4.6. Android Low Power Support

This application note contains steps to enable low power support in BSP.

Supported low power mode:

1. Suspend to RAM (S2R): All power domains are off except for wake-up domain that has wake-up co-processor (DM R5) running. DDR is in self refresh.

4.6.1. Enable Suspend/Resume support

1. At Android prompt, using RTC as wake-up source, test S2R using following command:

   console:/ $ su
   console:/ # rtcwake -s 10 -m mem

This puts system to sleep for 10s and then wakes it up via RTC interrupt.
