1. Overview
⚠Notes:
•Please make sure that correct BIN (/ESP8266_NONOS_SDK/bin/at) is already in the chip (ESP8266) before using
the AT commands listed in this document.
•AT firmware uses priority levels 0 and 1 of system_os_task, so only one task of priority 2 is allowed to be set up by
the user.
•AT returns messages below to show status of the ESP8266 Station’s Wi-Fi connection.
‣Wi-Fi󰲧CONNECTED: Wi-Fi is connected.
‣Wi-Fi󰲧GOT󰲧IP: the ESP8266 Station has got the IP from the AP.
‣Wi-Fi󰲧DISCONNECT: Wi-Fi is disconnected.

Notes
1. The configuration changes will be saved in the user parameter area in the flash, and will still be valid
when the chip is powered on again.
2. The use of flow control requires the support of hardware:
‣MTCK is UART0 CTS
‣MTDO is UART0 RTS
3. The range of baud rates supported: 110~115200*40.

3. Basic AT Commands
3.2.8. AT+UART_CUR—Current UART Configuration; Not Saved in the Flash
Command
Query Command:
AT+UART_CUR?
Set Command:
AT+UART_CUR=<baudrate>,<databits>,<stop
bits>,<parity>,<flow󰲧control>
Response
+UART_CUR:<baudrate>,<databits>,<stopbits>,<pari
ty>,<flow󰲧control>
OK
OK
Note
Command AT+UART_CUR? will return the actual value of
UART configuration parameters, which may have
allowable errors compared with the set value because of
the clock division.
For example, if the UART baud rate is set as 115200,
the baud rate returned by using command AT+UART_CUR?
could be 115273.

3. Basic AT Commands
3.2.10. AT+SLEEP—Configures the Sleep Modes
3.2.11. AT+WAKEUPGPIO—Configures a GPIO to Wake ESP8266 up from Light-sleep Mode
Command
Query Command:
AT+SLEEP?
Set Command:
AT+SLEEP=<sleep󰲧mode>
Response
+SLEEP:<sleep󰲧mode>
OK
OK
or
ERROR
Parameter
<sleep󰲧mode>:
‣0: disables sleep mode
‣1: Light-sleep mode
‣2: Modem-sleep mode
Notes
This command can only be used in Station mode. Modem-sleep is the default sleep mode.
Example
AT+SLEEP=0
Command
AT+WAKEUPGPIO=<enable>,<trigger_GPIO>,<trigger_level>[,<awake_GPIO>,<awake_level>]
Response
OK
Parameter
•<enable>
‣0: ESP8266 can NOT be woken up from light-sleep by GPIO.
‣1: ESP8266 can be woken up from light-sleep by GPIO.
•<trigger_GPIO>
‣Sets the GPIO to wake ESP8266 up; range of value: [0, 15].
•<trigger_level>
‣0: The GPIO wakes up ESP8266 on low level.
‣1: The GPIO wakes up ESP8266 on high level.
•[<awake_GPIO>]
‣Optional; this parameter is used to set a GPIO as a flag of ESP8266’s being awoken form
Light-sleep; range of value: [0, 15].
•[<awake_level>]
‣Optional;
‣0: The GPIO is set to be low level after the wakeup process.
‣1: The GPIO is set to be high level after the wakeup process.
Notes
•The value of <trigger_GPIO> and <awake_GPIO> in the command should not be the same.
•After being woken up by <trigger_GPIO> from Light-sleep, when the ESP8266 attempts to
sleep again, it will check the status of the <trigger_GPIO>:
‣if it is still in the wakeup status, the EP8266 will enter Modem-sleep mode instead;
‣if it is NOT in the wakeup status, the ESP8266 will enter Light-sleep mode.
