# Migrating from v0.4.x to v0.5.0 This section covers how to upgrade an application written against RTIC v0.4.x to the version v0.5.0 of the framework. ## `Cargo.toml` First, the version of the `cortex-m-rtic` dependency needs to be updated to `"0.5.0"`. The `timer-queue` feature needs to be removed. ``` toml [dependencies.cortex-m-rtic] # change this version = "0.4.3" # into this version = "0.5.0" # and remove this Cargo feature features = ["timer-queue"] # ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ``` ## `Context` argument All functions inside the `#[rtic::app]` item need to take as first argument a `Context` structure. This `Context` type will contain the variables that were magically injected into the scope of the function by version v0.4.x of the framework: `resources`, `spawn`, `schedule` -- these variables will become fields of the `Context` structure. Each function within the `#[rtic::app]` item gets a different `Context` type. ``` rust #[rtic::app(/* .. */)] const APP: () = { // change this #[task(resources = [x], spawn = [a], schedule = [b])] fn foo() { resources.x.lock(|x| /* .. */); spawn.a(message); schedule.b(baseline); } // into this #[task(resources = [x], spawn = [a], schedule = [b])] fn foo(mut cx: foo::Context) { // ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ cx.resources.x.lock(|x| /* .. */); // ^^^ cx.spawn.a(message); // ^^^ cx.schedule.b(message, baseline); // ^^^ } // change this #[init] fn init() { // .. } // into this #[init] fn init(cx: init::Context) { // ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ // .. } // .. }; ``` ## Resources The syntax used to declare resources has been changed from `static mut` variables to a `struct Resources`. ``` rust #[rtic::app(/* .. */)] const APP: () = { // change this static mut X: u32 = 0; static mut Y: u32 = (); // late resource // into this struct Resources { #[init(0)] // <- initial value X: u32, // NOTE: we suggest changing the naming style to `snake_case` Y: u32, // late resource } // .. }; ``` ## Device peripherals If your application was accessing the device peripherals in `#[init]` through the `device` variable then you'll need to add `peripherals = true` to the `#[rtic::app]` attribute to continue to access the device peripherals through the `device` field of the `init::Context` structure. Change this: ``` rust #[rtic::app(/* .. */)] const APP: () = { #[init] fn init() { device.SOME_PERIPHERAL.write(something); } // .. }; ``` Into this: ``` rust #[rtic::app(/* .. */, peripherals = true)] // ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ const APP: () = { #[init] fn init(cx: init::Context) { // ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ cx.device.SOME_PERIPHERAL.write(something); // ^^^ } // .. }; ``` ## `#[interrupt]` and `#[exception]` The `#[interrupt]` and `#[exception]` attributes have been removed. To declare hardware tasks in v0.5.x use the `#[task]` attribute with the `binds` argument. Change this: ``` rust #[rtic::app(/* .. */)] const APP: () = { // hardware tasks #[exception] fn SVCall() { /* .. */ } #[interrupt] fn UART0() { /* .. */ } // software task #[task] fn foo() { /* .. */ } // .. }; ``` Into this: ``` rust #[rtic::app(/* .. */)] const APP: () = { #[task(binds = SVCall)] // ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ fn svcall(cx: svcall::Context) { /* .. */ } // ^^^^^^ we suggest you use a `snake_case` name here #[task(binds = UART0)] // ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ fn uart0(cx: uart0::Context) { /* .. */ } #[task] fn foo(cx: foo::Context) { /* .. */ } // .. }; ``` ## `schedule` The `schedule` API no longer requires the `timer-queue` cargo feature, which has been removed. To use the `schedule` API one must first define the monotonic timer the runtime will use using the `monotonic` argument of the `#[rtic::app]` attribute. To continue using the cycle counter (CYCCNT) as the monotonic timer, and match the behavior of version v0.4.x, add the `monotonic = rtic::cyccnt::CYCCNT` argument to the `#[rtic::app]` attribute. Also, the `Duration` and `Instant` types and the `U32Ext` trait have been moved into the `rtic::cyccnt` module. This module is only available on ARMv7-M+ devices. The removal of the `timer-queue` also brings back the `DWT` peripheral inside the core peripherals struct, this will need to be enabled by the application inside `init`. Change this: ``` rust use rtic::{Duration, Instant, U32Ext}; #[rtic::app(/* .. */)] const APP: () = { #[task(schedule = [b])] fn a() { // .. } }; ``` Into this: ``` rust use rtic::cyccnt::{Duration, Instant, U32Ext}; // ^^^^^^^^ #[rtic::app(/* .. */, monotonic = rtic::cyccnt::CYCCNT)] // ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ const APP: () = { #[init] fn init(cx: init::Context) { cx.core.DWT.enable_cycle_counter(); // optional, configure the DWT run without a debugger connected cx.core.DCB.enable_trace(); } #[task(schedule = [b])] fn a(cx: a::Context) { // .. } }; ```
