The range is 1MHz - 48 MHz. Note that below 8 MHz there is no USB support.
The frequency will be set to an integer fraction of 48 MHz. And after
changing the frequency, the peripherals like PWM, UART, I2C, SPI have to be
reconfigured.
Current consumption e.g. of the Seeed Xiao board at 1 MHz is about 1.5 mA,
mostly caused by the on-board LED (green LED with 1k resistor at 3.3V).
Changes are:
- Set the feature level for each MCU: CORE features for SAMD21, and EXTRA
features for SAMD51.
- Remove all definitions that are included in the core feature level.
- Keep the default settings for feature level and float, to make the choice
obvious.
It can be enabled/disabled by a configuration switch. The code size
increase is 308 bytes, but it requires RAM space for buffers, the larger
UART object and root pointers.
