## Peripheral Clock Gating

As usual, peripheral clock gating is still handled by driver itself, users do not need to take care of the peripheral module clock gating.

However, for advanced users who implement their own drivers based on `hal` and `soc` components, the previous clock gating include path has been changed from `driver/periph_ctrl.h` to `esp_private/periph_ctrl.h`.

## RTC Subsystem Control

RTC control APIs have been moved from `driver/rtc_cntl.h` to `esp_private/rtc_ctrl.h`.

## ADC

### ADC Oneshot & Continuous Mode Drivers

The ADC oneshot mode driver has been redesigned.

- The new driver is in `esp_adc` component and the include path is `esp_adc/adc_oneshot.h`.

- The legacy driver is still available in the previous include path `driver/adc.h`.

The ADC continuous mode driver has been moved from `driver` component to `esp_adc` component.

- The include path has been changed from `driver/adc.h` to `esp_adc/adc_continuous.h`.

Attempting to use the legacy include path `driver/adc.h` of either driver triggers the build warning below by default. However, the warning can be suppressed by enabling the CONFIG_ADC_SUPPRESS_DEPRECATE_WARN Kconfig option.

    legacy adc driver is deprecated, please migrate to use esp_adc/adc_oneshot.h and esp_adc/adc_continuous.h for oneshot mode and continuous mode drivers respectively

### ADC Calibration Driver

The ADC calibration driver has been redesigned.

- The new driver is in `esp_adc` component and the include path is `esp_adc/adc_cali.h` and `esp_adc/adc_cali_scheme.h`.

Legacy driver is still available by including `esp_adc_cal.h`. However, if users still would like to use the include path of the legacy driver, users should add `esp_adc` component to the list of component requirements in CMakeLists.txt.

Attempting to use the legacy include path `esp_adc_cal.h` triggers the build warning below by default. However, the warning can be suppressed by enabling the CONFIG_ADC_CALI_SUPPRESS_DEPRECATE_WARN Kconfig option.

    legacy adc calibration driver is deprecated, please migrate to use esp_adc/adc_cali.h and esp_adc/adc_cali_scheme.h

### API Changes

- The ADC power management APIs `adc_power_acquire` and `adc_power_release` have made private and moved to `esp_private/adc_share_hw_ctrl.h`.

  > - The two APIs were previously made public due to a HW errata workaround.

  > - Now, ADC power management is completely handled internally by drivers.

  > - Users who still require this API can include `esp_private/adc_share_hw_ctrl.h` to continue using these functions.

- `driver/adc2_wifi_private.h` has been moved to `esp_private/adc_share_hw_ctrl.h`.

- Enums `ADC_UNIT_BOTH`, `ADC_UNIT_ALTER`, and `ADC_UNIT_MAX` in `adc_unit_t` have been removed.

- The following enumerations have been removed as some of their enumeration values are not supported on all chips. This would lead to the driver triggering a runtime error if an unsupported value is used.

  > - Enum `ADC_CHANNEL_MAX`

  > - Enum `ADC_ATTEN_MAX`

  > - Enum `ADC_CONV_UNIT_MAX`

- API `hall_sensor_read` on ESP32 has been removed. Hall sensor is no longer supported on ESP32.

- API `adc_set_i2s_data_source` and `adc_i2s_mode_init` have been deprecated. Related enum `adc_i2s_source_t` has been deprecated. Please migrate to use `esp_adc/adc_continuous.h`.

- API `adc_digi_filter_reset`, `adc_digi_filter_set_config`, `adc_digi_filter_get_config` and `adc_digi_filter_enable` have been removed. These APIs behaviours are not guaranteed. Enum `adc_digi_filter_idx_t`, `adc_digi_filter_mode_t` and structure `adc_digi_iir_filter_t` have been removed as well.

- API `esp_adc_cal_characterize` has been deprecated, please migrate to `adc_cali_create_scheme_curve_fitting` or `adc_cali_create_scheme_line_fitting` instead.

- API `esp_adc_cal_raw_to_voltage` has been deprecated, please migrate to `adc_cali_raw_to_voltage` instead.

- API `esp_adc_cal_get_voltage` has been deprecated, please migrate to `adc_oneshot_get_calibrated_result` instead.

## GPIO

- The previous Kconfig option RTCIO_SUPPORT_RTC_GPIO_DESC has been removed, thus the `rtc_gpio_desc` array is unavailable. Please use `rtc_io_desc` array instead.

