The format is based on Keep a Changelog and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

Unreleased

Added

• Updated SCB.ICSR.VECTACTIVE/SCB::vect_active() to be 9 bits instead of 8. Also fixes VectActive::from to take a u16 and subtract 16 for VectActive::Interrupts to match SBC::vect_active() (#373).
• DWT: add configure API for address, cycle count comparison (#342, #367).
• ITM: add configure API (#342).
• TPIU: add API for Formatter and Flush Control (FFCR) and Selected Pin Control (SPPR) registers (#342).
• TPIU: add swo_supports for checking what SWO configurations the target supports. (#381)
• Add std and serde crate features for improved host-side ITM decode functionality when working with the downstream itm, cargo-rtic-scope crates (#363, #366).
• Added the ability to name the statics generated by singleton!() for better debuggability (#364, #380).
• Added critical-section-single-core feature which provides an implementation for the critical_section crate for single-core systems, based on disabling all interrupts. (#447)

Fixed

• Fixed singleton!() statics sometimes ending up in .data instead of .bss (#364, #380).
• interrupt::free no longer hands out a CriticalSection token because it is unsound on multi-core. Use critical_section::with instead. (#447)

Changed

• Inline assembly is now always used, requiring Rust 1.59.

Removed

• removed all peripherals ptr() functions in favor of the associated constant PTR (#385).
• removed inline-asm feature which is now always enabled

v0.7.4 - 2021-12-31

Added

• Added support for additional DWT counters (#349)
  • CPI counter
  • Exception overhead counter
  • LSU counter
  • Folded-instruction counter
• Added DWT.set_cycle_count (#347).
• Added support for the Cortex-M7 TCM and cache access control registers. There is a feature cm7 to enable access to these (#352).
• Add derives for serde, Hash, and PartialOrd to VectActive behind feature gates for host-platform use (#363).
• Support host platforms besides x86_64 (#369).
• Added delay::Delay::with_source, a constructor that lets you specify the SysTick clock source (#374).

Fixed

• Fix incorrect AIRCR PRIGROUP mask (#338, #339).
• Fix nightly users of inline-asm breaking now that the asm macro is removed from the prelude (#372).

Deprecated

• DWT::get_cycle_count has been deprecated in favor of DWT::cycle_count. This change was made for consistency with the C-GETTER convention. (#349)

v0.7.3 - 2021-07-03

Fixed

• Fixed compilation for native targets on non-x86 host systems (#336, #337).

Added

• The Delay struct now offers direct delay_us() and delay_ms() methods without having to go through the embedded-hal traits (#344).

v0.7.2 - 2021-03-07

Fixed

• Fixed a bug where calling asm::delay() with an argument of 0 or 1 would underflow, leading to a very long delay.

v0.7.1 - 2021-01-25

Added

• New assembly methods asm::semihosting_syscall, asm::bootstrap, and asm::bootload.

Deprecated

• msp::write has been deprecated in favor of asm::bootstrap. It was not possible to use msp::write without causing Undefined Behavior, so all existing users are encouraged to migrate.

Fixed

• Fixed a bug in asm::delay which could lead to incorrect codegen and infinite loops.
• Improved timing guarantees of asm::delay on multiple-issue CPU cores.
• Additional compiler fences added to inline assembly where necessary.
• Fixed DWARF debug information in pre-built assembly binaries.

v0.7.0 - 2020-11-09

Added

• New InterruptNumber trait is now required on interrupt arguments to the various NVIC functions, replacing the previous use of Nr from bare-metal. For backwards compatibility, InterruptNumber is implemented for types which are Nr + Copy, but this will be removed in a future version.
• Associated const PTR is introduced to Core Peripherals to eventually replace the existing ptr() API.
• A delay driver based on SysTick.
• You can now use LTO to inline assembly calls, even on stable Rust. See the asm/lib.rs documentation for more details.
• Initial ARMv8-M MPU support
• ICTR and ACTLR registers added
• Support for the Security Attribution Unit on ARMv8-M

Changed

• Previously, asm calls without the inline-asm feature enabled used pre-built objects which were built by a GCC compiler, while inline-asm enabled the use of llvm_asm! calls. The asm system has been replaced with a new technique which generates Rust static libs for stable calling, and uses the new asm! macro with inline-asm. See the asm/lib.rs documentation for more details.
• Cache enabling now uses an assembly sequence to ensure correctness.
• ptr() methods are now const.

