nRF5x System Off demo

Overview

This sample can be used for basic power measurement and as an example of deep sleep on Nordic platforms.

RAM Retention

On nRF52 platforms this also can demonstrate RAM retention. By selecting CONFIG_APP_RETENTION=y state related to number of boots, number of times system off was entered, and total uptime since initial power-on are retained in a checksummed data structure. The POWER peripheral is configured to keep the containing RAM section powered while in system-off mode.

Requirements

This application uses nRF51 DK or nRF52 DK board for the demo.
