description	Use when migrating ESP Board Manager board definitions or application code from legacy dev_lcd_touch_i2c / type lcd_touch_i2c to generic dev_lcd_touch with type lcd_touch and sub_type i2c, including YAML field mapping, setup_device.c touch factory updates, and compatibility checks.

LCD Touch I2C Migration

Use this skill to migrate ESP Board Manager configurations from legacy lcd_touch_i2c to generic lcd_touch with sub_type: i2c.

As of ESP Board Manager 0.6.0 the legacy dev_lcd_touch_i2c device is removed: its implementation, parser, dev_lcd_touch_i2c.h header, the dev_lcd_touch_i2c_* types, and the CONFIG_ESP_BOARD_DEV_LCD_TOUCH_I2C_SUPPORT compatibility symbol no longer exist. Migration is mandatory — there is no in-tree legacy type or fallback macro to keep.

Migration Goals

• Board YAML uses type: lcd_touch and sub_type: i2c.
• I2C address candidates live at device root peripherals[].i2c_addr.
• config.io_i2c_config.dev_addr and nested config.io_i2c_config.peripherals are removed.
• APP code uses dev_lcd_touch_config_t / dev_lcd_touch_handles_t, not legacy dev_lcd_touch_i2c_* types.
• APP code uses CONFIG_ESP_BOARD_DEV_LCD_TOUCH_SUPPORT plus CONFIG_ESP_BOARD_DEV_LCD_TOUCH_SUB_I2C_SUPPORT for migrated I2C touch feature checks. Do not introduce or keep legacy CONFIG_ESP_BOARD_DEV_LCD_TOUCH_I2C_SUPPORT checks in migrated code.

Before Editing

1. Inspect the target board files:
   • board_devices.yaml
   • board_peripherals.yaml
   • optional setup_device.c
   • application files that include dev_lcd_touch_i2c.h or use dev_lcd_touch_i2c_*
2. Search:
   • type: lcd_touch_i2c
   • dev_lcd_touch_i2c
   • CONFIG_ESP_BOARD_DEV_LCD_TOUCH_I2C_SUPPORT
   • ESP_BOARD_DEV_LCD_TOUCH_I2C_SUPPORT
3. Preserve user edits and unrelated board content.

YAML Mapping

Old:

- name: lcd_touch
  type: lcd_touch_i2c
  config:
    io_i2c_config:
      dev_addr: 0x15
      peripherals:
        - name: i2c_master
    touch_config: {}

New:

- name: lcd_touch
  type: lcd_touch
  sub_type: i2c
  config:
    io_i2c_config: {}
    touch_config: {}
  peripherals:
    - name: i2c_master
      i2c_addr: 0x2a

Rules:

• Change type: lcd_touch_i2c to type: lcd_touch.
• Add sub_type: i2c.
• Move nested I2C peripheral entries from config.io_i2c_config.peripherals to root-level device peripherals.
• Move config.io_i2c_config.dev_addr to root-level peripherals[].i2c_addr.
• Remove dev_addr from config.io_i2c_config.
• Keep chip, dependencies, config.touch_config, and other config.io_i2c_config fields.
• If old dev_addr was a list, migrate it to i2c_addr list.
• If the old address appears to be 7-bit, convert it to 8-bit left-shifted form. Examples: 0x15 -> 0x2a, 0x24 -> 0x48, 0x5d -> 0xba.
• New i2c_addr must be 8-bit left-shifted, even, and no larger than 0xfe.

setup_device.c Rules

The factory signature remains:

esp_err_t lcd_touch_factory_entry_t(esp_lcd_panel_io_handle_t io,
                                    const esp_lcd_touch_config_t *touch_dev_config,
                                    esp_lcd_touch_handle_t *ret_touch)

If the board chooses a touch driver based on detected address:

• Include esp_board_device.h.
• Call esp_board_device_get_i2c_effective_addr("<touch_device_name>", &touch_addr).
• Compare against 8-bit left-shifted addresses from YAML.
• Do not read old dev_lcd_touch_i2c_config_t fields to decide the chip.

