OPENMV Bug: Alif lightsleep doesn't work anymore. #19190

Description

@kwagyeman

Port, board and/or hardware

openmv-ae3

MicroPython version

Latest.

Reproduction

Call machine.lightsleep(). No way to wakeup.

Expected behaviour

Call machine.lightsleep() and you should be able to wakeup on RTC, button press, or dual core messaging.

Observed behaviour

When machine.lightsleep() is called the system dies. Wakeup from another core doesn't work either:

#
# Dual-Core Wake-on-Speech Example
#
# This example puts the HP core into low-power lightsleep while the HE core
# continuously listens for keywords with MicroSpeech. When the HE core hears
# "Yes", the inter-core message wakes the HP core, which blinks an LED before
# going back to sleep.
#
# The built-in MicroSpeech model only recognizes the keywords "Yes" and "No".

import time
import openamp
import machine
from machine import LED


label = None


def task_callback(src_addr, data):
    global label
    label = data.decode()


@openamp.async_remote(task_callback)
async def task1(ept):
    from ml.apps import MicroSpeech
    speech = MicroSpeech(gain_db=24)
    while True:
        l, scores = speech.listen(timeout=0, threshold=0.70)
        if l:
            ept.send(l)


# Start the HE core.
rproc = openamp.RemoteProc(0x80320000)
rproc.start()

led = LED("LED_GREEN")

while True:
    if label == "Yes":
        for i in range(5):
            led.on()
            time.sleep_ms(250)
            led.off()
            time.sleep_ms(250)
        label = None
    # Sleep the HP core. The HE core keeps listening, and the inter-core
    # message from ept.send() wakes the HP core.
    machine.lightsleep()