- The user callback of a GPIO interrupt should no longer read the GPIO interrupt status register to get the GPIO's pin number of triggering the interrupt. You should use the callback argument to determine the GPIO's pin number instead.

  > - Previously, when a GPIO interrupt occurs, the GPIO's interrupt status register is cleared after calling the user callbacks. Thus, it was possible for users to read the GPIO's interrupt status register inside the callback to determine which GPIO was used to trigger the interrupt.

  > - However, clearing the interrupt status register after calling the user callbacks can potentially cause edge-triggered interrupts to be lost. For example, if an edge-triggered interrupt is triggered/retriggered while the user callbacks are being called, that interrupt will be cleared without its registered user callback being handled.

  > - Now, the GPIO's interrupt status register is cleared before invoking the user callbacks. Thus, users can no longer read the GPIO interrupt status register to determine which pin has triggered the interrupt. Instead, users should use the callback argument to pass the pin number.

## Timer Group Driver

Timer Group driver has been redesigned into GPTimer, which aims to unify and simplify the usage of general purpose timer.

Although it is recommended to use the new driver APIs, the legacy driver is still available in the previous include path `driver/timer.h`. However, by default, including `driver/timer.h` triggers the build warning below. The warning can be suppressed by the Kconfig option CONFIG_GPTIMER_SUPPRESS_DEPRECATE_WARN.

    legacy timer group driver is deprecated, please migrate to driver/gptimer.h

The major breaking changes in concept and usage are listed as follows:

### Breaking Changes in Concepts

- `timer_group_t` and `timer_idx_t` which used to identify the hardware timer are removed from user's code. In the new driver, a timer is represented by `gptimer_handle_t`.

- Definition of timer clock source is moved to `gptimer_clock_source_t`, the previous `timer_src_clk_t` is not used.

- Definition of timer count direction is moved to `gptimer_count_direction_t`, the previous `timer_count_dir_t` is not used.

- Only level interrupt is supported, `timer_intr_t` and `timer_intr_mode_t` are not used.

- Auto-reload is enabled by set the `gptimer_alarm_config_t::auto_reload_on_alarm` flag. `timer_autoreload_t` is not used.

### Breaking Changes in Usage

- Timer initialization is done by creating a timer instance from `gptimer_new_timer()`. Basic configurations like clock source, resolution and direction should be set in `gptimer_config_t`. Note that, specific configurations of alarm events are not needed during the installation stage of the driver.

- Alarm event is configured by `gptimer_set_alarm_action()`, with parameters set in the `gptimer_alarm_config_t`.

- Setting and getting count value are done by `gptimer_set_raw_count()` and `gptimer_get_raw_count()`. The driver does not help convert the raw value into UTC time-stamp. Instead, the conversion should be done from user's side as the timer resolution is also known to the user.

- The driver will install the interrupt service as well if `gptimer_event_callbacks_t::on_alarm` is set to a valid callback function. In the callback, users do not have to deal with the low level registers (like "clear interrupt status", "re-enable alarm event" and so on). So functions like `timer_group_get_intr_status_in_isr` and `timer_group_get_auto_reload_in_isr` are not used anymore.

- To update the alarm configurations when alarm event happens, one can call `gptimer_set_alarm_action()` in the interrupt callback, then the alarm will be re-enabled again.

- Alarm will always be re-enabled by the driver if `gptimer_alarm_config_t::auto_reload_on_alarm` is set to true.

## Temperature Sensor Driver

The temperature sensor driver has been redesigned and it is recommended to use the new driver. However, the old driver is still available but cannot be used with the new driver simultaneously.

The new driver can be included via `driver/temperature_sensor.h`. The old driver is still available in the previous include path `driver/temp_sensor.h`. However, including `driver/temp_sensor.h` triggers the build warning below by default. The warning can be suppressed by enabling the menuconfig option CONFIG_TEMP_SENSOR_SUPPRESS_DEPRECATE_WARN.

    legacy temperature sensor driver is deprecated, please migrate to driver/temperature_sensor.h

Configuration contents has been changed. In the old version, users need to configure `clk_div` and `dac_offset`. While in the new version, users only need to choose `tsens_range`.

The process of using temperature sensor has been changed. In the old version, users can use `config->start->read_celsius` to get value. In the new version, users should install the temperature sensor driver firstly, by `temperature_sensor_install` and uninstall it when finished. For more information, please refer to Temperature Sensor .

