If you see each power domain has counters specified. OFF, RET, INA and so on...The count basically keeps incrementing every time
 +
it hits low power state. In the above example, cam_pwrdm (camera power domain) has hit OFF state once. GFX power domain has hit OFF state twice and like wise.

=== PM code in Mainline ===
+
<!--
 
 
Here's a very crude outline of my plans for getting PM branch code to mainline.  Unless otherwise stated, this has only been tested on OMAP3, although some care has been taken to not break OMAP2 in the process.
 
 
 
==== Currently in mainline (2.6.31) ====
 
 
 
* clock framework and infrastructure
 
* clockdomain and powerdomain core
 
* full-chip retention in suspend
 
* full-chip retention in idle
 
 
 
==== merged in 2.6.32 ====
 
 
 
* misc. PM driver updates
 
** SPI
 
* PM debug infrastructure
 
* OMAP PM layer
 
* omap_hwmod/omap_device
 
* twl4030 power support
 
 
 
==== merged in 2.6.33 ====
 
 
 
* off-mode support
 
** context save/restore support
 
 
 
* CPUidle support
 
** including off-mode C-states
 
 
 
* Drivers
 
** I2C driver off-mode support: re-init every transaction
 
 
 
==== Merged in 2.6.34 ====
 
* Large set of fixes from Nokia and others
 
* core GPIO PM support
 
* Misc. fixes
 
 
 
==== What's left in PM branch ====
 
The remaining parts in the PM branch are not ready for upstream in their current form.  This is either due to code quality, basic design problems or not ready to scale for OMAP3430 and OMAP4.
 
 
 
* GPIO off-mode support (waiting GPIO hwmod conversion to rework and push upstream)
 
* OPP layer
 
* SRF
 
* DVFS, CPUfreq
 
* [[OMAP_Power_Management/SmartReflex|SmartReflex]] driver core (deps: OMAP PM layer, OPP layer)
 
 
 
==== Dropped (or to be removed) from PM branch ====
 
* debug observability (debobs): has been dropped from PM branch for 2.6.33/34.  It needs mux updates and misc. cleanups before going upstream.  Since there are no further dependencies on PM branch, a new branch 'pm-debobs' has been created based on mainline where the author (or anyone interested) can do necessary cleanups.

PM branch

The PM branch is a developement branch of the linux-omap kernel for the purposes of developing and stabilizing the PM infrastructure for OMAP and submitting it upstream.

The maintainer of the PM branch is Kevin Hilman.

Features

  • full-chip retention in idle and suspend
  • full-chip OFF in idle and suspend
  • idle PM via CPUidle
  • support for multiple OMAP3/4 boards

The latest, tested PM branch is available as a branch named 'pm' from the linux-omap-pm repository. This branch is also sync'd daily as the 'pm' branch of the main linux-omap repository.


Current version

Supported platforms (OMAP3 only)

Tested on the following platforms using omap3_pm_defconfig with busybox-based initramfs, and tested full-chip RET and OFF in idle and suspend:

Using OMAP PM

Features

By default, the OMAP is configured to hit full-chip retention in suspend.

Suspend/Resume
# echo mem > /sys/power/state

Serial console activity or other configured wakeup sources (keypad, touchscreen) will trigger resume.

Upon resume, you can use the powerdomain state statistics to check whether all states hit the desired state, cf. 'Debug info'

# cat /debug/pm_debug/count

In addition, if any power domains did not hit the desired state, you will see a message on the console.

Enabling system for hitting retention during idle

By default, the UARTs will not automatically idle when unused so they will prevent low-power states during idle. To enable UART idle timeouts with a 5 second timeout:

# 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               

NOTE: the 4th UART is only present on 3630 and OMAP4.

Then, wait for any inactivity timers to expire (such as the 5 second UART timer) and check the powerdomain transition statistics to see that transitions are happening

 # cat /debug/pm_debug/count
Enabling system for hitting OFF

By default, retention is the deepest sleep state attempted. To enable power domain transitions to off mode

# echo 1 > /debug/pm_debug/enable_off_mode

Once again, after a suspend or after some idle time, use the power domain transition stats to check that transitions to off-mode are happening

