Small changes to clock calibration value will cause increasing errors
the longer the device runs. Consider the case of deep sleep, assuming
that RTC counter is used for timekeeping:
- before sleep:
time_before = rtc_counter * calibration_val
- after sleep:
time_after = (rtc_counter + sleep_count) * (calibration_val + epsilon)
where 'epsilon' is a small estimation error of 'calibration_val'.
The apparent sleep duration thus will be:
time_after - time_before = sleep_count * (calibration_val + epsilon)
+ rtc_counter * epsilon
Second term on the right hand side is the error in time difference
estimation, it is proportional to the total system runtime (rtc_counter).
To avoid this issue, this change makes RTC_SLOW_CLK calibration value
persistent across restarts. This allows the calibration value update to
be preformed, while keeping time after update same as before the update.
- RTC_CNTL_SLOWCLK_FREQ define is removed; rtc_clk_slow_freq_get_hz
function can be used instead to get an approximate RTC_SLOW_CLK
frequency
- Clock calibration is performed at startup. The value is saved and used
for timekeeping and when entering deep sleep.
- When using the 32k XTAL, startup code will wait for the oscillator to
start up. This can be possibly optimized by starting a separate task
to wait for oscillator startup, and performing clock switch in that
task.
- Fix a bug that 32k XTAL would be disabled in rtc_clk_init.
- Fix a rounding error in rtc_clk_cal, which caused systematic frequency
error.
- Fix an overflow bug which caused rtc_clk_cal to timeout early if the
slow_clk_cycles argument would exceed certain value
- Improve 32k XTAL oscillator startup time by introducing bootstrapping
code, which uses internal pullup/pulldown resistors on 32K_N/32K_P
pins to set better initial conditions for the oscillator.
