4.2.1 Idle Mode

After the host MCU application calls the ATWINC15x0 driver initialization m2m_wifi_init API, the ATWINC15x0 remains in Idle mode waiting for any command to change the mode or to update the configuration parameters. In this mode, the ATWINC15x0 enters into Power Save mode which disables the IEEE 802.11 radio and all unneeded peripherals and suspends the ATWINC15x0 CPU. If the ATWINC15x0 receives any configuration commands from the host MCU, it updates the configuration, sends back the response to the host MCU, and then returns to the Power Save mode.
