-DDEBUG compile flag for sd_power_system_off

[Wavecake]

Should the DEBUG compiler flag be removed before flashing a board that should enter sd_power_system_off?  I've seen some troubleshooting guides mention that Debug mode can increase current consumption.  I'm not sure if this flag actually forces debug mode.  My understanding is that it just makes the compiler include debug information.  I'm troubleshooting my sd_power_system_off current consumption now andI just wanted to double check.

Hi,

The debug flag affects error handling,etc to make debugging of the code easier but won't impact current consumption in System OFF. The troubleshooting guides were probably referring to the chips debug mode. The chip will only enter emulated system OFF (Emulated System OFF mode) when the debug interface is enabled. What is the current draw that you see? The current consumption in debug mode should be around 3 mA.
