feat: lower CPU freq on idle, add HalPowerManager (#852)
## Summary Continue my experiment from https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/pull/801 This PR add the ability to lower the CPU frequency on extended idle period (currently set to 3 seconds). By default, the esp32c3 CPU is set to 160MHz, and now on idle, we can reduce it to just 10MHz. Note that while this functionality is already provided by [esp power management](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/v4.3/esp32c3/api-reference/system/power_management.html), the current Arduino build lacks of this, and enabling it is just too complicated (not worth the effort compared to this PR) Update: more info in https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/pull/852#issuecomment-3904562827 ## Testing Pre-condition for each test case: the battery is charged to 100%, and is left plugged in after fully charged for an extra 1 hour. The table below shows how much battery is **used** for a given duration: | case / duration | 6 hrs | 12 hrs | | --- | --- | --- | | `delay(10)` | 26% | 48% | | `delay(50)`, PR https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/pull/801 | 20% | Not tested | | `delay(50)` + low CPU freq (This PR) | Not tested | 25% | | `delay(10)` + low CPU freq (1) | Not tested | Not tested | (1) I decided not to test this case because it may not make sense. The problem is that CPU frequency vs power consumption do not follow a linear relationship, see [this](https://www.arrow.com/en/research-and-events/articles/esp32-power-consumption-can-be-reduced-with-sleep-modes) as an example. So, tight loop (10ms) + lower CPU freq significantly impact battery life, because the active CPU time is now much higher compared to the wall time. **So in conclusion, this PR improves ~150% to ~200% battery use time per charge.** The projected battery life is now: ~36-48 hrs of reading time (normal reading, no wifi) --- ### AI Usage While CrossPoint doesn't have restrictions on AI tools in contributing, please be transparent about their usage as it helps set the right context for reviewers.
