# Sleep Modes

[中文]

## Overview

ESP32-P4 supports two major power saving modes: Light-sleep and Deep-sleep. According to the features used by an application, there are some sub sleep modes. See Sleep Modes for these sleep modes and sub sleep modes. Additionally, there are some power-down options that can be configured to further reduce the power consumption. See Power-down Options for more details.

There are several wakeup sources in the sleep modes. These sources can also be combined so that the chip will wake up when any of the sources are triggered. Wakeup Sources describes these wakeup sources and configuration APIs in detail.

The configuration of power-down options and wakeup sources are optional. They can be configured at any moment before entering the sleep modes.

Then the application can call sleep start APIs to enter one of the sleep modes. See Entering Sleep for more details. When the wakeup condition is met, the application is awoken from sleep. See Checking Sleep Wakeup Cause on how to get the wakeup cause, and Disable Sleep Wakeup Source on how to handle the wakeup sources after wakeup.

## Sleep Modes

In Light-sleep mode, the digital peripherals, most of the RAM, and CPUs are clock-gated and their supply voltage is reduced. Upon exit from Light-sleep, the digital peripherals, RAM, and CPUs resume operation and their internal states are preserved.

In Deep-sleep mode, the CPUs, most of the RAM, and all digital peripherals that are clocked from APB_CLK are powered off. The only parts of the chip that remain powered on are:

> - RTC controller

> - ULP coprocessor

> - RTC FAST memory

## Wakeup Sources

Wakeup sources can be enabled using `esp_sleep_enable_X_wakeup` APIs. Wakeup sources are not disabled after wakeup, you can disable them using `esp_sleep_disable_wakeup_source()` API if you do not need them any more. See Disable Sleep Wakeup Source.

Following are the wakeup sources supported on ESP32-P4.

### Timer

The RTC controller has a built-in timer which can be used to wake up the chip after a predefined amount of time. Time is specified at microsecond precision, but the actual resolution depends on the clock source selected for RTC_SLOW_CLK.

For details on RTC clock options, see ESP32-P4 Technical Reference Manual > ULP Coprocessor [PDF].

RTC peripherals or RTC memories do not need to be powered on during sleep in this wakeup mode.

`esp_sleep_enable_timer_wakeup()` function can be used to enable sleep wakeup using a timer.

### Touchpad

The RTC IO module contains the logic to trigger wakeup when a touch sensor interrupt occurs. To wakeup from a touch sensor interrupt, users need to configure the touch pad interrupt before the chip enters Deep-sleep or Light-sleep modes.

`esp_sleep_enable_touchpad_wakeup()` function can be used to enable this wakeup source.

### External Wakeup (`ext1`)

The RTC controller contains the logic to trigger wakeup using multiple RTC GPIOs. One of the following two logic functions can be used to trigger ext1 wakeup:

- wake up if any of the selected pins is high (`ESP_EXT1_WAKEUP_ANY_HIGH`)

- wake up if any of the selected pins is low (`ESP_EXT1_WAKEUP_ANY_LOW`)

This wakeup source is controlled by the RTC controller. It supports wakeup even when the RTC peripheral is powered down. Although the power domain of the RTC peripheral, where RTC IOs are located, is powered down during sleep modes, ESP-IDF will automatically lock the state of the wakeup pin before the system enters sleep modes and unlock upon exiting sleep modes. Therefore, the internal pull-up or pull-down resistors can still be configured for the wakeup pin:

    esp_sleep_pd_config(ESP_PD_DOMAIN_RTC_PERIPH, ESP_PD_OPTION_ON);
    rtc_gpio_pullup_dis(gpio_num);
    rtc_gpio_pulldown_en(gpio_num);

If we turn off the `RTC_PERIPH` domain, we will use the HOLD feature to maintain the pull-up and pull-down on the pins during sleep. HOLD feature will be acted on the pin internally before the system enters sleep modes, and this can further reduce power consumption:

    rtc_gpio_pullup_dis(gpio_num);
    rtc_gpio_pulldown_en(gpio_num);

If certain chips lack the `RTC_PERIPH` domain, we can only use the HOLD feature to maintain the pull-up and pull-down on the pins during sleep modes:

    gpio_pullup_dis(gpio_num);
    gpio_pulldown_en(gpio_num);

`esp_sleep_enable_ext1_wakeup_io()` function can be used to append ext1 wakeup IO and set corresponding wakeup level.

`esp_sleep_disable_ext1_wakeup_io()` function can be used to remove ext1 wakeup IO.

The RTC controller also supports triggering wakeup, allowing configurable IO to use different wakeup levels simultaneously. This can be configured with `esp_sleep_enable_ext1_wakeup_io()`.

Warning

- To use the EXT1 wakeup, the IO pad(s) are configured as RTC IO. Therefore, before using these pads as digital GPIOs, users need to reconfigure them by calling the `rtc_gpio_deinit()` function.

