Felipe Moura d31609d8dd esp32s3/esp32s3_idle.c: unwedge the PM state machine after the first wakeup
up_idlepm() put the domain back in PM_NORMAL with pm_changestate() but
left its local oldstate holding whatever it was before sleeping, usually
PM_STANDBY.  The pm_checkstate() below then returned PM_STANDBY again,
the "newstate != oldstate" test compared PM_STANDBY against a stale
PM_STANDBY, and the whole block was skipped -- including the
esp_pmstandby() call that is the only thing in here that ever sleeps.

So after the very first wakeup the board reported PM_NORMAL essentially
forever, and light-slept only when something else happened to perturb
oldstate, such as an application taking and releasing a PM_IDLE wakelock
around a transmission window.

Measured on the esp32s3-xiao collar before this fix: 4.1 s of actual
light sleep in 2 h of near-total idleness, a 1780:1 awake-to-asleep
ratio.  After it: ~13.5% of wall time asleep, thousands of sleeps, no
storms.

The dead "newstate = PM_NORMAL" assignment that used to sit here was
presumably meant to be this; it is overwritten by pm_checkstate() a few
lines below and never had any effect.

Note that fixing this is what exposed two further bugs that had been
dormant behind a board that never slept: the systimer double-count in
esp_pmstandby(), and I2C transfers being cut in half by sleep.  Both are
fixed in their own commits.

Apache NuttX is a real-time operating system (RTOS) with an emphasis on standards compliance and small footprint. Scalable from 8-bit to 64-bit microcontroller environments, the primary governing standards in NuttX are POSIX and ANSI standards. Additional standard APIs from Unix and other common RTOSs (such as VxWorks) are adopted for functionality not available under these standards, or for functionality that is not appropriate for deeply-embedded environments (such as fork()).

For brevity, many parts of the documentation will refer to Apache NuttX as simply NuttX.

Getting Started

First time on NuttX? Read the Getting Started guide! If you don't have a board available, NuttX has its own simulator that you can run on terminal.

Documentation

You can find the current NuttX documentation on the Documentation Page.

Alternatively, you can build the documentation yourself by following the Documentation Build Instructions.

The old NuttX documentation is still available in the Apache wiki.

Supported Boards

NuttX supports a wide variety of platforms. See the full list on the Supported Platforms page.

If you wish to contribute to the NuttX project, read the Contributing guidelines for information on Git usage, coding standard, workflow and the NuttX principles.
