Hello!
Can you point out a similar example, but for ULP RISC-V with ESP-S3?
I am looking for a way to notify the active task on the main processor from ULP code (not in deep sleep).

@MacWyznawca for ULP RISC-V on ESP32-S3

you replace:

    err = rtc_isr_register(&ulp_isr, (void*) ulp_isr_sem, RTC_CNTL_SAR_INT_ST_M);
    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(err);
    REG_SET_BIT(RTC_CNTL_INT_ENA_REG, RTC_CNTL_ULP_CP_INT_ENA_M);

with

    err = rtc_isr_register(&ulp_isr, (void*) ulp_isr_sem, RTC_CNTL_COCPU_INT_ST_M);
    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(err);
    REG_SET_BIT(RTC_CNTL_INT_ENA_REG, RTC_CNTL_COCPU_INT_ST_M);

and use ulp_riscv_wakeup_main_processor(); function in the riscv application to trigger the interrupt.

Thanks @darthcloud!

Thanks. The rtc_isr_register seems to take one additional flags argument and is a private function these days. #include "driver/rtc_cntl.h" issues a deprecation warning. Is this still ok to use?

@mickeyl Did you find another solution?

Seems to work fine these days. Espressif even added API for it in espressif/esp-idf@a67d15f#diff-62c3d8a0af115257113c79a645b4aa54908b590d97dd7473f705478b8bbd07c6