Breaking Changes

• SCB::invalidate_dcache and related methods are now unsafe, see #188
• Peripherals struct is now non-exhaustive, so fields may be added in future non-breaking changes
• Removed aligned dependency
• Removed const-fn feature
• Removed previously deprecated APIs
  • NVIC::clear_pending
  • NVIC::disable
  • NVIC::enable
  • NVIC::set_pending
  • SCB::system_reset
• Removed basepri, basepri_max, and faultmask registers from thumbv8m.base

v0.6.5 - 2021-01-24

Changed

• This release is forwards-compatible with cortex-m 0.7, and depends on and re-exports many types from that version. Both 0.6.5 and 0.7 may co-exist in a build.

v0.6.4 - 2020-10-26

Changed

• MSRV bumped to 1.36.0 due to aligned dependency.

Fixed

v0.6.3 - 2020-07-20

Added

• Initial Cortex-M Security Extension support for armv8m
• UDF intrinsic
• Methods to enable/disable exceptions in SCB

Fixed

• Swapped to llvm_asm! to support inline assembly on new nightlies
• Our precompiled assembly routines have additional debug information
• ITM is_fifo_ready improved to support armv8
• Cache enabling moved to pre-built assembly routines to prevent possible undefined behaviour

v0.6.2 - 2020-01-12

Added

• Allow writing to the CONTROL register via register::control::write
• Add DWT::unlock() for a safe way to unlock the DWT

Deprecation

v0.6.1 - 2019-08-21

Fixed

• Better Debug, PartialEq and Eq for more types
• The delay function is fixed for Cortex-M0 MCUs

Added

• Static version of system_reset as system_reset2
• Now uses links = "cortex-m" to not link multiple versions of the crate

• DCB gained methods to check if debugger is attached

v0.5.8 - 2018-10-27

Added

• SCB gained methods to set, clear and check the pending state of the PendSV exception.

• SCB gained methods to set, clear and check the pending state of the SysTick exception.

• SCB gained methods to set and get the priority of system handlers like SVCall and SysTick.

• NVIC gained static methods, pend and unpend, to set and clear the pending state of interrupts.

Changed

• The NVIC.{clear,set}_pending methods have been deprecated in favor of NVIC::{unpend,pend}.

v0.5.7 - 2018-09-06

Added

• DCB::enable_trace() and DCB::disable_trace()

Changed

• iprintln! no longer depends on iprint!. cortex_m::iprintln! will work even if cortex_m::iprint has not been imported.

v0.5.6 - 2018-08-27

Fixed

• Removed duplicated symbols from binary blobs

• The check-blobs.sh script

v0.5.5 - 2018-08-27 - YANKED

Changed

• This crate no longer depends on arm-none-eabi-gcc.

v0.5.4 - 2018-08-11

Added

• A method to trigger a system reset. See SCB.system_reset.

Fixed

• Made the VTOR register (see peripheral::SCB) available on thumbv6m-none-eabi. This register is present on Cortex-M0+, but not on Cortex-M0.

• Linking with LLD by marking all external assembly functions as .thumb_func. See https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38435 for details.

v0.5.3 - 2018-08-02

Fixed

• Don't assemble basepri*.s and faultmask.s for ARMv6-M. This fix the build when using clang as the assembler.

v0.5.2 - 2018-05-18

Added

• SCB gained a pair of safe methods to set / clear the DEEPSLEEP bit.

• asm::delay, delay loops whose execution time doesn't depend on the optimization level.

v0.5.1 - 2018-05-13

Added

• An opt-in "const-fn" feature that makes Mutex.new constructor into a const fn. This feature requires a nightly toolchain.

v0.5.0 - 2018-05-11

Added

• DebugMonitor and SecureFault variants to the Exception enumeration.

• An optional "inline-asm" feature

Changed

• [breaking-change] This crate now requires arm-none-eabi-gcc to be installed and available in $PATH when built with the "inline-asm" feature disabled (which is disabled by default).

• [breaking-change] The register::{apsr,lr,pc} modules are now behind the "inline-asm" feature.

• [breaking-change] Some variants of the Exception enumeration are no longer available on thumbv6m-none-eabi. See API docs for details.

• [breaking-change] Several of the variants of the Exception enumeration have been renamed to match the CMSIS specification.

• [breaking-change] fixed typo in shcrs field of scb::RegisterBlock; it was previously named shpcrs.

