Does anyone know if it is possible to use a UART receive interrupt to wake up the processor from sleep mode? Or should I just try to tie the UART transmission wire to some external interrupt pin elsewhere on the processor?

Thanks.

Hi SJackson,

It's not possible to use UART receive interrupt to wake up the processor from sleep mode.

In fact, sleep mode can be triggered by RTC Alarm, external interrupt via wake-up unit (WIU) or externel reset.

with best regards,