- If the RTC peripherals are configured to be powered down (which is by default), the wakeup IOs will be set to the holding state before entering sleep. Therefore, after the chip wakes up from Light-sleep, please call `rtc_gpio_hold_dis` to disable the hold function to perform any pin re-configuration. For Deep-sleep wakeup, this is already being handled at the application startup stage.

### ULP Coprocessor Wakeup

ULP coprocessor can run while the chip is in sleep mode, and may be used to poll sensors, monitor ADC or GPIO states, and wake up the chip when a specific event is detected. ULP coprocessor is part of the RTC peripherals power domain, and it runs the program stored in RTC SLOW memory. RTC SLOW memory will be powered on during sleep if this wakeup mode is requested. RTC peripherals will be automatically powered on before ULP coprocessor starts running the program; once the program stops running, RTC peripherals are automatically powered down again.

`esp_sleep_enable_ulp_wakeup()` function can be used to enable this wakeup source.

### GPIO Wakeup from Light-sleep

In addition to the EXT1 wakeup source described above, one more method of wakeup from external inputs is available in Light-sleep mode. With this wakeup source, each pin can be individually configured to trigger wakeup on high or low level using `gpio_wakeup_enable()` function. Unlike the EXT1 wakeup source, which can only be used with RTC IOs, this wakeup source can be used with any IO (RTC or digital).

`esp_sleep_enable_gpio_wakeup()` function can be used to enable this wakeup source.

Warning

Before entering Light-sleep mode, check if any GPIO pin to be driven is part of the VDD_SPI power domain. If so, this power domain must be configured to remain ON during sleep.

For example, on ESP32-WROOM-32 board, GPIO16 and GPIO17 are linked to VDD_SPI power domain. If they are configured to remain high during Light-sleep, the power domain should be configured to remain powered ON. This can be done with `esp_sleep_pd_config()`:

    esp_sleep_pd_config(ESP_PD_DOMAIN_VDDSDIO, ESP_PD_OPTION_ON);

Note

In Light-sleep mode, if you set Kconfig option CONFIG_PM_POWER_DOWN_PERIPHERAL_IN_LIGHT_SLEEP， to continue using `gpio_wakeup_enable()` for GPIO wakeup, you need to first call `rtc_gpio_init()` and `rtc_gpio_set_direction()`, setting the RTCIO to input mode.

Alternatively，you can use `esp_sleep_enable_gpio_wakeup_on_hp_periph_powerdown()` directly in that condition for GPIO wakeup, because the digital IO power domain is being powered off.

### GPIO Wakeup from Deep-sleep

In addition to the GPIO wakeup mechanism available in Light-sleep mode, ESP32-P4 also supports waking up from Deep-sleep using GPIOs.

This wakeup source is implemented by `esp_sleep_enable_gpio_wakeup_on_hp_periph_powerdown()`, which allows selecting one or more GPIOs and the wakeup level (high or low). Only GPIOs powered by the VDD_LP power domain can be used as Deep-sleep GPIO wakeup sources. The exact set of supported pins can be checked in the datasheet > Section IO Pins.

Note

This API also works for Light-sleep mode when the peripheral power domain is powered down (see CONFIG_PM_POWER_DOWN_PERIPHERAL_IN_LIGHT_SLEEP). In this case, it should be used instead of `esp_sleep_enable_gpio_wakeup()` because the GPIO module is powered down during sleep.

For a complete example of using GPIO to wake up from Deep-sleep, see system/deep_sleep.

### UART Wakeup (Light-sleep Only)

When ESP32-P4 receives UART input from external devices, it is often necessary to wake up the chip when input data is available. The UART peripheral supports multiple wakeup modes that can wake up the chip from Light-sleep. The wakeup mode and its parameters can be configured using `uart_wakeup_setup()` function.

The UART wakeup supports the following modes:

Mode 0 (UART_WK_MODE_ACTIVE_THRESH) - Active Edge Threshold Wakeup

> When all clocks are powered down, the chip can be woken up by toggling the RXD pin for a certain number of cycles. The chip wakes up when the number of rising edges is greater than or equal to threshold value. The threshold value can be configured using the `rx_edge_threshold` field in `uart_wakeup_cfg_t` structure.

Mode 1 (UART_WK_MODE_FIFO_THRESH) - RX FIFO Threshold Wakeup

> Since the UART Core clock remains active, the UART RX can still receive data and store it in the RX FIFO. The chip can be woken up from Light-sleep when the number of bytes in the RX FIFO exceeds the configured threshold. The threshold value can be configured using the `rx_fifo_threshold` field in `uart_wakeup_cfg_t` structure.

Mode 2 (UART_WK_MODE_START_BIT) - Start Bit Detection Wakeup

> The chip wakes up when the UART RX detects a start bit.

