Hi,
I'd like to do some tests with cpuidle on my panda board but i'm
facing some issues:
Originally, i'd like to use the Linaro developer image which uses the
landing team branch tilt-linux-linaro-3.1 but the omap4 cpuidle driver
only works when cpu1 is off whereas i'd like to do some test with both
cpus.
The android kernel has got a cpuidle driver which can enter C-states
when both cpus are running and I was wondering if there is a plan to
merge this driver into the tilt-linux-linaro-x.x branch ? maybe in 3.2
?
Then, when I'm testing the landing-panda-11.12-release android image
on my panda board revA1, the cpuidle is using only C0 state (WFI)
according to cpuidle stats.
My test sequence:
prevent suspend with: echo qwerty > /sys/power/wake_lock
let android enter the early_suspend mode
get cpuidle statistics on cpu0 et cpu1 in cpuidle/stateX/time : only
state0 time is different from 0
Is it a normal behavior ?
Regards,
Vincent
