ULP coprocessor instruction set
===============================
This document provides details about the instructions used by ESP32 ULP coprocessor assembler.
ULP coprocessor has 4 16-bit general purpose registers, labeled R0, R1, R2, R3. It also has an 8-bit counter register (stage_cnt) which can be used to implement loops. Stage count regiter is accessed using special instructions.
ULP coprocessor can access 8k bytes of RTC_SLOW_MEM memory region. Memory is addressed in 32-bit word units. It can also access peripheral registers in RTC_CNTL, RTC_IO, and SENS peripherals.
All instructions are 32-bit. Jump instructions, ALU instructions, peripheral register and memory access instructions are executed in 1 cycle. Instructions which work with peripherals (TSENS, ADC, I2C) take variable number of cycles, depending on peripheral operation.
The instruction syntax is case insensitive. Upper and lower case letters can be used and intermixed arbitrarily. This is true both for register names and instruction names.
Note about addressing
---------------------
ESP32 ULP coprocessor's JUMP, ST, LD instructions which take register as an argument (jump address, store/load base address) expect the argument to be expressed in 32-bit words.
Consider the following example program::
entry:
NOP
NOP
NOP
NOP
loop:
MOVE R1, loop
JUMP R1
When this program is assembled and linked, address of label ``loop`` will be equal to 16 (expressed in bytes). However `JUMP` instruction expects the address stored in register to be expressed in 32-bit words. To account for this common use case, assembler will convert the address of label `loop` from bytes to words, when generating ``MOVE`` instruction, so the code generated code will be equivalent to::
0000 NOP
0004 NOP
0008 NOP
000c NOP
0010 MOVE R1, 4
0014 JUMP R1
The other case is when the argument of ``MOVE`` instruction is not a label but a constant. In this case assembler will use the value as is, without any conversion::
.set val, 0x10
MOVE R1, val
In this case, value loaded into R1 will be ``0x10``.
Similar considerations apply to ``LD`` and ``ST`` instructions. Consider the following code::
.global array
array: .long 0
.long 0
.long 0
.long 0
MOVE R1, array
MOVE R2, 0x1234
ST R2, R1, 0 // write value of R2 into the first array element,
// i.e. array[0]
ST R2, R1, 4 // write value of R2 into the second array element
// (4 byte offset), i.e. array[1]
ADD R1, R1, 2 // this increments address by 2 words (8 bytes)
ST R2, R1, 0 // write value of R2 into the third array element,
// i.e. array[2]
Note about instruction execution time
-------------------------------------
ULP coprocessor is clocked from RTC_FAST_CLK, which is normally derived from the internal 8MHz oscillator. Applications which need to know exact ULP clock frequency can calibrate it against the main XTAL clock::
#include "soc/rtc.h"
// calibrate 8M/256 clock against XTAL, get 8M/256 clock period
uint32_t rtc_8md256_period = rtc_clk_cal(RTC_CAL_8MD256, 100);
uint32_t rtc_fast_freq_hz = 1000000ULL * (1 << RTC_CLK_CAL_FRACT) * 256 / rtc_8md256_period;
ULP coprocessor needs 2 clock cycle to fetch each instuction (fetching is not pipelined), plus certain number of cycles to execute, depending on the instruction. See description of each instruction for details on the execution time.
Note that when accessing RTC memories and RTC registers, ULP coprocessor has lower priority than the main CPUs. This means that ULP coprocessor execution may be suspended while the main CPUs access same memory region as the ULP.

The application can use higher 16 bits to determine which instruction in the ULP program has written any particular word into memory.