Mode 3 (UART_WK_MODE_CHAR_SEQ) - Character Sequence Detection Wakeup

> The chip wakes up when the UART RX receives a specific character sequence. The character sequence can be configured using the `wake_chars_seq` field in `uart_wakeup_cfg_t` structure. The character sequence supports wildcard matching using '*' to represent any symbol.

`esp_sleep_enable_uart_wakeup()` function can be used to enable this wakeup source.

After waking-up from UART wakeup mode 0, you should send some extra data through the UART port or reset the UART module in Active mode, otherwise, the next UART wake-up would trigger with two less rising edges than the configured threshold value.

Note

In Light-sleep mode, setting Kconfig option CONFIG_PM_POWER_DOWN_PERIPHERAL_IN_LIGHT_SLEEP will invalidate UART wakeup.

LP_UART can wake up the ULP LP core coprocessor. LP_UART supports the same wakeup modes as the HP UART described above, including active edge threshold wakeup, RX FIFO threshold wakeup, start bit detection wakeup, and character sequence detection wakeup.

To use LP_UART to wake up the ULP LP core, follow these steps:

1. Set the `ULP_LP_CORE_WAKEUP_SOURCE_LP_UART` flag in the `wakeup_source` field of the `ulp_lp_core_cfg_t` structure.

2. Initialize the LP UART (call `lp_core_uart_init()`).

3. Configure the LP_UART wakeup mode using the `lp_core_uart_wakeup_setup()` function with a `uart_wakeup_cfg_t` structure, using the same configuration method as HP UART.

Note

On chips with `SOC_LP_CORE_LP_UART_WAKEUP_KEEP_TRIGGERED`, the LP UART wakeup signal remains triggered after a wakeup event. The LP core startup flow (`ulp_lp_core_update_wakeup_cause()`) automatically calls `ulp_lp_core_lp_uart_reset_wakeup_en()` and `lp_core_uart_clear_buf()` to clear this state. If the standard startup flow is not used, you must handle this manually; otherwise, repeated wakeups will occur.

For example code on LP_UART wakeup, refer to system/ulp/lp_core/lp_uart/lp_uart_char_seq_wakeup.

### Disable Sleep Wakeup Source

Previously configured wakeup sources can be disabled later using `esp_sleep_disable_wakeup_source()` API. This function deactivates trigger for the given wakeup source. Additionally, it can disable all triggers if the argument is `ESP_SLEEP_WAKEUP_ALL`.

## Power-down Options

The application can force specific powerdown modes for RTC peripherals and RTC memories. In Deep-sleep mode, we can also isolate some IOs to further reduce current consumption.

### Power-down of RTC Peripherals and Memories

By default, `esp_deep_sleep_start()` and `esp_light_sleep_start()` functions power down all RTC power domains which are not needed by the enabled wakeup sources. To override this behaviour, `esp_sleep_pd_config()` function is provided.

In ESP32-P4, there is only RTC FAST memory, so if some variables in the program are marked by `RTC_DATA_ATTR`, `RTC_SLOW_ATTR` or `RTC_FAST_ATTR` attributes, all of them go to RTC FAST memory. It will be kept powered on by default. This can be overridden using `esp_sleep_pd_config()` function, if desired.

### Flash Entering Deep Power-Down Mode

For Light-sleep, ESP-IDF recommends lowering SPI Flash sleep current using Deep Power-Down (DPD) first: enable CONFIG_ESP_SLEEP_SET_FLASH_DPD so the SPI Flash enters its deep power-down command mode while the supply rail remains on. Current draw is typically very low (often below 1 µA for many SPI Flash devices), without the wake-up delay of fully cycling the SPI Flash supply.

In almost all use cases, DPD offers better overall trade-offs than cutting SPI Flash supply power—both safer for execution and still very low power.

Note

Mutually exclusive strategies: Power-down SPI Flash during Light-sleep (CONFIG_ESP_SLEEP_POWER_DOWN_FLASH or `esp_sleep_pd_config(ESP_PD_DOMAIN_VDDSDIO, ESP_PD_OPTION_OFF)`) cannot be combined with DPD. Kconfig exposes CONFIG_ESP_SLEEP_SET_FLASH_DPD only when CONFIG_ESP_SLEEP_POWER_DOWN_FLASH is disabled.

Warning

Before using this feature, check the datasheet of the SPI Flash device used on your chip to ensure it supports the Deep Power-Down mode.

### Power-down of Flash

By default, to avoid potential issues, `esp_light_sleep_start()` function does not power down SPI Flash. To be more specific, it takes time to power down the SPI Flash and during this period the system may be woken up, which then actually powers up the SPI Flash before this SPI Flash could be powered down completely. As a result, there is a chance that the SPI Flash may not work properly.

So, in theory, it is ok if you only wake up the system after the SPI Flash is completely powered down. However, in reality, the SPI Flash power-down period can be hard to predict (for example, this period can be much longer when you add filter capacitors to the SPI Flash's power supply circuit) and uncontrollable (for example, the asynchronous wake-up signals make the actual sleep time uncontrollable).