## LCD

- The LCD panel initialization flow is slightly changed. Now the `esp_lcd_panel_init()` will not turn on the display automatically. User needs to call `esp_lcd_panel_disp_on_off()` to manually turn on the display. Note, this is different from turning on backlight. With this breaking change, user can flash a predefined pattern to the screen before turning on the screen. This can help avoid random noise on the screen after a power on reset.

- `esp_lcd_panel_disp_off()` is deprecated, please use `esp_lcd_panel_disp_on_off()` instead.

- `dc_as_cmd_phase` is removed. The SPI LCD driver currently does not support a 9-bit SPI LCD. Please always use a dedicated GPIO to control the LCD D/C line.

- The way to register RGB panel event callbacks has been moved from the `esp_lcd_rgb_panel_config_t` into a separate API `esp_lcd_rgb_panel_register_event_callbacks()`. However, the event callback signature is not changed.

- Previous `relax_on_idle` flag in `esp_lcd_rgb_panel_config_t` has been renamed into `esp_lcd_rgb_panel_config_t::refresh_on_demand`, which expresses the same meaning but with a clear name.

- If the RGB LCD is created with the `refresh_on_demand` flag enabled, the driver will not start a refresh in the `esp_lcd_panel_draw_bitmap()`. Now users have to call `esp_lcd_rgb_panel_refresh()` to refresh the screen by themselves.

- `esp_lcd_color_space_t` is deprecated, please use `lcd_color_space_t` to describe the color space, and use `lcd_rgb_element_order_t` to describe the data order of RGB color.

## Dedicated GPIO Driver

- All of the dedicated GPIO related Low Level (LL) functions in `cpu_ll.h` have been moved to `dedic_gpio_cpu_ll.h` and renamed.

## I2S Driver

The I2S driver has been redesigned (see I2S Driver), which aims to rectify the shortcomings of the driver that were exposed when supporting all the new features of ESP32-C3 & ESP32-S3. The new driver's APIs are available by including corresponding I2S mode's header files esp_driver_i2s/include/driver/i2s_std.h, esp_driver_i2s/include/driver/i2s_pdm.h, or esp_driver_i2s/include/driver/i2s_tdm.h.

Meanwhile, the old driver's APIs in driver/deprecated/driver/i2s.h are still supported for backward compatibility. But there will be warnings if users keep using the old APIs in their projects, these warnings can be suppressed by the Kconfig option CONFIG_I2S_SUPPRESS_DEPRECATE_WARN.

Here is the general overview of the current I2S files:

### Breaking changes in Concepts

#### Independent TX/RX channels

The minimum control unit in new I2S driver are now individual TX/RX channels instead of an entire I2S controller (that consists of multiple channels).

- The TX and RX channels of the same I2S controller can be controlled separately, meaning that they are configured such that they can be started or stopped separately.

- The `i2s_chan_handle_t` handle type is used to uniquely identify I2S channels. All the APIs require the channel handle and users need to maintain the channel handles by themselves.

- On the ESP32-C3 and ESP32-S3, TX and RX channels in the same controller can be configured to different clocks or modes.

- However, on the ESP32 and ESP32-S2, the TX and RX channels of the same controller still share some hardware resources. Thus, configurations may cause one channel to affect another channel in the same controller.

- The channels can be registered to an available I2S controller automatically by setting `i2s_port_t::I2S_NUM_AUTO` as I2S port ID which causes the driver to search for the available TX/RX channels. However, the driver also supports registering channels to a specific port.

- In order to distinguish between TX/RX channels and sound channels, the term "channel" in the context of the I2S driver only refers to TX/RX channels. Meanwhile, sound channels are referred to as "slots".

#### I2S Mode Categorization

I2S communication modes are categorized into the following three modes. Note that:

- Standard mode: Standard mode always has two slots, it can support Philips, MSB, and PCM (short frame sync) formats. Please refer to esp_driver_i2s/include/driver/i2s_std.h for more details.

- PDM mode: PDM mode only supports two slots with 16-bit data width, but the configurations of PDM TX and PDM RX are slightly different. For PDM TX, the sample rate can be set by `i2s_pdm_tx_clk_config_t::sample_rate`, and its clock frequency depends on the up-sampling configuration. For PDM RX, the sample rate can be set by `i2s_pdm_rx_clk_config_t::sample_rate`, and its clock frequency depends on the down-sampling configuration. Please refer to esp_driver_i2s/include/driver/i2s_pdm.h for details.

