Which exactly place in the board's documentation is unclear?

2) Also will the nand flash be up at that time?

NAND Flash is powered from +1_8V which is always on.

I am going through the "Run Control and Power Management"  chapter.

Thanks in advance

Hi ufedor,

Reference manual REV D and REV C.

Excuse me, the QorIQ LS1043A Reference Manual, Rev. D, Chapter 13 Run Control and Power Management (RCPM) does not mention "power down" mode. Which exacly RM section or statement is in question?

Hi ufedor,

Supported power management mode is CPU Hotplug.

You can offline cpu at runtime.

/* Offline cpu */

echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/online

Note: cpu# is the cpu number you want to offline. cpu0 could not plug off as boot core.

/* Online cpu */

echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/online

Note: For e6500 based cores, if all cores in one cluster are offline the cluster will automatically enter PCL10 state to save more power.
