Major changes

This is the list of changes since release v4.3.3:

Major Bug Fixes

• efuse (ESP32): Fixed burn operation when data was written directly to regs. This was regression from v4.3.3 release and it was causing secure boot workflow to fail. Please see #9290 and #9333 for more details.

Breaking Changes

• esp_crt_bundle: "esp_crt_bundle_set" API now has additional argument bundle_size and now returns esp_err_t.

Changelog

This is the list of changes since release v4.3.3.

Bluetooth

Controller

Added

• Added UHCI example to ESP32-C3, used for Bluetooth Controller only mode through HCI UART transport
• Added support to use main crystal as Bluetooth sleep clock to be used in SoC light sleep on ESP32-C3
• Power down Bluetooth module upon de-initializaing Bluetooth controller for ESP32-C3 and ESP32-S3

Changed

• Initialize all elements of esp_bt_controller_config_t. (#9073)

Fixed

• Fixed that functions used in light sleep wake-up procedure are not put in IRAM, which causes RTC watchdog timeout on ESP32-C3
• Fixed that FreeRTOS semaphores and queues used by Bluetooth Controller are created in SPIRAM, which causes software crash when handling ISRs
• Fixed missing in processing VHCI interrupt caused by lack of protection against race conditions in accessing VHCI environment variables on ESP32

• Fixed the issue of Bluetooth disconnection due to not backing up Bluetooth AGC related registers when light sleep is enabled and baseband power down on ESP32-C3 and ESP32-S3

Bluetooth Low Energy

Added

• Add description for de-initialize bt controller API

Fixed

• Fixed BLE got disconnected when when modem sleep is disabled and Bluetooth is initialized after Wi-Fi on ESP32-C3 and ESP32-S3
• Fixed BLE ke_mem.c assert on ESP32
• Fixed BLE ke_mem.c assert on ESP32-C3

Classic Bluetooth

Fixed

• Fixed the issue during legacy pairing procedure that controller does not report link key to Host on ESP32
• Fixed the task watchdog issue during controller initialization due to invalid hardware state after system reset on ESP32-C3
• Fixed the assertion in function em_bt_clkoff1_setf when clock overflow happened, the overflow can be safely ignored
• Allow max supported feature page lower than current feature page when handle with the respond of extend features to support for some devices which generate wrongly LMP respond.
• Fixed the EDR mode wrongly cleared by a successful role switch which caused that the 2M/3M package type can not be selected for use.
• Fixed the crash in accessing bt_util_buf_env buffer list due to lack of protection against race condition when operating on the linked list in context of both task and interrupt service routine

Bluedroid

Added

• Added new OSI utility "osi_event" to avoid duplicated message posting and thus reducing the workqueue size for HCI thread.
• Added new OSI utilities "pkt_queue" and "fixed_pkt_queue" to for data buffer management and reduce the frequent allocation/free of small memory fragments compared with previous "fixed_queue".

Changed

• Modified the implementation of the workqueue of osi_thread using freeRTOS queue instead of fixed_queue, to reduce the use of system heap, and thus becoming more robust against memory allocation failure, and achieving better execution performance, with an increase of memory footprint by about 1600 Bytes during Bluedroid inititalization.

Fixed

• Fixed the linker error of functions not defined when memory debug is enabled

Classic Bluetooth

Added

• Added Bluetooth device address field in the parameter structure of ESP_BT_GAP_READ_REMOTE_NAME_EVT callback event

• A2DP: Fixed A2DP sink example that audio playback is clogged due to higher priority of application task in case of heavy workload from the task
• Fixed the default sdkconfig file for HFP examples that causes failure of 'connect audio' operation
