PM wakeup using RTC

This example demonstrates entering the low power modes and exiting it using the RTC.

Description

The PM Peripheral library is used to enter into the low power modes, and uses the RTC timer to wake up the device from the low power mode. The RTC peripheral is run continuously, including in the device’s low-power sleep modes. The RTC counter value is continuously compared with the Compare registers and generates compare match interrupt when compare match occurs to wake up the device.

  4. LED is blinked continuously using the SysTick Timer
  5. The console displays the following message

    output

  6. Select ‘a’ or ‘b’ to enter the low power mode (LED is turned off when the device enters low power mode)
  7. When the device wakes up on RTC compare match interrupt, the LED starts blinking and the console displays the following message

    output

The following table provides the details of LED
