PortalPlayer PP502x Device Enable Registers

Overview

The PortalPlayer PP502x SoC have three device enable registers: DEV_EN = 0x6000600c DEV_EN2 = 0x60006010 DEV_EN3 = 0x60006044

Each bit in these registers enables and disables a particular part of the device. Hence, it is thought that this is the key to improving power usage and battery life on these devices. If we can figure out what each bit does, then we can selectively enable and disable bits that we're not using to give a nice battery life boost. This page collects all the information we know so far about these registers.

Known bits

The following bits are already known.

DEV_EN

Bit Function
