How to switch power mode to WAIT ?

[snowholgi]

We do the following in our driver:

    // switch to WAIT mode

    g_pGPC->LPMR = GPC_LPMR_CLPCR(0x1);

    OALWFI();

    output("g_pGPC->PGSR=0x%x\r\n", pGPC->PGSR) ;

But pGPC->PGSR is always 0. Means previous power mode is RUN and current power mode is also RUN.

I expected that previous power mode will be 0x1 = WAIT.

Do you have an explanation?

Is there another register which we have to set before setting LPMR to 0x1 ?

Beside this, we don’t see significant power reduction during WFI.

Thanks for your help

Hi,

You are correct in your implementation of WAIT mode.  In the available sample code, I can confirm WAIT and STOP mode entry and exit with SW1 button press on the Tower board.  I have confirmed the behavior of the GPC->PGSR not getting updated with WAIT or STOP modes, and always reflecting RUN mode.  I will follow up with our internal team to investigate.

** Edit:  Also make sure CCM->CLPCR is not masking the core from entering WAIT mode ***

Hello,

I have again tested the WAIT mode and checked CCM->CLPCR.

All seems right, but I don't get a significant power reduction.

If I look to the sample code, I see that all PLLs are switched off before entering WAIT mode.

So it's clear why we can measure power reduction in this case.

Is there a way to check if core really switch to WFI ?

Thanks,

Holger

timesyssupport can you help on this case?

davidconnelly - What was the sample code that you used? We can try to reproduce the issue with this. Were there any further details found from your internal investigation?

davidconnelly do you have an update of this  case?
