Wakeup events?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
    Here are a couple of questions regarding idle loop and wakeup events. 
    Appreciate your time.

   What is an idle loop? and  Is it some kind of a while loop?.
   how can i find out where this   loop exists in my code?

   what is done in this loop? usually for power management?

  What are wakeup events that make kernel to come out of an idle loop
  and how do they occur. Are these application specific?
  Or these wake ups are triggered by Interrupts only?

  How does one test if kernel is in idle loop or not and and whats it is doing in there?
  Wondering how-to test idle loop power management? 

  how does one test PM in general? Like to know know to test the Sleep States.
  what sleep state a processor has gone into and how much power saving takes
  place for each state.
 
Regards,
Reid.
