Hi all,
I'm trying to get the A20-Olinuxino-micro board in suspend mode. I'm using pm-suspend. The board turs off the display but via the uart0 port I kan still access the board and power consumption does not show any difference. I would expect it to be lower, but seems to be the same.
I cannot get the board out of suspend with any of the buttons.
Questions:
1. How can I get the board to resume?
2. Is it possible to lower power consumption to a minimum in suspend mode?
Any help is appreciated.
Best regards
dwokke
Does your version of debian even support that (on A20)?

Hi JohnS,
Not sure. I'm using Debian 7.0 which is supplied by Olimex on the A20-Debian-SD.
I installed the pm-utils and use sudo pm-suspend.
I checked with "sudo pm-is-supported --suspend && echo $?" This gives me 0 as result which implies suspend can be used.
My main issue is that I need to proof to my custimer that the A20 can be put in suspend mode to save as much power as posible for their application (80% idle time).
If there is another way I would be thankful if some one coud advice me.
Best regards dwokke
To see if the system support suspend (or any other power state), you can look into the /sys/power/state file for supported states (the disk means hibernation).