Warning

If a filter capacitor is added to your SPI Flash power supply circuit, please do everything possible to avoid powering down SPI Flash.

Therefore, it is recommended not to power down SPI Flash when using ESP-IDF. For power-sensitive applications, it is recommended to use Kconfig option CONFIG_ESP_SLEEP_FLASH_LEAKAGE_WORKAROUND to reduce the power consumption of the SPI Flash during Light-sleep, instead of powering down the SPI Flash.

It is worth mentioning that PSRAM has a similar Kconfig option CONFIG_ESP_SLEEP_PSRAM_LEAKAGE_WORKAROUND.

However, for those who have fully understood the risk and are still willing to power down the SPI Flash to further reduce the power consumption, please check the following mechanisms:

> - Setting Kconfig option CONFIG_ESP_SLEEP_POWER_DOWN_FLASH only powers down the SPI Flash when the RTC timer is the only wake-up source and the sleep time is longer than the SPI Flash power-down period.

> - Calling `esp_sleep_pd_config(ESP_PD_DOMAIN_VDDSDIO, ESP_PD_OPTION_OFF)` powers down SPI Flash when the RTC timer is not enabled as a wakeup source or the sleep time is longer than the SPI Flash power-down period.

Note

- ESP-IDF does not provide any mechanism that can power down the SPI Flash in all conditions when Light-sleep.

- `esp_deep_sleep_start()` function forces power down SPI Flash regardless of user configuration.

### Flash Sleep Strategy Recommendations

In sleep scenarios, the SPI Flash handling method directly affects system safety, and power consumption. Different application scenarios prioritize these factors differently, so it is important to choose an appropriate SPI Flash sleep strategy.

#### Keep Flash Powered On

The standby power consumption of different SPI Flash varies. In ESP series chips, the standby power consumption of SPI Flash is typically below 30 µA. In the following scenarios, it is recommended to keep the SPI Flash powered on:

1. The system has extremely high stability requirements and cannot accept any potential risks from SPI Flash power-off.

2. Sleep duration is short or unpredictable, for example, when asynchronous wake-up sources exist (GPIO, UART, etc.).

3. Large filter capacitors exist in the SPI Flash power supply circuit, making it difficult to estimate the actual SPI Flash power-down time.

In the above cases, keeping the SPI Flash powered on is the most conservative and safest choice, but note that its standby power consumption is relatively high (about 10-30 µA).

#### Flash Entering Deep Power-Down (DPD) Mode

When standby power is still too high, prefer Deep Power-Down via CONFIG_ESP_SLEEP_SET_FLASH_DPD; see Flash Entering Deep Power-Down Mode for figures, timings, and how to enable it.

DPD mode is suitable for the following scenarios:

1. Significant reduction in SPI Flash power consumption during sleep is needed, but the risk of SPI Flash re-powering should be avoided.

2. Sleep duration is short or unpredictable, for example, when asynchronous wake-up sources exist (GPIO, UART, etc.).

3. SPI Flash chip used explicitly supports Deep Power-Down mode.

#### Power Down Flash

You can refer to Power-down of Flash to power down the SPI Flash during sleep. After the following conditions are met or after thorough evaluation, you may consider this strategy:

1. The application has strict requirements for extremely low power consumption.

2. Wake-up sources are controllable, typically only RTC timer wake-up sources are enabled.

3. It can be ensured that the actual sleep time is greater than the time required for the SPI Flash to completely power down. For ESP series chips, the time required for the SPI Flash to completely power down may be greater than 300ms. If parallel capacitors exist in the SPI Flash power supply circuit, longer sleep time may be required.

4. If the sleep time is too short, the power consumption during the SPI Flash power-on and power-down processes may exceed the power consumption when keeping it powered on.

5. There is sufficient control over SPI Flash power supply and IO states to avoid SPI Flash leakage due to pin pull-up during sleep.

Since the SPI Flash power-down process is greatly affected by hardware design, IO impedance characteristics, power supply, and environmental factors, ESP-IDF cannot guarantee that the SPI Flash will be safely powered down in Light-sleep mode. Therefore, this method is only suitable for scenarios with controllable risks and thorough verification.

### Configuring IOs (Deep-sleep Only)

Some ESP32-P4 IOs have internal pullups or pulldowns, which are enabled by default. If an external circuit drives this pin in Deep-sleep mode, current consumption may increase due to current flowing through these pullups and pulldowns.

To isolate a pin to prevent extra current draw, call `rtc_gpio_isolate()` function.

For example, on ESP32-WROVER module, GPIO12 is pulled up externally, and it also has an internal pulldown in the ESP32 chip. This means that in Deep-sleep, some current flows through these external and internal resistors, increasing Deep-sleep current above the minimal possible value.

