ULP global variables

[urbanze]

Hi guys! I tried to change any global variable with ULP, but doesnt work. What I do wrong?
(The code simply read the variable before, and after the ULP to check if the variable has changed.)

C code




Assembly code

Hi urbanze,

I tried to change any global variable with ULP, but doesnt work. What I do wrong?

I can't read anything on these screen shoots I will be guessing then

Maybe you are missing the "ulp_" prefix?
Ref. https://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/lates ... -variables

EDIT: If this is not the case, then try a classic example https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tr ... system/ulp.
This example is using global variables and it works for me.

Thanks for reply krz!. I know about "ulp_" variables, and yes, I using this and doenst work... I think is anything about load or store, but need help...


Why you cant view screen shots?

ULP code seems to be missing a store after the increment.

I can view the screen shots but not the tiny font
Copy and paste of code would work better for me in this case.
Also a plan text is easier for anybody to copy back for testing instead of retyping.

@ESP_igrr, thank you for help with this one!

.global x
x: .long 0

.global entry
entry:

move r0, x
ld r0, r0, 0
add r0, r0, 1
st r0, r0, 0
halt

//or this

move r0, x
move r2, 10
ld r0, r0, 0
st r2, r0, 0
halt


Anyone doenst work, how can I do this simples process?¿

Code in C have:

variable: extern uint32_t ulp_x = 1;

and load/run to ulp.


Code in ulp

.global x
x: .long 0

.global entry
entry:

move r0, x
ld r0, r0, x
add r0, r0, 1
halt


I comment before with another two tests, and anyone doenst worked

variable: extern uint32_t ulp_x = 1;

and load/run to ulp.

How do verify whether "ulp_x" is changing its value or not?

Should be e.g.:

.global x
x: .long 0

.global entry
entry:

move r1, x // load address of x in r1
ld r0, r1, 0 // load data from x in r0
add r0, r0, 1 // increment r0
st r0,r1,0 // store r0 as new content of x
halt

Code: Select all

void ulp()
{
	Serial.printf("\nULP_X: %d", ulp_x & UINT16_MAX);
	delay(100);
	ulp_load_binary(0, ulp_main_bin_start, (ulp_main_bin_end - ulp_main_bin_start) / sizeof(uint32_t));
	ulp_run((&ulp_entry - RTC_SLOW_MEM) / sizeof(uint32_t));
	delay(100);
	Serial.printf("\nULP_X: %d", ulp_x & UINT16_MAX);
}
