+The UART implementation of VFS operators has been moved from `vfs` component to `esp_driver_uart` component.
+
+APIs with `esp_vfs_dev_uart_` prefix are all deprecated, replaced with new APIs in `uart_vfs.h` starting with `uart_vfs_dev_` prefix. Specifically,
+- ``esp_vfs_dev_uart_register`` has been renamed to ``uart_vfs_dev_register``
+- ``esp_vfs_dev_uart_port_set_rx_line_endings`` has been renamed to ``uart_vfs_dev_port_set_rx_line_endings``
+- ``esp_vfs_dev_uart_port_set_tx_line_endings`` has been renamed to ``uart_vfs_dev_port_set_tx_line_endings``
+- ``esp_vfs_dev_uart_use_nonblocking`` has been renamed to ``uart_vfs_dev_use_nonblocking``
+- ``esp_vfs_dev_uart_use_driver`` has been renamed to ``uart_vfs_dev_use_driver``
+
+For compatibility, `vfs` component still registers `esp_driver_uart` as its private dependency. In other words, you do not need to modify the CMake file of an existing project.

+VFS

+
+VFS 操作符的 UART 具体实现函数从 `vfs` 组件挪到了 `esp_driver_uart` 组件中。
+
+所有以 `esp_vfs_dev_uart_` 前缀开头的 API 已被弃用, 更新成在 `uart_vfs.h` 文件中定义的以 `uart_vfs_dev_` 为前缀的一组 API。具体来说，
+- ``esp_vfs_dev_uart_register`` 更名为 ``uart_vfs_dev_register``
+- ``esp_vfs_dev_uart_port_set_rx_line_endings`` 更名为 ``uart_vfs_dev_port_set_rx_line_endings``
+- ``esp_vfs_dev_uart_port_set_tx_line_endings`` 更名为 ``uart_vfs_dev_port_set_tx_line_endings``
+- ``esp_vfs_dev_uart_use_nonblocking`` 更名为 ``uart_vfs_dev_use_nonblocking``
+- ``esp_vfs_dev_uart_use_driver`` 更名为 ``uart_vfs_dev_use_driver``
+
+为了兼容性，`vfs` 组件依旧将 `esp_driver_uart` 注册成了其私有依赖。换句话说，你无需修改既有项目的 CMake 文件。
