Deep Sleep Example

(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)

The deep sleep mode of the ESP32 is a power saving mode that causes the CPU, majority of RAM, and digital peripherals that are clocked from APB_CLK to be powered off. Deep sleep mode can be exited using one of multiple wake up sources. This example demonstrates how to use the esp_sleep.h API to enter deep sleep mode, then wake up form different sources.

The following wake up sources are demonstrated in this example (refer to the Wakeup Sources documentation for more details regarding wake up sources):

1. Timer: An RTC timer that can be programmed to trigger a wake up after a preset time. This example will trigger a wake up every 20 seconds.
2. EXT1: External wake up 1 which is tied to multiple RTC GPIOs. This example use GPIO2 and GPIO4 to trigger a wake up with any one of the two pins are HIGH.
3. Touch: Touch pad sensor interrupt. This example uses touch pads connected to GPIO32, GPIO33 in ESP32 or GPIO9 in ESP32-S2 to trigger a wake up when any of the pads are pressed.
4. ULP: Ultra Low Power Coprocessor which can continue to run during deep sleep. This example utilizes the ULP and constantly sample the chip's temperature and trigger a wake up if the chips temperature exceeds ~5 degrees Celsius.

Note: Some wake up sources can be disabled via configuration (see section on project configuration)

In this example, the CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_SKIP_VALIDATE_IN_DEEP_SLEEP Kconfig option is used, which allows you to reduce the boot time of the bootloader during waking up from deep sleep. The bootloader stores in rtc memory the address of a running partition and uses it when it wakes up. This example allows you to skip all image checks and speed up the boot.

How to use example

Hardware Required

This example should be able to run on any commonly available ESP32 development board without any extra hardware if only Timer and ULP wake up sources are used. However, the following extra connections will be required for the remaining wake up sources.

• EXT1: GPIO2 and GPIO4 should be connected to LOW to avoid floating pins. When triggering a wake up, connect one or both of then pins to HIGH. Note that floating pins may trigger an wake up.

• Touch: GPIO32, GPIO33 in ESP32 or GPIO9 in ESP32-S2 should be connected to touch sensors (see Touch Sensor Application Note).

Configure the project

idf.py menuconfig

• Touch wake up can be enabled/disabled via Example configuration > Enable touch wake up
• ULT wake up can be enabled/disabled via Example configuration > Enable temperature monitoring by ULP

Wake up sources that are unused or unconnected should be disabled in configuration to prevent inadvertent triggering of wake up as a result of floating pins.

Build and Flash

Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:

idf.py -p PORT flash monitor

(Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.)

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.

Example Output

On initial startup, this example will detect that this is the first boot and output the following low:

...
I (304) cpu_start: Starting scheduler on PRO CPU.
I (0) cpu_start: Starting scheduler on APP CPU.
Not a deep sleep reset
Enabling timer wakeup, 20s
Enabling EXT1 wakeup on pins GPIO2, GPIO4
Touch pad #8 average: 2148, wakeup threshold set to 2048.
Touch pad #9 average: 2148, wakeup threshold set to 2048.
Enabling touch pad wakeup
Enabling ULP wakeup
Entering deep sleep

The ESP32 will then enter deep sleep. When a wake up occurs, the ESP32 must undergo the entire boot process again. However the example will detect that this boot is due to a wake up and indicate the wake up source in the output log such as the following:

...
I (304) cpu_start: Starting scheduler on PRO CPU.
I (0) cpu_start: Starting scheduler on APP CPU.
Wake up from timer. Time spent in deep sleep: 20313ms
ULP did 110 temperature measurements in 20313 ms
Initial T=87, latest T=87
Enabling timer wakeup, 20s

Touch pad #9 average: 2146, wakeup threshold set to 2046.
