Entering stop mode on STM32L011 only works first time

I have a very typical application here - long periods of minimal current consumption (15 minutes to 24 hours sleep duration) with short periods of activity in between. In my particular case, this is mostly ADC and GPIO manipulation (which explains some of the extra initialisation in my code which is unused) but for this example, I am just trying to achieve the following:

  1. Turn LED on
  2. Delay 1000ms (using HAL delay - don't care about efficiency here)
  3. Turn LED off
  4. Enter Stop mode
  5. Have RTC Wakeup Timer return me to Step 1. after 5 seconds

So far this works well for the first loop through - I see the LED turn on, turn off after 1000ms, stay off for 5 seconds (current draw drops to approx. 2uA) and then turn on again. However, the LED never turns off again. I can't use SWD to debug this as the board seems to never enter Stop mode with SWD debugging active.

My code (partially generated by STM32CubeMX and partially from reading docs) is as below:

}

Main.h simply maps GPIO pins to the names used in the code - happy to post that if it's useful. Can anyone point out where I am going wrong here? Or suggest a helpful debug approach? (given that I sadly can't do much register poking with SWD ruining my ability to go into sleep mode)

Using a current shunt amplifier and an oscilloscope, I checked the current draw over time. It's very easy to see when the device enters stop mode this way (and trigger from this). I can see from the scope trace that the device only enters stop mode once, that is it doesn't enter a second time and then immediately return.

Hi - Just adding the function is not enough, you have to enable the RTC interrupt in your code (look at the example Nesrine provided on how to do that).

But if I'm correct, then how come it works once ? It should stay in sleep forever...

Hi

stefandz

,

Could you please have a look this example :

STM32Cube_FW_L0_V1.8.0\Projects\STM32L011K4-Nucleo\Examples\PWR\PWR_STOP_RTC

it shows how to enter Stop mode and wake up from this mode by using the RTC wakeup timer event connected to an interrupt.

Hi

ELMHIRI.Syrine

‌ - thanks for replying. I can get this example working without problems - however I still can't work out why my program doesn't function as expected. From what I can see, my code should work fine, and it does the first time around. I am trying to work out what causes the second entry to stop mode to fail.

If you could shed any light on that I would be most appreciative.

Hello folks,

I'm having a very similar problem, however with a custom board for the STM32L071KZU, I have implemented the fixes as specified, however the device does not trigger a lower power sleep even once, never mind repeatebily.

Is there an errata I am missing? (I checked here: 

http://www.st.com/content/ccc/resource/technical/document/errata_sheet/23/3a/e1/02/6f/b6/49/32/DM00148860.pdf/files/DM00148860.pdf/jcr:content/translations/en.DM00148860.pdf

 

Full Code is here (compiled code included in case my compiler is somehow misbehaving...) :

Hi,

I'm trying to find:

STM32Cube_FW_L0_V1.8.0\Projects\STM32L011K4-Nucleo\Examples\PWR\PWR_STOP_RTC

We did test version 1.9.0 of the project and it appears to hang...compiled with Keil as is, for Nucleo-L053R8.

(Assuming that 1.8.0 runs as mentioned in this thread.)

Thanks!
