[PATCH 00/11] ARM: bcm2835: Implement initial S2Idle for Raspberry Pi

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

 



This series implement the initial Suspend-To-Idle support for
the Raspberry Pi, which was a long time on my TODO list [1]. The
changes allow to suspend and resume the Raspberry Pi via debug UART.
The focus is on the BCM2835 SoC, because it's less complex than its
successors and have enough documentation.

The series is a loose collection of fixes and improvements.
So cherry-picking should be fine.

Test steps:
- configure debug console (pl011 or mini UART) as wakeup source
- send system to idle state

  echo freeze > /sys/power/state

- wakeup system by console traffic

The implementation isn't perfect and contains workarounds like
patch 4 and 9. So there is still room for improvements, but
at least the system won't freeze forever as before [2].

Here are some figures for the Raspberry Pi 1 (without any
devices connected except of a debug UART):

running but CPU idle = 1.67 W
suspend to idle      = 1.33 W

The series has been tested on the following platforms:
Raspberry Pi 1 B
Raspberry Pi 3 A+
Raspberry Pi 3 B+

Known issues:
- currently it's not possible to power down the USB domain [3]
- there seems to be an issue with the DWC2 suspend handling [4]