• [breaking-change] removed several fields from scb::RegisterBlock on ARMv6-M. These registers are not available on that sub-architecture.

• [breaking-change] changed the type of scb::RegisterBlock.shpr from RW<u8> to RW<u32> on ARMv6-M. These registers are word accessible only on that sub-architecture.

• [breaking-change] renamed the mmar field of scb::RegisterBlock to mmfar to match the CMSIS name.

• [breaking-change] removed the iabr field from scb::RegisterBlock on ARMv6-M. This register is not available on that sub-architecture.

• [breaking-change] removed several fields from cpuid::RegisterBlock on ARMv6-M. These registers are not available on that sub-architecture.

• [breaking-change] The Mutex.new constructor is not a const fn by default. To make it a const fn you have to opt into the "const-fn" feature, which was added in v0.5.1, and switch to a nightly compiler.

Removed

• [breaking-change] The exception module has been removed. A replacement for Exception::active can be found in SCB::vect_active. A modified version exception::Exception can be found in the peripheral::scb module.

v0.4.3 - 2018-01-25

Changed

• The initial value of a singleton! no longer needs to be evaluable in const context; it can now be a value computed at runtime, or even a capture of some other local variable.

v0.4.2 - 2018-01-17

Fixed

• Added a missing Send implementation to all the peripherals.

v0.4.1 - 2018-01-16

Changed

• peripheral::Peripherals is now re-exported at the root of the crate.

v0.4.0 - 2018-01-15

Added

• Formatter and Flush Control register (FFCR) accessor to the TPIU register block.

• A singleton! macro that creates mutable reference to a statically allocated variable.

• A Cargo feature, cm7-r0p1, to work around a silicon erratum that affects writes to BASEPRI on Cortex-M7 r0p1 devices.

Changed

• [breaking-change] All peripherals are now exposed as scoped singletons and they need to be taken into scope to become accessible.

• [breaking-change] The signatures of methods exposed by peripheral proxies have changed to better match the new scoped singletons semantics.

• All the thin wrappers around assembly instructions now panic when executed on non-ARM devices.

Removed

• [breaking-change] APIs specific to ARMv7-M (peripheral::{cbp, fpb, fpu, itm, tpiu}, itm) when compiling for thumb6m-none-eabi.

v0.3.1 - 2017-07-20

Changed

• {basepri,basepri_max}::write are now compiler barriers for the same reason that interrupt::{disable,enable} are: they are used to create critical sections.

v0.3.0 - 2017-07-07

Changed

• [breaking-change] Renamed StackedRergisters to ExceptionFrame to better reflect the ARM documentation.

• [breaking-change] Renamed the variants of Exception to better match the ARM documentation.

• [breaking-change] Renamed Exception::current to Exception::active and changed the signature to return None when no exception is being serviced.

• Moved bits non specific to the Cortex-M architecture into the bare-metal crate with the goal of sharing code between this crate and crates tailored for other (microcontroller) architectures.

Removed

• [breaking-change] The ctxt module along with the exception "tokens" in the exception module. The cortex-m-rt crate v0.3.0 provides a more ergonomic mechanism to add state to interrupts / exceptions; replace your uses of Local with that.

• [breaking-change] default_handler, DEFAULT_HANDLERS and Handlers from the exception module as well as Reserved from the root of the crate. cortex-m-rt v0.3.0 provides a mechanism to override exceptions and the default exception handler. Change your use of these Handlers and others to that.

Fixed

• interrupt::{enable,disable} are now compiler barriers. The compiler should not reorder code around these function calls for memory safety; that is the case now.

v0.2.11 - 2017-06-16

Added

• An API to maintain the different caches (DCache, ICache) on Cortex M7 devices.

Fixed

• the definition of the ehprint! macro.
• the implementation of the FPU API.

v0.2.10 - 2017-06-05

Added

• Functions for the instructions DMB, ISB and DSB

Changed

• All the functions in the asm module are now inline(always)

v0.2.9 - 2017-05-30

Fixed

• A bug in itm::write_all where it would ignore the length of the buffer and serialize contents that come after the buffer.

v0.2.8 - 2017-05-30 - YANKED

Added

• An itm::write_aligned function to write 4 byte aligned buffers to an ITM port. This function is faster than itm::write_all for small buffers but requires the buffer to be aligned.

v0.2.7 - 2017-05-23

Added

• Dwt.enable_cycle_counter

v0.2.6 - 2017-05-08

Fixed

• [breaking-change]. MEMORY UNSAFETY. Mutex could be used as a channel to send interrupt tokens from one interrupt to other thus breaking the context Local abstraction. See reproduction case below. This has been fixed by making Mutex Sync only if the protected data is Send.