- TDM mode: TDM mode can support up to 16 slots. It can work in Philips, MSB, PCM (short frame sync), and PCM (long frame sync) formats. Please refer to esp_driver_i2s/include/driver/i2s_tdm.h for details.

When allocating a new channel in a specific mode, users should initialize that channel by its corresponding function. It is strongly recommended to use the helper macros to generate the default configurations in case the default values are changed in the future.

#### Independent Slot and Clock Configuration

The slot configurations and clock configurations can be configured separately.

- Call `i2s_channel_init_std_mode()`, `i2s_channel_init_pdm_rx_mode()`, `i2s_channel_init_pdm_tx_mode()`, or `i2s_channel_init_tdm_mode()` to initialize the slot/clock/gpio_pin configurations.

- Calling `i2s_channel_reconfig_std_slot()`, `i2s_channel_reconfig_pdm_rx_slot()`, `i2s_channel_reconfig_pdm_tx_slot()`, or `i2s_channel_reconfig_tdm_slot()` can change the slot configurations after initialization.

- Calling `i2s_channel_reconfig_std_clock()`, `i2s_channel_reconfig_pdm_rx_clock()`, `i2s_channel_reconfig_pdm_tx_clock()`, or `i2s_channel_reconfig_tdm_clock()` can change the clock configurations after initialization.

- Calling `i2s_channel_reconfig_std_gpio()`, `i2s_channel_reconfig_pdm_rx_gpio()`, `i2s_channel_reconfig_pdm_tx_gpio()`, or `i2s_channel_reconfig_tdm_gpio()` can change the GPIO configurations after initialization.

#### Misc

- States and state-machine are adopted in the new I2S driver to avoid APIs called in wrong state.

- ADC and DAC modes are removed. They are only supported in their own drivers and the legacy I2S driver.

### Breaking Changes in Usage

To use the new I2S driver, please follow these steps:

1. Call `i2s_new_channel()` to acquire channel handles. We should specify the work role and I2S port in this step. Besides, the TX or RX channel handle will be generated by the driver. Inputting both two TX and RX channel handles is not necessary but at least one handle is needed. In the case of inputting both two handles, the driver will work at the duplex mode. Both TX and RX channels will be available on a same port, and they will share the MCLK, BCLK and WS signal. But if only one of the TX or RX channel handle is inputted, this channel will only work in the simplex mode.

2. Call `i2s_channel_init_std_mode()`, `i2s_channel_init_pdm_rx_mode()`, `i2s_channel_init_pdm_tx_mode()` or `i2s_channel_init_tdm_mode()` to initialize the channel to the specified mode. Corresponding slot, clock and GPIO configurations are needed in this step.

3. (Optional) Call `i2s_channel_register_event_callback()` to register the ISR event callback functions. I2S events now can be received by the callback function synchronously, instead of from the event queue asynchronously.

4. Call `i2s_channel_enable()` to start the hardware of I2S channel. In the new driver, I2S does not start automatically after installed, and users are supposed to know clearly whether the channel has started or not.

5. Read or write data by `i2s_channel_read()` or `i2s_channel_write()`. Certainly, only the RX channel handle is supposed to be inputted in `i2s_channel_read()` and the TX channel handle in `i2s_channel_write()`.

6. (Optional) The slot, clock and GPIO configurations can be changed by corresponding 'reconfig' functions, but `i2s_channel_disable()` must be called before updating the configurations.

7. Call `i2s_channel_disable()` to stop the hardware of I2S channel.

8. Call `i2s_del_channel()` to delete and release the resources of the channel if it is not needed any more, but the channel must be disabled before deleting it.

## Register Access Macros

Previously, all register access macros could be used as expressions, so the following was allowed:

    uint32_t val = REG_SET_BITS(reg, bits, mask);

In ESP-IDF v5.0, register access macros which write or read-modify-write the register can no longer be used as expressions, and can only be used as statements. This applies to the following macros: `REG_WRITE`, `REG_SET_BIT`, `REG_CLR_BIT`, `REG_SET_BITS`, `REG_SET_FIELD`, `WRITE_PERI_REG`, `CLEAR_PERI_REG_MASK`, `SET_PERI_REG_MASK`, `SET_PERI_REG_BITS`.

To store the value which would have been written into the register, split the operation as follows:

    uint32_t new_val = REG_READ(reg) | mask;
    REG_WRITE(reg, new_val);

To get the value of the register after modification (which may be different from the value written), add an explicit read:

    REG_SET_BITS(reg, bits, mask);
    uint32_t new_val = REG_READ(reg);