Example:

uint16_t touch_addr = 0;
esp_err_t ret = esp_board_device_get_i2c_effective_addr("lcd_touch", &touch_addr);
if (ret != ESP_OK) {
    return ret;
}
if (touch_addr == 0xba) {
    return esp_lcd_touch_new_i2c_gt911(io, touch_dev_config, ret_touch);
}

Application Compatibility Checks

Legacy code may still reference this old feature switch (removed in 0.6.0, so it now always evaluates to false / undefined):

#if CONFIG_ESP_BOARD_DEV_LCD_TOUCH_I2C_SUPPORT

Treat it as a migration target. Replace it in migrated code with the new generic device and sub-type checks:

#if CONFIG_ESP_BOARD_DEV_LCD_TOUCH_SUPPORT && CONFIG_ESP_BOARD_DEV_LCD_TOUCH_SUB_I2C_SUPPORT

Flag and migrate code that:

• Includes dev_lcd_touch_i2c.h for a board that now uses lcd_touch.
• Casts handles to dev_lcd_touch_i2c_handles_t.
• Casts configs to dev_lcd_touch_i2c_config_t.
• Reads old fields such as i2c_name, i2c_addr, or io_i2c_config.dev_addr through a legacy config struct.
• Uses CONFIG_ESP_BOARD_DEV_LCD_TOUCH_I2C_SUPPORT or ESP_BOARD_DEV_LCD_TOUCH_I2C_SUPPORT in migrated application code.

Use:

dev_lcd_touch_handles_t
dev_lcd_touch_config_t

Migration patterns:

• Replace #include "dev_lcd_touch_i2c.h" with #include "dev_lcd_touch.h" for migrated boards.
• Replace dev_lcd_touch_i2c_handles_t *touch = (dev_lcd_touch_i2c_handles_t *)touch_handle; with dev_lcd_touch_handles_t *touch = (dev_lcd_touch_handles_t *)touch_handle;.
• Replace dev_lcd_touch_i2c_config_t *cfg with dev_lcd_touch_config_t *cfg.
• Map old config fields:
  • cfg->i2c_name -> cfg->sub_cfg.i2c.i2c_name
  • cfg->i2c_addr -> cfg->sub_cfg.i2c.i2c_addr
  • address count -> cfg->sub_cfg.i2c.i2c_addr_count
• Do not use cfg->io_i2c_config.dev_addr to identify the active chip; call esp_board_device_get_i2c_effective_addr("<touch_device_name>", &addr) and compare 8-bit addresses.
• Do not add a CONFIG_ESP_BOARD_DEV_LCD_TOUCH_I2C_SUPPORT fallback branch: the symbol is removed in 0.6.0 and would never be defined. Guard touch code with CONFIG_ESP_BOARD_DEV_LCD_TOUCH_SUPPORT (plus CONFIG_ESP_BOARD_DEV_LCD_TOUCH_SUB_I2C_SUPPORT for the I2C sub-type) only.

Migrate every board and application off type: lcd_touch_i2c: the legacy type is removed in 0.6.0 and can no longer be kept.

Validation

After migration:

1. Run Board Manager generation for the board:
   • idf.py bmgr -b <board>
   • or python3 gen_bmgr_config_codes.py -b <board> from the test app context.
2. Confirm no board YAML still uses type: lcd_touch_i2c. The legacy type is removed in 0.6.0, so any remaining legacy YAML makes generation fail with an unknown/unsupported device type error (no deprecation warning).
3. Confirm components/gen_bmgr_codes/board_manager.defaults has:
   • CONFIG_ESP_BOARD_DEV_LCD_TOUCH_SUPPORT=y
   • CONFIG_ESP_BOARD_DEV_LCD_TOUCH_SUB_I2C_SUPPORT=y
4. Confirm migrated application code does not use CONFIG_ESP_BOARD_DEV_LCD_TOUCH_I2C_SUPPORT or legacy dev_lcd_touch_i2c_* types.
5. Build if an ESP-IDF environment is available.
6. Confirm no code references the removed dev_lcd_touch_i2c.h header or dev_lcd_touch_i2c_* types; such references now fail to compile rather than emitting a deprecation warning.