 # cat /debug/pm_debug/count


Known Problems

  • Zoom2/3: serial console wakeups not working
    • Problem: on suspend, by default the serial driver will disable serial interrupts, thus disabling the GPIO IRQ needed for wakeup.
    • Fix: enable the wakeup feature for the tty used as console:
 # echo enabled > /sys/devices/platform/serial8250.0/tty/ttyS0/power/wakeup 
  • GPIO module-level wakeups not always working
    • Background: GPIO wakeups can happen either via the GPIO module itself (module-level wakeups) or via IO pad wakeups if the CORE powerdomain is inactive, in retention or off.
    • If the IO pad wakeups are not enabled (either because CORE remains on, or because IO pad is not armed) GPIO wakeups may not happen unless the GPIO module-level wakeups are programmed correctly.
    • To ensure GPIO module wakeups are programmed correctly:
      • Enable GPIO IRQ for wakeup GPIO, including ISR. Use request_irq()
      • Ensure GPIO is edge-triggered. Only edge triggered GPIOs are wakeup capable (c.f. omap34xx TRM Sec. 25.5.3.1)
        • the flags argument of request_irq() should have either IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING, IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING or both.
      • Enable GPIO IRQ as wakeup source using enable_irq_wake(gpio_to_irq(<gpio>))
    • NOTE: It is very important that an interrupt handler be configured for the GPIO IRQ, even if it does nothing but return IRQ_HANDLED. This is because without an interrupt handler, the GPIO IRQ event will never be properly cleared and this can prevent the GPIO module from hitting retention or off on the next idle request (c.f. omap34xx TRM Sec. 25.5.3.1).
  • GPIO wakeup works once, but prevents future retention
    • See NOTE just above

Debug info

First, mount the debug filesystem (debugfs)

# mount -t debugfs debugfs /debug

Show powerdomain state statistics and clockdomain active clocks

# cat /debug/pm_debug/count

This will look something like this on OMAP3:

 # cat /debug/pm_debug/count
 cefuse_pwrdm (OFF),OFF:1,RET:0,INA:0,ON:0,RET-LOGIC-OFF:0
 always_on_core_pwrdm (OFF),OFF:1,RET:0,INA:0,ON:0,RET-LOGIC-OFF:0
 l4per_pwrdm (ON),OFF:0,RET:0,INA:0,ON:1,RET-LOGIC-OFF:0,RET-MEMBANK1-OFF:0,RET-MEMBANK2-OFF:0
 l3init_pwrdm (RET),OFF:0,RET:1,INA:0,ON:1,RET-LOGIC-OFF:0,RET-MEMBANK1-OFF:0

 cpu0_pwrdm (ON),OFF:0,RET:0,INA:0,ON:1,RET-LOGIC-OFF:0,RET-MEMBANK1-OFF:0
 tesla_pwrdm (RET),OFF:1,RET:1,INA:0,ON:0,RET-LOGIC-OFF:0,RET-MEMBANK1-OFF:0,RET-MEMBANK2-OFF:0,RET-MEMBANK3-OFF:0
 dss_pwrdm (RET),OFF:0,RET:1,INA:0,ON:1,RET-LOGIC-OFF:0,RET-MEMBANK1-OFF:0
 abe_pwrdm (ON),OFF:1,RET:0,INA:0,ON:1,RET-LOGIC-OFF:0,RET-MEMBANK1-OFF:0,RET-MEMBANK2-OFF:0
 gfx_pwrdm (OFF),OFF:2,RET:0,INA:0,ON:1,RET-LOGIC-OFF:0,RET-MEMBANK1-OFF:0
 core_pwrdm (ON),OFF:0,RET:0,INA:0,ON:1,RET-LOGIC-OFF:0,RET-MEMBANK1-OFF:0,RET-MEMBANK2-OFF:0,RET-MEMBANK3-OFF:0,RET-MEMBANK4-OFF:0,RET-MEMBANK5-OFF:0

If you see each power domain has counters specified. OFF, RET, INA and so on...The count basically keeps incrementing every time it hits low power state. In the above example, cam_pwrdm (camera power domain) has hit OFF state once. GFX power domain has hit OFF state twice and like wise.


UART wakeup and timeout options

By default, each of the on-chip OMAP UARTs are enabled as wakeup sources. In addition, they are configured with a configurable inactivity timer (default 5 seconds) after which the UART clocks are allowed to be gated during idle or suspend.

For example, to disable the wakeup capability of a UART1 (a.k.a ttyO0)

 # echo disabled > /sys/devices/platform/omap/omap-hsuart.0/power/wakeup

And to change the inactivity timer to 10 seconds, instead of the default 5:

 # echo 10 > /sys/devices/platform/omap/omap-hsuart.0/sleep_timeout

Note that you can cat these files under /sys as well to see the current values.

UART PM Debugging Techniques

Debugging problems with the OMAP UART driver wakeup and data transfer when Power Management is enabled can be quite tedious, if one does not have a proper HW setup. An example of a setup (including both HW and SW changes) can be found in the OMAP_UART_pm_debugging page.



Public Power management test framework

Some commonly used power management utilities are listed here which make sense from an OMAP perspective

Cpufreq utils

cpufreq utils for testing dynamic voltage and frequency scaling.

Maemo pm_test

pm-test plugin for Maemo says

 utility which tests that kernel and kernel modules works power management wise

This utility could be used to sanity test the powermanagement impact to a system for suspend/restore and basic power features.
