The ARM Cortex-M0 processor has been designed to provide low-power advantages over other processors. In this article I will discuss how some of these features can be used to advantage in programming for this architecture.
Cortex-M0 sleep modes
The Cortex-MO processor supports normal sleep and deep sleep modes. The sleep modes can be entered using WFE or WF1 instructions, or using Sleep-on-Exit feature.