Add the following code before `esp_deep_sleep_start()` to remove such extra current:

    rtc_gpio_isolate(GPIO_NUM_12);

## Entering Sleep

`esp_light_sleep_start()` or `esp_deep_sleep_start()` functions can be used to enter Light-sleep or Deep-sleep modes correspondingly. After that, the system configures the parameters of RTC controller according to the requested wakeup sources and power-down options.

It is also possible to enter sleep modes with no wakeup sources configured. In this case, the chip will be in sleep modes indefinitely until external reset is applied.

Note

The sleep process will disable the cache, so the task stack of the task requesting sleep must be located in internal memory (DRAM or RTC fast memory). If a task with its stack in PSRAM requests Light-sleep or Deep-sleep, it will be rejected and an error will be returned.

### UART Output Handling

Before entering sleep, the sleep flow prepares the console UART (the UART used for debug output, selected by CONFIG_ESP_CONSOLE_UART_NUM) so that APB clock changes or power-down do not cause garbled output or undefined behavior. The strategy applied is configurable and affects data integrity, sleep entry time, and power consumption.

Default behavior (auto mode)

If you do not call `esp_sleep_set_console_uart_handling_mode()`, the following default strategy is used:

- Deep-sleep: Always wait until all data in the console UART FIFO has been transmitted before entering sleep, so that all debug output is sent and no data is lost.

- Light-sleep: Behavior depends on whether the UART power domain is powered down:

    - If the UART remains powered (e.g. HP peripheral domain not powered down): UART output is suspended after the current frame completes; after wakeup it is resumed and any remaining data in the UART TX FIFO before sleep continues to be sent.

    - If the UART power domain is powered down: The sleep flow waits until all data in the console UART TX FIFO has been transmitted before entering sleep; data in other UARTs is discarded to enter sleep faster.

Configuring console UART handling

You can override the default by calling `esp_sleep_set_console_uart_handling_mode()` and choosing one of the following modes (see `esp_sleep_uart_handling_mode_t`):

- `ESP_SLEEP_AUTO_FLUSH_SUSPEND_UART` (default): Automatically choose flush or suspend based on sleep type and power domain, as described above.

- `ESP_SLEEP_ALWAYS_FLUSH_UART` : Always wait until all data in the console UART TX FIFO has been transmitted before entering sleep. Use when you must guarantee that all debug output is visible; sleep entry will take longer and the chip will stay in Active state longer, increasing power consumption.

- `ESP_SLEEP_ALWAYS_SUSPEND_UART` : Wait for the current UART frame to complete, then suspend the UART. If the UART stays powered during Light-sleep, transmission continues after wake. If the UART power domain is powered down, unsent data will be lost.

- `ESP_SLEEP_ALWAYS_DISCARD_UART` : Discard all unsent data in the console UART FIFO and enter sleep immediately. Use for the fastest sleep entry and lowest power when debug output can be discarded.

- `ESP_SLEEP_NO_HANDLING` : Do not perform any handling on the console UART before sleep. Use only when the UART state is known to be safe (e.g. no pending output or the console UART is disabled).

Note

The sleep flow runs in a critical section. When using a mode that flushes the console UART (e.g. `ESP_SLEEP_ALWAYS_FLUSH_UART` , or the default behavior for Light-sleep/Deep-sleep when the HP peripheral domain is powered down), set CONFIG_ESP_INT_WDT_TIMEOUT_MS to be greater than `SOC_UART_FIFO_LEN` × (time to send one character at the current baud rate). Otherwise, if too much data is queued in the TX FIFO, the flush may take longer than the interrupt watchdog timeout and trigger a watchdog reset during sleep entry.

Example: ensure all debug output is sent before every sleep:

    .. code-block:: C

> fflush(stdout); esp_sleep_set_console_uart_handling_mode(ESP_SLEEP_ALWAYS_FLUSH_UART); esp_light_sleep_start();

Example: minimize sleep entry time and allow discarding console output:

    .. code-block:: C

> esp_sleep_set_console_uart_handling_mode(ESP_SLEEP_ALWAYS_DISCARD_UART); esp_deep_sleep_start();

## Checking Sleep Wakeup Cause

`esp_sleep_get_wakeup_cause()` function can be used to check which wakeup source has triggered wakeup from sleep mode.

For touchpad, it is possible to identify which touch pin has caused wakeup using `esp_sleep_get_touchpad_wakeup_status()` functions.

For ext1 wakeup sources, it is possible to identify which GPIO has caused wakeup using `esp_sleep_get_ext1_wakeup_status()` functions.

## Application Examples

- protocols/sntp demonstrates the implementation of basic functionality of Deep-sleep, where ESP module is periodically waken up to retrieve time from NTP server.

- system/deep_sleep demonstrates the usage of various Deep-sleep wakeup triggers and ULP coprocessor programming.

