr_id -- The peripheral interrupt source number

    - cpu_intr_num -- The CPU (external) interrupt number. On targets that use CLIC as their interrupt controller, this number represents the external interrupt number. For example, passing `cpu_intr_num = i` to this function would in fact bind peripheral source to CPU interrupt `CLIC_EXT_INTR_NUM_OFFSET + i`.

uint32_t esp_rom_get_cpu_ticks_per_us(void)

  Get the real CPU ticks per us.

  Returns:

    CPU ticks per us

void esp_rom_set_cpu_ticks_per_us(uint32_t ticks_per_us)

  Set the real CPU tick rate.

  Note

  Call this function when CPU frequency is changed, otherwise the `esp_rom_delay_us` can be inaccurate.

  Parameters:

    ticks_per_us -- CPU ticks per us
