•
Because of ±3% reading accuracy, the battery may stop charging before
reaching 100% level or it may continue to operate even at 0% level.
•
Battery broadcast event,
EVT_SYSTEM
, is not generated when e355 is in
sleep state. The event is generated after the next wake-up and if the battery is
discharged to a level that is a multiple of 10.
•
OS will not notify critical low battery status when e355 is in any sleep mode.
Eventually power down will happen.
•
Consider checking battery levels at the beginning and end of transaction flow.
Sleepwalking API
•
API
set_backlight_control()
enables sleep walking.
•
This allows application to control display backlight, instead of the OS
controlling display on/off during wake up/sleep.
•
Dark wake is possible, backlights are not automatically turned on.
•
This is used to address application "heartbeats" packets, when simple ACK is
needed with minimal processing.
•
If simple ACK is required, do it and then call
SVC_SLEEP(),
otherwise, turn
the lights back on and process the next event.