- system/light_sleep demonstrates the usage of Light-sleep wakeup triggered by various sources, such as the timer, GPIOs, supported by ESP32-P4.

- peripherals/touch_sensor/touch_sens_sleep demonstrates the usage of Light-sleep and Deep-sleep wakeup triggered by the touch sensor.

- lowpower/vbat demonstrates the use of backup battery power (VBAT) during Deep-sleep, allowing the RTC timer to keep running after the main power is removed.

  Note

  This function does not modify wake up configuration in RTC. It will be performed in esp_deep_sleep_start/esp_light_sleep_start function.

  Parameters:

    source -- - number of source to disable of type esp_sleep_source_t

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK on success

  Note

  On ESP32, touch wakeup source can not be used when RTC_PERIPH power domain is forced to be powered on (ESP_PD_OPTION_ON) or when ext0 wakeup source is used.

  Note

  The FSM mode of the touch button should be configured as the timer trigger mode.

  Returns:

    touch pad which caused wakeup

bool esp_sleep_is_valid_wakeup_gpio(gpio_num_t gpio_num)

  Returns true if a GPIO number is valid for use as wakeup source.

  Note

  For SoCs with RTC IO capability, this can be any valid RTC IO input pin.

  Parameters:

    gpio_num -- Number of the GPIO to test for wakeup source capability

  Returns:

    True if this GPIO number will be accepted as a sleep wakeup source.

esp_err_t esp_sleep_enable_ext1_wakeup(uint64_t io_mask, esp_sleep_ext1_wakeup_mode_t level_mode)

  Enable wakeup using multiple pins.

  This function uses external wakeup feature of RTC controller. It will work even if RTC peripherals are shut down during sleep.

  This feature can monitor any number of pins which are in RTC IOs. Once selected pins go into the state given by level_mode argument, the chip will be woken up.

  Note

  This function does not modify pin configuration. The pins are configured in esp_deep_sleep_start/esp_light_sleep_start, immediately before entering sleep mode.

  Note

  Internal pullups and pulldowns don't work when RTC peripherals are shut down. In this case, external resistors need to be added. Alternatively, RTC peripherals (and pullups/pulldowns) may be kept enabled using esp_sleep_pd_config function. If we turn off the `RTC_PERIPH` domain or certain chips lack the `RTC_PERIPH` domain, we will use the HOLD feature to maintain the pull-up and pull-down on the pins during sleep. HOLD feature will be acted on the pin internally before the system entering sleep, and this can further reduce power consumption.

  Note

  Call this func will reset the previous ext1 configuration.

  Note

  This function will be deprecated in release/v6.0. Please switch to use `esp_sleep_enable_ext1_wakeup_io` and `esp_sleep_disable_ext1_wakeup_io`

  Note

  On ESP32-H2, although GPIO7 is an RTC GPIO, it is not led out for external wakeup.

esp_err_t esp_sleep_enable_ext1_wakeup_io(uint64_t io_mask, esp_sleep_ext1_wakeup_mode_t level_mode)

  Enable ext1 wakeup pins with IO masks.

  This will append selected IOs to the wakeup IOs, it will not reset previously enabled IOs. To reset specific previously enabled IOs, call esp_sleep_disable_ext1_wakeup_io with the io_mask. To reset all the enabled IOs, call esp_sleep_disable_ext1_wakeup_io(0).

  This function uses external wakeup feature of RTC controller. It will work even if RTC peripherals are shut down during sleep.

  This feature can monitor any number of pins which are in RTC IOs. Once selected pins go into the state given by level_mode argument, the chip will be woken up.

  Note

  This function does not modify pin configuration. The pins are configured in esp_deep_sleep_start/esp_light_sleep_start, immediately before entering sleep mode.

  Note

  Internal pullups and pulldowns don't work when RTC peripherals are shut down. In this case, external resistors need to be added. Alternatively, RTC peripherals (and pullups/pulldowns) may be kept enabled using esp_sleep_pd_config function. If we turn off the `RTC_PERIPH` domain or certain chips lack the `RTC_PERIPH` domain, we will use the HOLD feature to maintain the pull-up and pull-down on the pins during sleep. HOLD feature will be acted on the pin internally before the system entering sleep, and this can further reduce power consumption.

  Note

  On ESP32-H2, although GPIO7 is an RTC GPIO, it is not led out for external wakeup.

  Parameters:

    - io_mask -- Bit mask of GPIO numbers which will cause wakeup. Only GPIOs which have RTC functionality can be used in this bit map. For different SoCs, the related GPIOs are:

      - ESP32: 0, 2, 4, 12-15, 25-27, 32-39

      - ESP32-S2: 0-21

        - ESP_EXT1_WAKEUP_ALL_LOW: wake up when all selected GPIOs are low

        - ESP_EXT1_WAKEUP_ANY_HIGH: wake up when any of the selected GPIOs is high

      - When target chip is ESP32-S2, ESP32-S3, ESP32-C6 or ESP32-H2:

        - ESP_EXT1_WAKEUP_ANY_LOW: wake up when any of the selected GPIOs is low

esp_err_t esp_sleep_disable_ext1_wakeup_io(uint64_t io_mask)

  Disable ext1 wakeup pins with IO masks. This will remove selected IOs from the wakeup IOs.

