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

Well, doenst work too. Variable still in value declared in C :evil:

I see the ulp binary code (including the "x" variable definition) being loaded from scratch to the ESP32's RTC_SLOW_MEM memory on each wakeup .
Instead I would use technique shown here to load it only once on hard reset.

Otherwise this variable will be reset on each wakeup.

Yes! but I try to just change variable while all cpu's running and my codes and code by tomtor, not working. When I do this, I will "play with sleep".

Why variables won't changing??? I do right :(

Ah, sorry. Now I see you are printing the value before and after loading the ulp code.
I will look into it sometime later today.

Thank you for attencion! I still working in this. And after, I will try to "blink" some pin's from ulp too, if you can help me later with this, I'd really appreciate it.

Are you sure the compiler (on the main application side) is not optimizing the second load of ulp_x away? If it does, then casting ulp_x to a volatile variable might help.

Well, that did not work, either. When i put volatile prefix, compiler give me a error:

Then, I open ulp_main.h and see "global variables"

Code in ulp_main.h

Code: Select all

// Variable definitions for ESP32ULP
// This file is generated automatically by esp32ulp_mapgen.py utility

#pragma once

extern uint32_t ulp_x;
extern volatile uint32_t ulp_entry;

Then, I changed "extern uint32_t ulp_x;" to "extern volatile uint32_t ulp_x;". Code compile and upload, but variable still not changing. What hell is wrong? :lol: :twisted:

Maybe you should remove global initialization of ulp_x and only set value if it is a cold boot.

I removed declaration in C "extern uint32_t ulp_x" and "make clean". After this, I re-compiled/uploaded and in ulp_main.h still had global variables, maybe is code from assembly. Variable doenst change, AGAIN!!!!! :evil: :cry:

See, before ulp_run, variable = 0. After ulp_run, still = 0.

Code in assembly:

Code: Select all


.global x
	x: .long 0


.global entry
entry:

	move r1, x
	ld r0, r1, 0
	add r0, r0, 5
	st r0,r1,0
	halt
