Issues Setting DA16200 SoC to DPM Low Power Mode in IoT Project

Hey guys, I am using the DA16200MOD-DEVKT-P development kit for a low-power IoT project. The objective is to implement a Wi-Fi connection that maintains ultra-low power consumption by utilizing the Dynamic Power Management (DPM) feature of the DA16200 SoC. I attempted to set the module into DPM low-power mode (LPM) to receive data from an Access Point (AP) only, without actively transmitting.

Here’s the code snippet used to enable DPM LPM mode

#include "da16200.h"

void setup() {
    da16200_init();
    da16200_connect_to_ap("SSID", "password");
    da16200_set_power_mode(DPM_LPM);

    if (da16200_get_power_mode() == DPM_LPM) {
        printf("DPM Low Power Mode enabled.n");
    } else {
        printf("Failed to set DPM Low Power Mode.n");
    }
}

void loop() {
}

While testing, the module did not enter the DPM LPM mode as expected and continued to consume higher power than anticipated. The error message received was:

Error: Failed to set DPM Low Power Mode. Current mode: DPM Fully Functional Mode (FFM)

Steps I have taken to resolve the error

I have verified the initial power mode configuration to ensure the device was not in an active communication state.

Checked the `Wi-Fi` module documentation and ensured that the `AP` was not transmitting any active communication requests to the `DA16200` module.

Attempted to use the `Wi-Fi IoT Power Profiler` tool to confirm power consumption metrics.

But despite my troubleshooting steps, the module continued to remain in `DPM Fully Functional Mode (FFM)`. The error persisted with the prompt

Error: Unable to transition to DPM Low Power Mode. Ensure no active data sessions or incorrect AP configurations.

What additional steps or configurations should I check to resolve this issue and successfully enable the `DPM` `LPM` mode on the `DA16200MOD-DEVKT-P` development kit?
