Oops, yes, that one was recorder-only. I looked for something where the main thread did nothing but wait for a key to be pressed. The screen that asks if you want to resume after powering on, and the text file viewer, are two things that should work on the player too. I've uploaded a new build with has a menu choice to disable interrupts and sleep, completely stopping the CPU. This should represent the maximum possible power saving without using the standby mode. This should be 20 mA according to the docs, but I'm getting a bit suspicious seeing 10 mA of savings almost no matter what the software does. It would be nice if you could compare the power saving with the CPU completely stopped and at the "resume?" screen. Just for fun, the new build also includes an option to enter standby mode, which would be great if it was only possible to wake up from. Does anyone know if NMI is connected to anything useful in the player/recorder? Unfortunately, the schematics at http://rockbox.haxx.se/schematics/ makes no sense at all to me, but I'll look at them again when I'm awake... -- Simon ElénReceived on 2003-01-25 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
