Did you allow the UARTs to idle: # UART timeouts: omap-serial (4th UART only on OMAP36xx and OMAP4) echo 5 > /sys/devices/platform/omap/omap_uart.0/sleep_timeout echo 5 > /sys/devices/platform/omap/omap_uart.1/sleep_timeout echo 5 > /sys/devices/platform/omap/omap_uart.2/sleep_timeout echo 5 > /sys/devices/platform/omap/omap_uart.3/sleep_timeout I just tested this using today's linux-omap master branch (+ merged v3.1-rc4 which includes a fix for a bootup problem.) I booted my Beagle XM with a busybox rootfs on MMC and it worked fine for me. I don't have powertop on the rootfs, but I manually dumped the sysfs files that powertop reads, so I can see the state times. After allowing the UARTs to idle, I see: # cd /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle # cat state?/time 43531831 8997 157215 0 3467925 0 0 Kevin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
