Increasing efficiency and reducing power consumption is key for modern embedded systems. To support these demanding needs SEGGER added tickless low power support to its popular embOS real time operating system. The embOS tickless low power feature reduces the power consumption for e.g. battery powered devices. It stops the periodic system tick interrupt during idle periods. Instead of having a timer interrupt for each system tick the timer is reprogrammed to be able to spend as much time as poss
