Zephyr 4.4.0 ############

We are pleased to announce the release of Zephyr version 4.4.0.

Major enhancements with this release include:

OpenRISC support Zephyr now supports the :zephyr:board-catalog:OpenRISC architecture <#arch=openrisc>.

Toolchain updates: Zephyr SDK 1.0 and C17 Zephyr 4.4 is the first release to support :ref:Zephyr SDK 1.0 <toolchain_zephyr_sdk>, with an upgraded GNU toolchain, experimental Clang/LLVM support, and multi-platform QEMU and OpenOCD host tools.

Zephyr now defaults to C17 as its minimum required C standard version.

Networking enhancements The Wi-Fi management stack now supports :ref:wifi_mgmt_p2p, allowing devices to discover and connect directly without a traditional access point.

The networking stack also adds support for :zephyr:code-sample:WireGuard VPN <wireguard-vpn>, enabling secure, low-overhead tunneling.

USB host Experimental USB host support has been significantly expanded with a new host-class driver framework and support for :abbr:UVC (USB Video Class) cameras on Zephyr devices acting as USB hosts.

New driver classes Zephyr 4.4 adds several new driver APIs, including:

  • :ref:One-Time Programmable (OTP) memory devices <otp> for provisioning and reading permanent device data,

  • A :ref:biometrics API <biometrics_api> for integrating biometric sensors such as fingerprint scanners or facial recognition systems, and

  • A :ref:Wake-up Controller (WUC) API <wuc_api> for managing wake-up sources that can bring the system out of low-power states.

Zbus async listeners and proxy agents Zbus async listeners enable non-blocking observer callbacks via workqueues.

:ref:Zbus proxy agents <zbus_proxy_agent> extend publish-subscribe messaging across CPU and domain boundaries over IPC.

Pressure-based CPU frequency scaling The experimental :ref:CPU frequency scaling <cpu_freq> subsystem now includes a :ref:pressure-based policy <pressure_policy> that adjusts CPU frequency according to scheduler load.

ARM Cortex-M context switching performance improvements A new context switch implementation for ARM Cortex-M, enabled via :kconfig:option:CONFIG_USE_SWITCH, delivers significant performance improvements.

NAND flash support A new Flash Translation Layer (FTL) disk driver (:dtcompatible:zephyr,ftl-dhara) provides wear leveling and bad block management and enables NAND flash memories to be utilized as standard disk devices.

Developer experience improvements This release adds several new tools and improvements to development and testing workflows:

  • A new :ref:dashboard <dashboard> consolidates build information such as RAM and ROM footprint, Devicetree configuration, subsystem initialization levels, and more in a single report.

  • A new display driver for QEMU targets simplifies development of display-based applications in environments where the native simulator is unavailable.

  • A new heap hardening mechanism (:kconfig:option:CONFIG_SYS_HEAP_HARDENING) provides multiple levels of runtime protection against heap corruption.

  • New :ref:scope-based cleanup helpers <cleanup_api> provide :abbr:RAII (Resource Acquisition Is Initialization)/defer-style automatic cleanup in C when leaving scope.

  • The new :ref:ztest benchmarking framework <ztest_benchmarking> provides a standardized way to create cycle-accurate benchmarks, with automated data collection, overhead compensation, and statistical reporting.

Expanded board support This release adds support for 121 :ref:new boards <boards_added_in_zephyr_4_4> and 31 :ref:new shields <shields_added_in_zephyr_4_4>.

An overview of the changes required or recommended when migrating your application from Zephyr v4.3.0 to Zephyr v4.4.0 can be found in the separate :ref:migration guide<migration_4.4>.

The following sections provide detailed lists of changes by component.

Devicetree


  • Migration guide: :ref:migration_4.4_devicetree

  • New macros for reg property iteration (:github:104223)

    • :c:macro:DT_FOREACH_REG
    • :c:macro:DT_FOREACH_REG_SEP
    • :c:macro:DT_FOREACH_REG_VARGS
    • :c:macro:DT_FOREACH_REG_SEP_VARGS
    • Instance number based variants of each, e.g. :c:macro:DT_INST_FOREACH_REG
  • Definitions for *-map related properties (:github:87595) provide first-class support for nexus nodes and specifier mappings. See Devicetree Specification v0.4 section 2.5 for more details on these properties.

  • New :dtcompatible:zephyr,mapped-partition binding and associated APIs for memory-mapped flash partitions. This is a successor to the existing :dtcompatible:fixed-partitions binding

  • Bindings are no longer allowed to specify any default values for the status, #address-cells and #size-cells properties.

  • :c:macro:DT_CHILD_BY_UNIT_ADDR_INT

  • :c:macro:DT_INST_CHILD_BY_UNIT_ADDR_INT

Kconfig


  • Added new preprocessor function dt_highest_controller_irq_number (:github:104819)

Kernel


  • Dropped CONFIG_SCHED_DUMB and CONFIG_WAITQ_DUMB options which were deprecated in Zephyr 4.2.0

  • Added tiered heap hardening with :kconfig:option:CONFIG_SYS_HEAP_HARDENING (Basic, Moderate, Full, Extreme) providing progressive levels of runtime corruption detection for :c:func:sys_heap_alloc and :c:func:sys_heap_free, including double-free detection, neighbor consistency checks, and optional per-chunk canaries (:github:104999).

  • :ref:cleanup_api

    • :c:macro:SCOPE_VAR_DEFINE
    • :c:macro:SCOPE_GUARD_DEFINE
    • :c:macro:SCOPE_DEFER_DEFINE
    • :c:macro:scope_var
    • :c:macro:scope_var_init
    • :c:macro:scope_guard
    • :c:macro:scope_defer

Libraries / Subsystems


  • LoRa/LoRaWAN

    • :c:func:lora_airtime
    • Added Channel Activity Detection (CAD) support to the LoRa API: :c:func:lora_cad, :c:func:lora_cad_async. CAD parameters and LBT mode are configured via :c:struct:lora_modem_config.
    • Added :c:func:lora_recv_duty_cycle for hardware-driven wake-on-radio (RX duty cycling).
  • Mbed TLS

  • Zbus

    • Added async listener support. Async listeners execute in a workqueue context instead of the publisher's thread, enabling non-blocking operations without requiring a dedicated subscriber thread.
    • Added :zephyr:code-sample:zbus-async-listeners.
    • Added experimental proxy-agent communication with IPC backend support for forwarding channel data across domains.
    • Added :zephyr:code-sample:zbus-proxy-agent-ipc.
    • Added the :c:func:zbus_chan_from_name function. Retrieve a zbus channel from its name string.
    • Added the :c:func:zbus_async_listener_set_work_queue function. Set the work queue for an async listener.
    • Added the :c:func:zbus_chan_pub_stats_msg_age function. Get the message age in milliseconds since the last publish.
    • Clarified observer priority documentation and fixed spelling and grammar.
    • Updated observer types image in documentation.
    • Filtered out tests that are not SMP aware.

Other notable changes


.. Any more descriptive subsystem or driver changes. Do you really want to write a paragraph or is it enough to link to the api/driver/Kconfig/board page above?
