Command Reception

In command reception phase, if no valid command is received for 10 seconds, the bootloader will enter SLEEP mode. To wake up the device from SLEEP mode, a data transaction should happen on the active interface.

Bootloader will be locked before entering Sleep mode to reduce attack surface. Hence after waking up from the low power mode, Bootloader needs to be unlocked again by sending the 256 bit BSL Password (See Unlock Bootloader command ).

Note: Bootloader user LFCLK for the timeout check. If application configures the external clock as the source for LFCLK, the same will be used by BSL, when invoked through Application BSL request
