APF9328
APF9328 alone
Power consumption measurements have been done on an APF9328 board.
The results are available in the APF9328 datasheet.
APF9328 connected to a DevLight board

APF27/APF28/APF51
Linux configuration

Note: now done by default in latest apf kernel configs |
Power management options --->
[*] Power Management support
[*] Power Management Debug Support
[*] Verbose Power Management debugging
[*] Suspend to RAM and standby
[ ] Test suspend/resume and wakealarm during bootup
< > Advanced Power Management Emulation
For the apf27, power management handling is done in arch/arm/mach-mx2/pm_imx27.c
- if you put the APF27 in suspend mode, it could be interesting to be able to wake it with the "User button":
$ make linux-menuconfig
- if you put the APF28 in suspend mode, you can use the power button to wake up the board.
To know if driver is launched
# dmesg | grep Power Power Management for Freescale i.MX2x
Ethernet
for the APF27 the fec_old driver currently do not implement CONFIG_PM stuff...
Power-up
# ifconfig eth0 up
Power-down
# ifconfig eth0 down -->> ~ -400 mW
Other devices
Should comply to suspend/resume device drive mechanism.
List available suspend modes
# cat /sys/power/state standby mem
Enter standby mode (i.MX in Doze mode)
# echo standby > /sys/power/state PM: Syncing filesystems ... done. PM: Preparing system for standby sleep Freezing user space processes ... (elapsed 0.00 seconds) done. Freezing remaining freezable tasks ... (elapsed 0.00 seconds) done. PM: Entering standby sleep Suspending console(s) (use no_console_suspend to debug) imx-uart imx-uart.0: preparing suspend imx-uart imx-uart.2: preparing suspend mxc_nand mxc_nand.0: preparing suspend ...
Enter suspend to memory mode (i.MX in Sleep mode)
# echo mem > /sys/power/state
only an external interrupt can now wake up the i.MX27
 |
Warning: The mode 'mem' is not implemented in the kernel 2.6.35 for the APF28. please use the 'standby' mode |
Only few interrupts can wake up the i.MX51 from this mode. please check the mx51 reference manual for further information.
Wake up the board from sleep mode
- For the APF28 you can use the power button, any active interrupt or the RTC.
- For the APF27 you will have to use an external interrupt.
- For the APF51 the RTc or an external interrupt can wake up the board.
Debugging suspend/resume
- pass no_console_suspend as boot parameter:
BIOS> setenv extrabootargs no_console_suspend BIOS> boot
Known problems
- APF27 USB: usb cause system warning :
