This application demonstrates the low power mode application.
This application initializes sleep mode with WICED_SLEEP_MODE_NO_TRANSPORT, and configures the WICED_P30 (SW6 BTN1) as device wake up source.
The sleep mode could be configured as WICED_SLEEP_MODE_NO_TRANSPORT or WICED_SLEEP_MODE_TRANSPORT.
Please see the following for sleep mode definition:
WICED_SLEEP_MODE_NO_TRANSPORT - This mode is configured as the application doesn't have HCI transport.
WICED_SLEEP_MODE_TRANSPORT - This mode is configured as the application has HCI tranport and uses device wake line to wake up
After the device start up, the LED D9 is on and LED D10 is blinking for 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, then the device will enter into low power mode.
In low power mode, the LED 9 and LED 10 are off.
User could change the device wake up duration by modifying the APP_WAKEUP_TIME_IN_SECONDS macro (default is 10 seconds) in the low_power_20706.h header file.
User could press SW6 BTN1 to wake up the device while the device is in low power mode. After the device wakes up, then the LED D9 is on and LED D10 is blinking for 10 seconds.
After 10 seconds, the device will enter into low power mode again.
To demonstrate the app, follow these steps:
-
Before programming the CYW920706WCDEVAL board, make sure the SW5 DIP switches are in the following configuration,
Switch State 1 OFF 2 OFF 3 ON 4 OFF 5 OFF 6 OFF This is done so that D9 and D10 can be turned off to measure the power consumption of the chip
-
Program the board and open the PUART serial port. You should now see the debug prints.
-
D9 is on and D10 is blinking, device is in wakeup mode.
-
After 10 seconds, the device should enter sleep mode, both LEDs, D9 and D10, are off.
-
Wake up the device by pressing the user button.
Figure 1. Jumper connections schematic
Input voltage supply to CYW920706WCDEVAL board:
- J3 goes to BT_VDDIO and should be 3.3V
- J9 goes to VBAT (input of internal 1.2V LDO) and should be 3.3V
- J10 goes to VIN_BTLDO2P5 (input of internal 2.5V LDO) and should be 3.3V
The instantaneous current consumed by the device is not a steady-state value, but varies depending on the state of the chip that dynamically changes with power mode transitions, making it practically impossible to measure each individual instantaneous current with a handheld multimeter because the duration of these current bursts is very small.
Therefore, you should use a multimeter that provides the option to set the ”aperture” of the measurement. The aperture is the period ”T” during which the multimeter measures the instantaneous currents, integrates them, and then displays the average current for the period ”T”.
Please remove jumper J3 and connect the multimeter to measure the current in normal mode and low power mode.
Please remove jumper J9 and connect the multimeter to measure the current in normal mode and low power mode.
Please remove jumper J10 and connect the multimeter to measure the current in normal mode and low power mode.
The total chip current consumption is the current consumption of J3 + current consumption of J9 + current consumption of J10 for CYW920706WCDWVAL.
The following table shows the example of CYW920706WCDEVAL current consumption in different modes
| State | J3 Pin | J9 Pin | J10 | Total (J3+J9+J10) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normal Mode (D9 is on D10 is blinking) | ~94 uA (D10 on) or ~26uA (D10 off) | ~6.7 mA | ~8.8 uA | ~6.803 mA |
| Low Power Mode (D9 and D10 are off) | ~0.8 uA | ~0.1 uA | ~0.2 uA | ~1.1 uA |
Note: The values on J3 will fluctuate due to D10 toggling. If desired, that can be eliminated by editing low_power_20706.c to disable the 2 calls to wiced_hal_gpio_set_pin_output() in the seconds_app_timer_cb() function.
BTSDK AIROC™ chips contain the embedded AIROC™ Bluetooth® stack, BTSTACK. Different chips use different versions of BTSTACK, so some assets may contain variant sets of files targeting the different versions in COMPONENT_btstack_vX (where X is the stack version). Applications automatically include the appropriate folder using the COMPONENTS make variable mechanism, and all BSPs declare which stack version should be used in the BSP .mk file, with a declaration such as:
COMPONENTS+=btstack_v1
or:
COMPONENTS+=btstack_v3
Application settings below are common for all BTSDK applications and can be configured via the makefile of the application or passed in via the command line.
Set the BDA (Bluetooth® Device Address) for your device. The address is 6 bytes, for example, 20819A10FFEE. By default, the SDK will set a BDA for your device by combining the 7 hex digit device ID with the last 5 hex digits of the host PC MAC address.
Set to the UART port you want to use to download the application. For example 'COM6' on Windows or '/dev/ttyWICED_HCI_UART0' on Linux or '/dev/tty.usbserial-000154' on macOS. By default, the SDK will auto-detect the port.
For HW debugging, configure ENABLE_DEBUG=1. See the document AIROC™-Hardware-Debugging for more information. This setting configures GPIO for SWD.

BTSDK chips support downloading applications either to FLASH storage or to RAM storage. Some chips support only one or the other, and some chips support both.
If a chip only supports one or the other, this variable is not applicable, applications will be downloaded to the appropriate storage supported by the device.
If a chip supports both FLASH and RAM downloads, the default is to download to FLASH, and the DIRECT_LOAD make variable may be set to 1 in the application makefile (or in the command line make command) to override the default and download to RAM.
Currently, the following chips support both FLASH and RAM download and can set DIRECT_LOAD=1 if desired:
- CYW20835
- CYW20706

To view application traces, there are 2 methods available. Note that the
application needs to configure the tracing options.
- "WICED Peripheral UART" - Open this port on your computer using a serial port
utility such as TeraTerm or PuTTY (usually using 115200 baud rate for non-Mesh apps, and 921600 for Mesh apps).
- "WICED HCI UART" - Open this port on your computer using the Client Control application mentioned above (usually using 3M baud rate). Then run the BTSpy utility mentioned above.
BTSDK BSPs are located in the \mtb_shared\wiced_btsdk\dev-kit\bsp\ folder by default.
The application makefile has a default BSP. See "TARGET". The makefile also has a list of other BSPs supported by the application. See "SUPPORTED_TARGETS". To select an alternative BSP, use Library Manager from the Quick Panel to deselect the current BSP and select an alternate BSP. Then right-click the newly selected BSP and choose 'Set Active'. This will automatically update TARGET in the application makefile.
To create a custom BSP from a BSP template for BTSDK devices, see the following KBA article: KBA238530
The libraries needed by the app can be found in in the mtb_shared\wiced_btsdk\dev-kit\libraries folder. To add an additional library to your application, launch the Library Manager from the Quick Panel to add a library. Then update the makefile variable "COMPONENTS" of your application to include the library. For example:
COMPONENTS += fw_upgrade_lib
