+# 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) {
+ // ..
+ }
+};
+```
