i.MX283 resets during standby in 5V only mode

[jackyliu]

Customer report mx28 can't enter suspend correctly, when only with 5V power supply, no battery.

The root cause is in arch\arm\mach-mx28\pm.c, it call mx28_cpu_standby_ptr() cause system hang up.
This function is realized in arch\arm\mach-mx28\sleep.s, it will change VDDD VDDIO VDDA power register, but it cause system hang up when USB 5V power supply. I change these functions to nop, so it won't change these voltage. These features: DDR self-refresh and reduce CPU frequency are still in there.

Hello Friends,

We are using I.MX280 series of processor in our product based on 5V only mode. I have tried using the above 325-sleep.S but the evt fails to resume.

Below is the console output using 325-sleep.S:

Though, interesting point is the same code works for I.MX287 processor on EVK. Addition thing I found is the suspend/resume works if before putting DRAM into self refresh mode the processor is made to run on ref_xtal instead of ref_cpu. The reverse to be done on resuming cycle.

Please find the attached sleep.S with switching of ref. clock for CPU clock domain. (Line#168 - Switching to XTAL clock and Line#450 - Switching to REF_CPU clock on resume)

Console Output with Switching to XTAL clock on Suspend and Back to CPU clock on resume:

The problem with the above solution is it sometime fails to resume the system.

Based on that I have below concerns:

1) Is there any difference in the clocks domain b/w I.MX280 and I.MX287 ?

2) Is there any additional configuration needs to be done to achieve suspend/resume on I.MX280 processor?

Please feel free to share your thoughts. This issue is show stopper now!

Ankur.
