3.3.11 SOF Detection and Wakeup Configuration on SAM D21 Curiosity Nano Evaluation Kit
Description
This application demonstrates the USART communication in low power modes (sleep and wakeup modes) using SAM D21 Curiosity Nano Evaluation Kit. The host (PC) sends a data to the client (SAM D21 Curiosity Nano Evaluation Kit), causing it to wake up from the sleep mode and displays the data sent by the host. Once the data is displayed, the client goes back to the sleep mode and waits for the next data to be sent by the host.

Software/Tools Used
This project has been verified to work with the following versions of software tools:
Refer Project Manifest present in harmony-manifest-success.yml under the project folder firmware/src/config/sam_d21_cnano.
- Refer the Release Notes to know the MPLAB X IDE and MCC Plugin version.
- Any Serial Terminal application, such as Tera Term terminal application.
Because Microchip regularly updates tools, occasionally issue(s) could be discovered while using the newer versions of the tools. If the project does not seem to work and version incompatibility is suspected. It is recommended to double-check and use the same versions that the project was tested with. To download original version of MPLAB Harmony v3 packages, refer to document How to Use the MPLAB Harmony v3 Project Manifest Feature (DS90003305).
