I am working on Linux power management on Cortex A-9 dual core micro-controller. I am new to power management. So Can you anybody Please Help me on Linux power management architecture with Hardware level.
Hai All,
I am working on Linux power management on Cortex A-9 dual core micro-controller. I am new to power management. So Can you anybody Please Help me on Linux power management architecture with Hardware level.
Please help me on this.....
Help you with WHAT? You haven't actually asked a question, but seem to want us to look things up for you. Please re-read these two old threads of yours, which will get you started:
In Linux Kernel also we have power management concept....the power management concepts are based on the below items.
1) Clock Frequency
2) Power gating
3) Clock Scaling
So i am try to understand the Power management architecture in Linux...how the code is designed....but i am unable to find link between Linux kernel power states to hardware power states. How it interlinked in code design.

Yes, we know what the concepts are, thanks.

If you want information on how this is done in the Linux kernel, you already HAVE the kernel source available to you, and you can go on to http://www.kernel.org, and look it up as well. Look at the source code for ANY of the MANY power-management tools that are out there.
I am using Samsung-exynos micro-controller...in this controller we have 6 power states they are
1) Normal
2) Idle
3) Deep-Idle
4) Stop
5) Deep-Stop
6) Sleep
But in linux Kenel we have only Four Power states, they are
1) Run
2) StandBy
3) ShutDown
4) Sleep
So my question is How the Linux kernel 4 power states are controlled Samsung-exynos micro-controller 6 power states. How its inter-linked?

You're still missing the point.
Yes, we know what you WANT, but what you're asking for is a programming tutorial class on the Linux kernel. Which is NOT what this site is for...we can't/won't give you a programming class to teach you EXACTLY what YOU want to know. That's up to YOU to learn it, and you have been provided the tools/resources several times to do it yourself. So AGAIN, do your own research, and learn what you need.
If you have a SPECIFIC QUESTION...that would be something like "I'm using Fedora 17, and have tried to compile program xxx (see code here), and it's getting error yyyy, can someone help me?"...THAT is what this site is designed for.
