Are we talking about the same CPU here? "Hitachi SH-1 Hardware Manual r5.0" section 19.1.1 explains the two modes "Sleep" and "Standby". And yes, reading this again now, I still think Sleep is the mode we want to use. Standby seems to be more troublesome to use, even if consumes far less power. Again, Sleep reduces CPU power consumption by about 33% "typcial". I think that is enough to motivate usage of it. Standby goes down to whopping 0.1uA but is harder to awake from and plays more tricks with clocks and I/O ports etc. But of course, if you can make good use of the standby mode, I'll be very happy! -- Daniel "Bagder" Stenberg -- http://rockbox.haxx.se/Received on 2002-08-26 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
