ULP WAKE function and Main CPU interruptions

Postby Palonso » Tue Sep 15, 2020 9:32 pm

Hi,

I'm looking forward to use the RTC_CNTL_ULP_CP_INT_ENA register bit in order to notify the main CPU (interruption) that "a reading" with the ULP was successfully made.

As far as I understood is that the mentioned flag goes HIGH when the WAKE function is called in the ULP core, in the pulse counter example that worked perfectly when the module is asleep but when I tried to configure it to work while active I wasn't able to even "get" the interruption.

Since the WAKE command worked fine asleep I guess the problem is in the main program, here it is:

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>
#include "esp_sleep.h"
#include "nvs.h"
#include "nvs_flash.h"
#include "soc/rtc_cntl_reg.h"

#include "soc/rtc_periph.h"
#include "driver/gpio.h"
#include "driver/rtc_io.h"
#include "esp32/ulp.h"
#include "ulp_main.h"
#include "freertos/FreeRTOS.h"
#include "freertos/task.h"
#include "driver/rtc_cntl.h"

// GPIO used for pulse counting.
#define IN0 GPIO_NUM_36

    REG_SET_BIT(RTC_CNTL_INT_ENA_REG, RTC_CNTL_ULP_CP_INT_ENA_M);
}

The program is a slightly modified version of the single pin ULP pulse counter example, with the difference that it counts in two input pins, so most the code is the same as in the example.

What I added are a couple functions ulp_isr_handler and ulp_isr_install that should configure the interruption when the RTC_CNTL_ULP_CP_INT_ENA_M changes but when I try to run it, it does nothing.
I'm doubting the function: rtc_isr_register which I found in an old post of this forum but it's no longer available in the espressif docs (https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... ea=default)

Does anybody know how to attach/create an interrupt with that register? or what's the new function to do that?

I also read the "interrupt allocation" page (https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... alloc.html) with no success since there is no reference to a ULP interruption.

Best regards,
P

You're using the wrong mask here:

Code: Select all

ESP_ERROR_CHECK( rtc_isr_register(&ulp_isr_handler, NULL, RTC_CNTL_ULP_CP_INT_ENA_M) );
You want RTC_CNTL_SAR_INT_ST_M
See:

Thanks for noticing that mistake and sharing that example, it was a BIG help. Also I was able to change it to TaskNotification to make ti faster too.

Best regards,

Hi Paulo

Were you able to compile your code and use it for 2 counters in the ULP co-processor on the ESP32?

Can you make the code available if possible?

Regards
