Hi Bernhard, ​It should be possible with some modifications to use a slow clock as the xtimer source. There are a few developers working on improving the low power operation in RIOT. As you discovered, the periph/timer API currently needs to be updated to support non-MHz timer frequencies. I have

[riot-devel] Implementation of a real low power timer for sleep/stop mode (idle thread)

2016-02-15 Thread Bernhard Nägele
Hello everyone, the STM32L053 has a low power timer which could be configured to be clocked by an internal 37kHz oscillator. For real low power applications it would be a good idea to use this timer during sleep/stop mode (for the idle tread). As far as I know the context switching is performed
