Hi there,
SO the E-Paper is getting better every year, more support for the partial refresh and the speed of the display updates is very reasonable and fast.
This video demonstrates the code that is included and this thread will be expanded to include the nRF54L15A and the New nRF54LM20A Xiao family MCU’s the Newest unit should get us even lower Sleep current numbers with it’s PMIC new design.
9-12 uA. Sleep current baseline for the nRF52840 parts.. The code has a few of the obvious power down items and is compliable for both BSP’s 1.1.3 and 2.9.3.
note: I choose the non-embed for For PPK II low-power testing, use Seeed nRF52 Boards 1.1.13 as your primary benchmark.
It is the better choice here because it has less framework overhead than the mbed core and gives more direct, predictable control over the nRF52840 hardware. The mbed 2.9.3 package brings a larger runtime, USB serial infrastructure, RTOS/ticker activity, and more background initialization, which makes it harder to determine whether a high sleep current comes from your sketch or the core.
- Hibernate the SSD1681.
- Perform the RGB signoff
- Check the PPKII for values.

* 200 Ă— 200 pixels
*
* Controller:
* SSD1681
*
* GxEPD2 panel class:
* GxEPD2_154_D67

***************************************************************************
*
* DEMONSTRATION SEQUENCE
*
* 1. Initialize the SSD1681 e-paper display.
*
* 2. Clear the panel to white.
*
* 3. Show the system-information screen:
*
* SYSTEM
* MCU INSTALLED
* XIAO nRF52840
* SENSE
* EPD 1.54 inch
* SSD1681 / D67
* 200 x 200
*
* 4. Show the HELLO SEEED WORLD screen.
*
* 5. Perform a 30-count partial-refresh countdown.
*
* 6. Show the GOING TO SLEEP screen.
*
* 7. Perform a flashing 10-count partial-refresh countdown.
*
* 8. Show the final retained SLEEP screen.
*
* 9. Put the SSD1681 controller into hibernate.
*
* 10. Perform the visible RGB signoff:
*
* RED
* WHITE
* BLUE
*
* 11. Turn off the onboard IMU supply.
*
* 12. Stop the e-paper SPI interface.
*
* 13. Force the active-low RGB LED fully off.
*
* 14. Enter nRF52840 System OFF.
*
* The final e-paper image remains visible without continuous display power.
*
***************************************************************************
*
* LOW-POWER DESIGN NOTES
*
* This master build intentionally uses a minimal shutdown path.
*
* The nRF52840 automatically shuts down its internal peripherals when
* System OFF is entered successfully. Manually disabling every timer,
* interrupt, UART, USB block, clock and peripheral was found to introduce
* additional failure modes and was not required.
*
* The final shutdown therefore handles only the external hardware states
* that matter:
*
* - SSD1681 hibernate
* - e-paper interface pins
* - onboard IMU power
* - microphone-related pins
* - battery-measurement control pin
* - onboard RGB LED
* - MCU System OFF
*
***************************************************************************
*
* ONBOARD QSPI FLASH NOTE
*
* The XIAO nRF52840 Sense includes onboard QSPI flash.
*
* A direct custom-instruction experiment was previously used to send the
* flash command:
*
* 0xB9 = Deep Power-Down
*
* Although the command appeared to execute, manipulating the QSPI peripheral
* during final shutdown caused the tested assembly to remain near 9–18 mA
* instead of entering the expected microamp System OFF state.
*
* The QSPI flash deep-power-down routine is therefore deliberately omitted
* from this gold-standard build.
*
* Leaving the onboard flash untouched produced the proven approximately
* 9.99 µA final measurement.
*
***************************************************************************
*
* WAKE BEHAVIOR
*
* This sketch does not configure a GPIO wake source.
*
* After entering System OFF, restart the board using:
*
* - the XIAO RESET button, or
* - a complete power cycle
