Documentation for release IDF v5.0 is available at https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/v5.0/

ESP-IDF v5.0 is a major update for ESP-IDF v4.x. Release v5.0 is mostly compatible with apps written for ESP-IDF v4.x, but there are some breaking changes (please consult the list below) and removal of deprecated functionality which will require code changes when updating projects. Release v5.0 is the latest stable release at the time of writing.

We highly recommend referring to our migration guide while moving your apps from ESP-IDF v4.4 to v5.0 release.

Obtaining v5.0

For full installation instructions, see the ESP-IDF Programming Guide.

The source files attached to this release will not work due to our use of git submodules. Use one of the following methods instead:

Using git

To get this release, use the following commands:

git clone -b v5.0 --recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf.git esp-idf-v5.0
cd esp-idf-v5.0/

This is the recommended way of obtaining v5.0 of ESP-IDF.

Download an archive with submodules included

Attached to this release is an esp-idf-v5.0.zip archive. It includes .git directory and all the submodules, so can be used out of the box. This archive is provided for users who have connectivity issues preventing them from cloning from GitHub.

This archive can also be downloaded from Espressif's download server:

• Updated chip revision print format in compliance with AR2022-005

Breaking Changes

External Libraries

• ASIO: Internal ASIO component and ASIO examples were migrated from IDF to https://github.com/espressif/esp-protocols/components/asio

Bluetooth

• Bluedroid: Changed API parameter for esp_bt_hf_init & esp_bt_hf_deinit
• Bluedroid: Renamed some macros/types/functions typos (see Bluetooth migration notes)
• NimBLE: Now esp_nimble_hci_and_controller_init is not accepted any more, just use nimble_port_init is ok, consistent with native nimble operations.

Build System

• driver component is not included by target components anymore. Applications using driver shall now explicitly require it in their CMakeLists.txt file
• efuse component is not included by target components anymore. Applications using efuse shall now explicitly require it in their CMakeLists.txt file
• Removed COMPILER_DISABLE_GCC8_WARNINGS option
• The "make" build system was deprecated in v4.0 in favor of idf.py (cmake). The remaining support is removed in v5.0.
• Adding non-existent directories to COMPONENT_DIRS or EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRS is no longer supported and will result in an error.
• Kconfig option CONFIG_SDK_TOOLCHAIN_SUPPORTS_TIME_WIDE_64_BITS has been removed. The size of time_t type in the toolchain is determined automatically now. See "System Time" chapter of API reference for more information on 64/32-bit time_t support.
• Components which use esp_timer must add esp_timer to the requirements when calling idf_component_register
• Components which use lwip, vfs, esp_wifi, esp_event, esp_netif, esp_eth must add add these dependencies to the requirements list when calling idf_component_register.
• Removed Kconfig option SDK_TOOLPREFIX. Now the toolchain prefix can be fetched by CMake variable _CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX
• Removed the target components (e.g. esp32), it is no longer necessary to require this component in any CMakeLists.txt
• It is now necessary to specify PRIVATE, PUBLIC or INTERFACE in target_link_libraries calls to project_elf instead of leaving the default behavior
• Using CMake versions lower than 3.16 is not supported anymore. Run "tools/idf_tools.py install cmake" to install a suitable version if your OS versions doesn't have one.
• Format string warnings (-Wformat) are now enabled for Xtensa and RISC-V targets. This will result in warnings whenever uint32_t values are formatted using %u or %d format specifiers. The reason is that int32_t type is defined as long which was int in a past. The same is for uint32_t. To fix the warnings, do either one of the following: 1) Use PRIx32 specifier from inttypes.h instead of d or u. 2) Cast the values being formatted to unsigned int. 3) (Not recommended) add -Wno-format compiler flag to the files where this warning occurs using set_source_files_properties CMake function.

Networking

• Ethernet: Updated internal EMAC's API esp_eth_mac_new_esp32() to pass two configuration parameters: One general driver's config of eth_mac_config_t type and the other one describes vendor specific options (eth_esp32_emac_t type), such as SMI IO, interface or clock.
• Ethernet: SPI Ethernet modules initialization changed