  Note

  On ESP32-H2, although GPIO7 is an RTC GPIO, it is not led out for external wakeup.

  Parameters:

    io_mask -- Bit mask of GPIO numbers which will cause wakeup. Only GPIOs which have RTC functionality can be used in this bit map. If value is zero, this func will remove all previous ext1 configuration. For different SoCs, the related GPIOs are:

    - ESP32: 0, 2, 4, 12-15, 25-27, 32-39

    - ESP32-S2: 0-21

    - ESP32-S3: 0-21

    - ESP32-C6: 0-7

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK on success

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG if any of the selected GPIOs is not an RTC GPIO.

esp_err_t esp_sleep_enable_ext1_wakeup_with_level_mask(uint64_t io_mask, uint64_t level_mask)

  Enable wakeup using multiple pins, allows different trigger mode per pin.

  This function uses external wakeup feature of RTC controller. It will work even if RTC peripherals are shut down during sleep.

  This feature can monitor any number of pins which are in RTC IOs. Once selected pins go into the state given by level_mode argument, the chip will be woken up.

  Note

  This function does not modify pin configuration. The pins are configured in esp_deep_sleep_start/esp_light_sleep_start, immediately before entering sleep mode.

  Note

  Internal pullups and pulldowns don't work when RTC peripherals are shut down. In this case, external resistors need to be added. Alternatively, RTC peripherals (and pullups/pulldowns) may be kept enabled using esp_sleep_pd_config function. If we turn off the `RTC_PERIPH` domain or certain chips lack the `RTC_PERIPH` domain, we will use the HOLD feature to maintain the pull-up and pull-down on the pins during sleep. HOLD feature will be acted on the pin internally before the system entering sleep, and this can further reduce power consumption.

  Note

  On ESP32-H2, although GPIO7 is an RTC GPIO, it is not led out for external wakeup.

  Parameters:

    - io_mask -- Bit mask of GPIO numbers which will cause wakeup. Only GPIOs which have RTC functionality can be used in this bit map. For different SoCs, the related GPIOs are:

      - ESP32-C6: 0-7

      - ESP32-H2: 7-14

    - level_mask -- Select logic function used to determine wakeup condition per pin. Each bit of the level_mask corresponds to the respective GPIO. Each bit's corresponding position is set to 0, the wakeup level will be low, on the contrary, each bit's corresponding position is set to 1, the wakeup level will be high.

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK on success

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG if any of the selected GPIOs is not an RTC GPIO, or mode is invalid

esp_err_t esp_sleep_enable_gpio_wakeup_on_hp_periph_powerdown(uint64_t gpio_pin_mask, esp_sleep_gpio_wake_up_mode_t mode)

  Enable wakeup using specific gpio pins.

  This function enables an IO pin to wake up the chip from peripheral powerdowned sleep. (including deepsleep and peripheral powerdowned lightsleep).

  Note

  1.This function does not modify pin configuration. The pins are configured inside `esp_sleep_start`, immediately before entering sleep mode. 2.This function is also applicable to waking up the lightsleep when the peripheral power domain is powered off, see PM_POWER_DOWN_PERIPHERAL_IN_LIGHT_SLEEP in menuconfig.

  Note

  You don't need to worry about pull-up or pull-down resistors before using this function because the ESP_SLEEP_GPIO_ENABLE_INTERNAL_RESISTORS option is enabled by default. It will automatically set pull-up or pull-down resistors internally in esp_deep_sleep_start based on the wakeup mode. However, when using external pull-up or pull-down resistors, please be sure to disable the ESP_SLEEP_GPIO_ENABLE_INTERNAL_RESISTORS option, as the combination of internal and external resistors may cause interference. BTW, when you use low level to wake up the chip, we strongly recommend you to add external resistors (pull-up).

  Note

  The wakeup signal must be held (level mode) or have a pulse width (edge mode) of at least 3 RTC slow-clock cycles to be reliably sampled by the wakeup logic. The duration of one slow-clock cycle depends on `CONFIG_RTC_CLK_SRC` (e.g. RC_SLOW @ ~136 kHz ~= 7.4 us/cycle, XTAL32K @ 32.768 kHz ~= 30.5 us/cycle).

  Parameters:

    - gpio_pin_mask -- Bit mask of GPIO numbers which will cause wakeup. Only GPIOs which have RTC functionality (pads that powered by VDD3P3_RTC) can be used in this bit map.

    - mode -- Wakeup condition, see esp_sleep_gpio_wake_up_mode_t.

