Power management framework

Below are some of the current consumption results that have been obtained for the

SPEAr600 and SPEAr300 boards.

The details of the test setup are as follows:

–

OS: Linux-2.6.27 running on SPEAr boards

–

Wake-up Source: Ethernet Magic Packets

–

Test setup: The target board was connected to a Host Linux PC, which sends in

the wake-up packets when the system goes into sleep. The target was booted up

using NFS. The current was measured on all the power supplies available on the

SPEAr boards, a first measurement before moving into suspended state and a

second measurement after resuming from suspended state.

SPEAr600

For the SPEAr600, the following jumpers were replaced one at a time to measure the

current source.

JP-1 (for 1.0 V)

JP-2 (for 1.8 V)

JP-3 (for 2.5 V)

JP-4 (for 3.3 V)

The current measurements indicate significant power savings. The table and figures below

present the results for SPEAr300.
