I’m looking to work on some suspend functionality on a dragonboard410c that has the USB hub and HDMI bridge removed in order to check how much power the part uses while sleeping. Reading here[1] and here[2], it seems like Qualcomm has no plans to add suspend to the boards but in the interest of getting some work done, I was wondering if there was any documentation on the PLL/RAM setting registers so that I can add that functionality myself?
I’ve verified that the board uses about 40mA when in the ‘freeze’ state, but that isn’t quite enough for our application.
I was actually digging around the Android source to see how they were going into the deeper sleep but couldn’t find the source.
Variscite[3] claims that they can get down to 4mA with their SOM and I would like to verify that. They too are just using the Debian Linaro distro, same as the dragonboard.