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK on success

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG if the mask contains any invalid wakeup pin or wakeup mode is invalid

esp_err_t esp_sleep_enable_gpio_wakeup(void)

  Enable wakeup from light sleep using GPIOs.

  Each GPIO supports wakeup function, which can be triggered on either low level or high level. This method can be used with any IO (RTC or digital), whereas external RTC wakeup is limited to RTC GPIOs. It can only be used to wakeup from light sleep though.

  To enable wakeup, first call gpio_wakeup_enable, specifying gpio number and wakeup level, for each GPIO which is used for wakeup. Then call this function to enable wakeup feature.

  Note

  1. On ESP32, GPIO wakeup source can not be used together with touch or ULP wakeup sources.

  1. If PM_POWER_DOWN_PERIPHERAL_IN_LIGHT_SLEEP is enabled (if target supported), this API is unavailable since the GPIO module is powered down during sleep. You can use `esp_sleep_enable_gpio_wakeup_on_hp_periph_powerdown` instead, or use EXT1 wakeup source by `esp_sleep_enable_ext1_wakeup_io` to achieve the same function. (Only GPIOs which have RTC functionality can be used)

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK on success

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE if wakeup triggers conflict

esp_err_t esp_sleep_enable_uart_wakeup(int uart_num)

  Wakeup from light sleep takes some time, so not every character sent to the UART can be received by the application.

  Note

  1. ESP32 does not support wakeup from UART2.

  1. Wakeup mode 0(Active threshold) don't need source clock, but other modes need.

  2. If PM_POWER_DOWN_PERIPHERAL_IN_LIGHT_SLEEP is enabled (if target supported), this API is unavailable since the UART module is powered down during sleep.

  - Manual power control (ESP_PD_OPTION_ON/ESP_PD_OPTION_OFF): User can force specific power domains to stay on or off during sleep.

  The management strategy uses reference counting when in manual mode, allowing multiple subsystems to request and release power domain resources safely without interfering with each other. Power domains will only change state when all users have released their requirements.

  Parameters:

    - domain -- power domain to configure

    - option -- power down option (ESP_PD_OPTION_OFF, ESP_PD_OPTION_ON, or ESP_PD_OPTION_AUTO)

  This function is weak-linked, so you can implement your own version to run code immediately when the chip wakes from sleep.

  See docs/deep-sleep-stub.rst for details.

void esp_set_deep_sleep_wake_stub(esp_deep_sleep_wake_stub_fn_t new_stub)

  Install a new stub at runtime to run on wake from deep sleep.

  If implementing esp_wake_deep_sleep() then it is not necessary to call this function.

  However, it is possible to call this function to substitute a different deep sleep stub. Any function used as a deep sleep stub must be marked RTC_IRAM_ATTR, and must obey the same rules given for esp_wake_deep_sleep().

void esp_set_deep_sleep_wake_stub_default_entry(void)

  Using LSB of RTC_STORE4.

esp_err_t esp_sleep_set_console_uart_handling_mode(esp_sleep_uart_handling_mode_t handling_mode)

  Configure how the console UART is handled when entering sleep.

  This function configures the handling behavior for the console UART (CONFIG_ESP_CONSOLE_UART_NUM) during sleep modes. The console UART is typically used for debug output, so its handling mode affects whether debug messages are preserved or discarded before sleep.

  Note

  When CONFIG_ESP_SLEEP_CACHE_SAFE_ASSERTION is enabled, the console UART will always be flushed regardless of the configured mode to ensure debug output is visible even when cache is disabled.

  Parameters:

    handling_mode -- Handling method, one of the following strategies:

    - ESP_SLEEP_AUTO_FLUSH_SUSPEND_UART (default): Automatically selects the appropriate strategy based on sleep type and power domain:

      - Deep sleep: Always flush to avoid data loss

      - Light sleep: Suspend if UART remains powered, flush if UART power domain is powered down

    - ESP_SLEEP_ALWAYS_FLUSH_UART: Wait for all data in TX FIFO to be fully transmitted before entering sleep. Ensures all debug output is visible but increases sleep entry time and power consumption.

    - ESP_SLEEP_ALWAYS_SUSPEND_UART: Wait for current UART frame to complete, then suspend the UART state machine. If UART remains powered during light sleep, transmission resumes after wake. If UART power domain is powered down, unsent data will be lost.

    - ESP_SLEEP_ALWAYS_DISCARD_UART: Discard all unsent data in UART FIFO and enter sleep immediately. Fastest sleep entry and lowest power, but all unsent debug output is lost.

    - ESP_SLEEP_NO_HANDLING: Do not perform any handling on the console UART before sleep. Can be used to disable the default UART handling behavior.

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK on success

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG if handling_mode is not valid

    - ESP_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED if no console UART is configured (CONFIG_ESP_CONSOLE_UART_NUM == -1)
