- Subject: Wallclock on LCP2xxx dependency
Howdy Everyone,
I'm trying to track down the history of an item in the LPC2xxx wallclock
driver CDL file.
The Wallclock CDL contains the following:
requires { CYGHWR_HAL_ARM_LPC2XXX_IDLE_PWRSAVE == 0 }
I'm trying to figure out where this dependency comes from. The
IDLE_PWRSAVE option allows the idle thread to turn off the CPU core.
This has no impact on the peripherals, including the RTC. The
peripherals continue to run, and they will wake the CPU on any interrupt
activity.
I've verified this on live LPC2292/01 hardware - the RTC is keeping
time, and the CPU is spending a fair amount of time idle, as measured
with an Ammeter.
Was there an intent that I'm not grasping? It seems that this
requirement isn't a hard one.
Thanks,
Byron Jacquot
