12.12. Debugging systems with energy management
capabilities
The processor offers functionality for debugging systems with
energy management capabilities. This section describes scenarios
where the OS takes energy-saving measures when in an idle state.
The different measures that the OS can take to save energy
during an idle state are divided into two groups:
- Standby
The OS takes measures
that reduce energy consumption but maintain the processor state.
- Power down
The OS takes
measures that reduce energy consumption but do not maintain the
processor state. Recovery involves a reset of the core after the
power level has been restored, and reinstallation of the processor state.
