Hi, I want to know what is the instruction for sleeping in ARM Cortex A8. I did execute a WFI instruction seems to be a NOP. void cpu_idle() { unsigned long tmp = 0; asm("b 1f\n\t" ".align 5\n\t" "1:\n\t" "mcr p15, 0, %0, c7, c10, 5\n\t" "mcr p15, 0, %0, c7, c10, 4\n\t" "mcr p15, 0, %0, c7, c0, 4" :: "r" (tmp)); return; } The above function doesnt seem to work. Please let me know exact instructions to follow.
Well, the idle-code in Linux looks like: /* * cpu_v7_do_idle() * * Idle the processor (eg, wait for interrupt). * * IRQs are already disabled. */ ENTRY(cpu_v7_do_idle) dsb @ WFI may enter a low-power mode wfi mov pc, lr ENDPROC(cpu_v7_do_idle)
So you may want to try that instead.
