ESP32-S2 ULP coprocessor instruction set
========================================

This document provides details about the instructions used by ESP32-S2 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-S2 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 certain number of clock cycles to fetch each instruction, plus certain number of cycles to execute it, depending on the instruction. See description of each instruction below for details on the execution time.

Instruction fetch time is:

- 2 clock cycles — for instructions following ALU and branch instructions.
- 4 clock cycles — in other cases.

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.


Difference between ESP32 ULP and ESP32-S2 ULP Instruction sets
--------------------------------------------------------------

Compare to the ESP32 ULP coprocessor, the ESP-S2 ULP coprocessor has extended instruction set. The ESP32-S2 ULP is not binary compatible with ESP32 ULP, 
but the assembled program that was written for the ESP32 ULP will also work on the ESP32-S2 ULP after rebuild.

**JUMPR** – Jump to a relative offset (condition based on R0)
-------------------------------------------------------------

**Syntax**
   **JUMPR**        *Step, Threshold, Condition*

**Operands**
   - *Step*          – relative shift from current position, in bytes
   - *Threshold*     – threshold value for branch condition
   - *Condition*:
      - *EQ* (equal) – jump if value in R0 == threshold 
      - *LT* (less than) – jump if value in R0 < threshold
      - *LE* (less or equal) – jump if value in R0 <= threshold
      - *GT* (greater than) – jump if value in R0 > threshold 
      - *GE* (greater or equal) – jump if value in R0 >= threshold 

**Cycles**
  Conditions *EQ*, *GT* and *LT*: 2 cycles to execute, 2 cycles to fetch next instruction

  Conditions *LE* and *GE* are implemented in the assembler using two **JUMPR** instructions::

    // JUMPR target, threshold, LE is implemented as:
    
             JUMPR target, threshold, EQ
             JUMPR target, threshold, LT
 
    // JUMPR target, threshold, GE is implemented as:

             JUMPR target, threshold, EQ
             JUMPR target, threshold, GT

  Therefore the execution time will depend on the branches taken: either 2 cycles to execute + 2 cycles to fetch, or 4 cycles to execute + 4 cycles to fetch.

**Description**
   The instruction makes a jump to a relative address if condition is true. Condition is the result of comparison of R0 register value and the threshold value.

**Examples**::

  1:pos:    JUMPR       16, 20, GE   // Jump to address (position + 16 bytes) if value in R0 >= 20

  2:        // Down counting loop using R0 register
            MOVE        R0, 16       // load 16 into R0
    label:  SUB         R0, R0, 1    // R0--
            NOP                      // do something
            JUMPR       label, 1, GE // jump to label if R0 >= 1



**JUMPS** – Jump to a relative address (condition based on stage count)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

   - *Step*       – relative shift from current position, in bytes
   - *Threshold*  – threshold value for branch condition
   - *Condition*:
       - *EQ* (equal) – jump if value in stage_cnt == threshold
       - *LT* (less than) –  jump if value in stage_cnt < threshold
       - *LE* (less or equal) - jump if value in stage_cnt <= threshold
       - *GT* (greater than) –  jump if value in stage_cnt > threshold
       - *GE* (greater or equal) — jump if value in stage_cnt >= threshold

**Cycles**
  2 cycles to execute, 2 cycles to fetch next instruction::

    // JUMPS target, threshold, EQ is implemented as:

             JUMPS next, threshold, LT
             JUMPS target, threshold, LE
    next:

    // JUMPS target, threshold, GT is implemented as:
    
             JUMPS next, threshold, LE
             JUMPS target, threshold, GE
    next:

  Therefore the execution time will depend on the branches taken: either 2 cycles to execute + 2 cycles to fetch, or 4 cycles to execute + 4 cycles to fetch.


**Description**
    The instruction makes a jump to a relative address if condition is true. Condition is the result of comparison of count register value and threshold value.

**Examples**::

   1:pos:    JUMPS     16, 20, EQ     // Jump to (position + 16 bytes) if stage_cnt == 20

   2:        // Up counting loop using stage count register
             STAGE_RST                  // set stage_cnt to 0
     label:  STAGE_INC  1               // stage_cnt++
             NOP                        // do something

    label:  STAGE_INC  1               // stage_cnt++
            NOP                        // do something

    label:  STAGE_DEC  1             // stage_cnt--;
            NOP                      // do something

  No operands

**Cycles**
  2 cycles to execute

**WAKE** – Wake up the chip
---------------------------

**Syntax**
   **WAKE**

**Operands**
  No operands

**Cycles**
  2 cycles to execute, 4 cycles to fetch next instruction

**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.



**WAIT** – wait some number of cycles
-------------------------------------

**Syntax**

                                   // and store result to R1


**ADC** – do measurement with ADC
---------------------------------

**Syntax**

  - **ADC**   *Rdst, Sar_sel, Mux, 0* — deprecated form

**Operands**
  - *Rdst* – Destination Register R[0..3], result will be stored to this register
  - *Sar_sel* – Select ADC: 0 = SARADC1, 1 = SARADC2

  This instruction can access registers in RTC_CNTL, RTC_IO, SENS, and RTC_I2C peripherals. Address of the the register, as seen from the ULP, can be calculated from the address of the same register on the PeriBUS1 as follows::

    addr_ulp = (addr_peribus1 - DR_REG_RTCCNTL_BASE) / 4

**Examples**::

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)