};

v0.2.5 - 2017-05-07 - YANKED

Added

• Higher level API for the SysTick and FPU peripherals

Fixed

• [breaking-change]. MEMORY UNSAFETY. interrupt::enable was safe to call inside an interrupt::free critical section thus breaking the preemption protection. The interrupt::enable method is now unsafe.

v0.2.4 - 2017-04-20 - YANKED

Fixed

• [breaking-change]. MEMORY UNSAFETY. interrupt::free leaked the critical section making it possible to access a Mutex when interrupts are enabled (see below). This has been fixed by changing the signature of interrupt::free.

static FOO: Mutex<bool> = Mutex::new(false);

fn main() {
    let cs = cortex_m::interrupt::free(|cs| cs);
    // interrupts are enabled at this point
    let foo = FOO.borrow(&cs);
}

v0.2.3 - 2017-04-11 - YANKED

Fixed

• [breaking-change]. MEMORY UNSAFETY. Some concurrency models that use "partial" critical sections (cf. BASEPRI) can be broken by changing the priority of interrupts or by changing BASEPRI in some scenarios. For this reason NVIC.set_priority and register::basepri::write are now unsafe.

v0.2.2 - 2017-04-08 - YANKED

Fixed

• [breaking-change]. MEMORY UNSAFETY. The Mutex.borrow_mut method has been removed as it can be used to bypass Rust's borrow checker and get, for example, two mutable references to the same data.

static FOO: Mutex<bool> = Mutex::new(false);

fn main() {
    cortex_m::interrupt::free(|mut cs1| {
        cortex_m::interrupt::free(|mut cs2| {
            let foo: &mut bool = FOO.borrow_mut(&mut cs1);
            let and_foo: &mut bool = FOO.borrow_mut(&mut cs2);
        });
    });
}

v0.2.1 - 2017-03-12 - YANKED

Changed

• The default exception handler now identifies the exception that's being serviced.

v0.2.0 - 2017-03-11 - YANKED

Added

• Semihosting functionality in the semihosting module.

• exception::Handlers struct that represent the section of the vector table that contains the exception handlers.

• A default exception handler

• A high level API for the NVIC peripheral.

• Context local data.

• borrow/borrow_mut methods to Mutex that replace lock.

• API and macros to send bytes / (formatted) strings through ITM

Changed

• [breaking-change] StackFrame has been renamed to StackedRegisters and moved into the exceptions module.

• [breaking-change] Core peripherals can now be modified via a &- reference and are no longer Sync.

• [breaking-change] interrupt::free's closure now includes a critical section token, CriticalSection.

• [breaking-change] the core register API has been revamped for type safety.

• The safety of assembly wrappers like wfi and interrupt::free has been reviewed. In many cases, the functions are no longer unsafe.

• [breaking-change] bkpt! has been turned into a function. It no longer accepts an immediate value.

Removed

• vector_table and its associated struct, VectorTable. It's not a good idea to give people a simple way to call the exception handlers.

• Mutex's lock method as it's unsound. You could use it to get multiple &mut - references to the wrapped data.

v0.1.6 - 2017-01-22

Added

• Exception a enumeration of the kind of exceptions the processor can service. There's also a Exception::current constructor that returns the Exception that's currently being serviced.

v0.1.5

Added

• interrupt::Mutex, a "mutex" based on critical sections.

Changed

• The closure that interrupt::free takes can now return a value.

v0.1.4

Added

• asm::nop, a wrapper over the NOP instruction

v0.1.3

Added

• a StackFrame data structure

v0.1.2 - 2016-10-04

Fixed

• Read/write Operations on registers (lr, cr, msp, etc.) which were reversed.

v0.1.1 - 2016-10-03 - YANKED

Changed

• Small, non user visible change to make this crate compile further for $HOST (e.g. x86_64) with the goal of making it possible to test, on the HOST, downstream crates that depend on this one.

v0.1.0 - 2016-09-27 - YANKED

Added

• Functions to access core peripherals like NVIC, SCB and SysTick.
• Functions to access core registers like CONTROL, MSP and PSR.
• Functions to enable/disable interrupts
• Functions to get the vector table
• Wrappers over miscellaneous instructions like bkpt
