RT1060 System Off

Browse source code on GitHub

Overview

This sample can be used for basic power measurement and as an example of soft off on NXP i.MX RT platforms. The functional behavior is:

  • Busy-wait for 2 seconds

  • Turn the system off after enabling wakeup through a button press, and additionally set an alarm 10 seconds in the future to wake up the processor

A power monitor will be able to distinguish among these states.

Requirements

This application uses MIMXRT1060_EVK or MIMXRT1060_EVKB for the demo.

Building, Flashing and Running

west build -b mimxrt1060_evk samples/boards/nxp/mimxrt1060_evk/system_off
west flash

Running:

  1. Open UART terminal.

  2. Power Cycle Device.

  3. Device will turn on and idle for 2 seconds

  4. Device will turn itself off using deep sleep state 1. Press SW 5 to wake the device and restart the application as if it had been powered back on. Alternatively, wait 10 seconds for the SNVS RTC alarm to fire and wake the device up automatically.