**WAKE** Wake up the chip
---------------------------
**Syntax**
**WAKE**
**Operands**
No operands
**Cycles**
2 (fetch) + 2 (execute)
**Description**
The instruction sends an interrupt from ULP to RTC controller.
- If the SoC is in deep sleep mode, and ULP wakeup is enabled, this causes the SoC to wake up.
- If the SoC is not in deep sleep mode, and ULP interrupt bit (RTC_CNTL_ULP_CP_INT_ENA) is set in RTC_CNTL_INT_ENA_REG register, RTC interrupt will be triggered.
Note that before using WAKE instruction, ULP program may needs to wait until RTC controller is ready to wake up the main CPU. This is indicated using RTC_CNTL_RDY_FOR_WAKEUP bit of RTC_CNTL_LOW_POWER_ST_REG register. If WAKE instruction is executed while RTC_CNTL_RDY_FOR_WAKEUP is zero, it has no effect (wake up does not occur).
**Examples**::
1: is_rdy_for_wakeup: // Read RTC_CNTL_RDY_FOR_WAKEUP bit
READ_RTC_FIELD(RTC_CNTL_LOW_POWER_ST_REG, RTC_CNTL_RDY_FOR_WAKEUP)
AND r0, r0, 1
JUMP is_rdy_for_wakeup, eq // Retry until the bit is set
WAKE // Trigger wake up
REG_WR 0x006, 24, 24, 0 // Stop ULP timer (clear RTC_CNTL_ULP_CP_SLP_TIMER_EN)
HALT // Stop the ULP program
// After these instructions, SoC will wake up,
// and ULP will not run again until started by the main program.

Convenience macros for peripheral registers access
--------------------------------------------------
ULP source files are passed through C preprocessor before the assembler. This allows certain macros to be used to facilitate access to peripheral registers.
Some existing macros are defined in ``soc/soc_ulp.h`` header file. These macros allow access to the fields of peripheral registers by their names.
Peripheral registers names which can be used with these macros are the ones defined in ``soc/rtc_cntl_reg.h``, ``soc/rtc_io_reg.h``, ``soc/sens_reg.h``, and ``soc/rtc_i2c_reg.h``.
READ_RTC_REG(rtc_reg, low_bit, bit_width)
Read up to 16 bits from rtc_reg[low_bit + bit_width - 1 : low_bit] into R0. For example::
#include "soc/soc_ulp.h"
#include "soc/rtc_cntl_reg.h"
/* Read 16 lower bits of RTC_CNTL_TIME0_REG into R0 */
READ_RTC_REG(RTC_CNTL_TIME0_REG, 0, 16)
READ_RTC_FIELD(rtc_reg, field)
Read from a field in rtc_reg into R0, up to 16 bits. For example::
#include "soc/soc_ulp.h"
#include "soc/sens_reg.h"
/* Read 8-bit SENS_TSENS_OUT field of SENS_SAR_SLAVE_ADDR3_REG into R0 */
READ_RTC_FIELD(SENS_SAR_SLAVE_ADDR3_REG, SENS_TSENS_OUT)
WRITE_RTC_REG(rtc_reg, low_bit, bit_width, value)
Write immediate value into rtc_reg[low_bit + bit_width - 1 : low_bit], bit_width <= 8. For example::
#include "soc/soc_ulp.h"
#include "soc/rtc_io_reg.h"
/* Set BIT(2) of RTC_GPIO_OUT_DATA_W1TS field in RTC_GPIO_OUT_W1TS_REG */
WRITE_RTC_REG(RTC_GPIO_OUT_W1TS_REG, RTC_GPIO_OUT_DATA_W1TS_S + 2, 1, 1)
WRITE_RTC_FIELD(rtc_reg, field, value)
Write immediate value into a field in rtc_reg, up to 8 bits. For example::
#include "soc/soc_ulp.h"
#include "soc/rtc_cntl_reg.h"
/* Set RTC_CNTL_ULP_CP_SLP_TIMER_EN field of RTC_CNTL_STATE0_REG to 0 */
WRITE_RTC_FIELD(RTC_CNTL_STATE0_REG, RTC_CNTL_ULP_CP_SLP_TIMER_EN, 0)
