Right; if no DMA is pending, then the HSB matrix clock can be idled, DRAM put into self-refresh, and most peripherals can issue wakeups ... AP7 "Frozen" state, very analagous to AT91 "standby" on Linux. UARTs and GPIOs can wake. Deeper sleep states -- "standby" with clocks running, "stop" with all except 32K (and RTC) off, "static" with no clocks at all -- can only wake from WAKE_N and external interrupts; and RTC except in "static". I suspect "stop" and "static" might want to use the on-chip SRAMs so they don't need to change DRAM timings while they fiddle with clocks. The closest analogue to the AT91 support would map /sys/power/state: standby --> to AP7 "Frozen" mem --> to AP7 "Stop" Except that there could be no GPIO wakeups from "mem" ... so the $SUBJECT patch wouldn't be useful on AVR32 (just AT91), unless USARTn.RXD is wired up to one of those special wake-capable pins (extremely board-specific). > There's a separate WAKE_N pin that is completely asynchronous, so with > some external logic, we can probably wake up the CPU all the way from > Static mode if a given input state is present.

I'd think the support of any "deeper" state for "mem" sleep would not be entirely board specific ... when the RTC alarm is set, any board should be able to use states other than "static". But otherwise, no board could enter those states unless WAKE_N or an external IRQ are doing something useful (like being hooked up to a button). Matching those few "deep wake" events to a given device would imply board-specific glue code. > So on AP7000, I think we'll just need to keep clocking the USART and > let it generate the interrupt that wakes up the rest of the system. For "standby" sleep state, yes -- map to at most AVR32 "Frozen" state. That'd be a good first step for PM support. - Dave -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
