Joakim, Matthew,
Thanks for your help.
@Joakim: I cloned your repository, I checkout the pr/kinetis-pm branch and
rebase from master
Then I turned ENABLE_LEDS 1 in pm.c to facilitate debugging.
I build a sample application with a very simple main() loop:
while (1){
printf("*** pause 5s ***\n");
xtimer_sleep(5);
}
With this setup, I could run the above code, but the MCU is idling
in KINETIS_PM_WAIT mode
(Lowest power saving ?).
Maybe I missed something in my Makefiles or includes (llwu, pm_layered ?)
to enable the advanced power saving modes ?
Are there changes to make on the board I use (pba-d-01-kw2x) too ?
Do you have a test application I can use as a reference implementation ?
Thanks
Olivier Fauchon
