Changing max_cpu_freq will 100% couse wifi: bcn_timout,ap_probe_send_start

[ZHDX227]

Hi,

When switch the max_cpu_freq between RTC_CPU_FREQ_80M and RTC_CPU_FREQ_240M ,

The wifi will 100% reset , all TCP connections lost.

[0;32mI (9085) pm_esp32: Frequency switching config: CPU_MAX: 80, APB_MAX: 80, APB_MIN: 80, Light sleep: DISABLED[0m
cfg.max_cpu_freq changed to 1 , result 0
I (15041) wifi: bcn_timout,ap_probe_send_start
I (17544) wifi: ap_probe_send over, resett wifi status to disassoc
I (17545) wifi: state: run -> init (100)
I (17546) wifi: pm stop, total sleep time: 5687366 us / 15097450 us
I (17550) wifi: n:2 0, o:2 1, ap:2 1, sta:2 1, prof:2
I (17982) wifi: n:2 1, o:2 0, ap:2 1, sta:2 1, prof:2
I (17983) wifi: state: init -> auth (b0)
I (17986) wifi: state: auth -> assoc (0)
I (17991) wifi: state: assoc -> run (10)
I (18006) wifi: connected with NC-BGN, channel 2
I (18007) wifi: pm start, type: 1
[0;32mI (18721) event: sta ip: 192.168.1.2, mask: 255.255.255.0, gw: 192.168.1.1[0m

The code like this

extern "C"{

#include "esp_pm.h"

esp_pm_config_esp32_t cfg;
void _cpu_cfg()
{
cfg.min_cpu_freq = cfg.max_cpu_freq; //RTC_CPU_FREQ_XTAL;
esp_err_t err=esp_pm_configure(&cfg);
printf("cfg.max_cpu_freq changed to %d , result %d\r\n",(int)cfg.max_cpu_freq,(int)err);
}
extern void _cpu_min()
{
cfg.max_cpu_freq = RTC_CPU_FREQ_80M;
//cfg.light_sleep_enable=true; //result 262 ESP_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED
_cpu_cfg();
}
extern void _cpu_max()
{
cfg.max_cpu_freq = RTC_CPU_FREQ_240M;
//cfg.light_sleep_enable=false;
_cpu_cfg();
}
}


_cpu_min() or _cpu_max() are called in cpu core 1



Regards,
Thanks.

HI @ZHDX227,

Sorry for late response.

I just can't reproduce this issue for 10 hours test with a Mercury soft-AP. My reproduce method:
1. Configure ESP32 as STA mode
2. Connects ESP32 to a Mercury AP
3. Change CPU core#1 frequency between 80M and 240M every 5 seconds

Need you help to provide following information:
1. The AP type to which ESP32 STA is connected
2. How much time is needed in order to reproduce this issue
3. Does this issue happen on a specific ESP32 device or every ESP32 devices you have

Hi,

I just do some tests.

It's ONLY happend when use

esp_wifi_set_mode(WIFI_MODE_APSTA)

Environment :

Board : DevKitC v4, ESP-WROVER-B

CONFIG - Default , and turn's on the Power Management

OK, I will try to reproduce it again
