Ramesh Thomas 58d71d4efb power_mgmt:sample:Power Manager application
Sample implementation of a power manager app that uses the zephyr
power management infrastructure. This app demonstrates use of the
hooks to implement Low Power State and Tickless idle power saving
policies.

Tested on quark_se.

Title: Power management demo
Description:
A sample implementation of a power manager app that uses the zephyr
power management infrastructure.
This app will cycle through the various power schemes at every call
to _sys_soc_suspend() hook function.
It will cycle through following states
1. Low Power State (LPS) - puts the CPU in C2 state
2. Tickless Idle - demonstrates hooks into tickless idle entry and exit
3. No-op - no operation and letting kernel do its idle
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Building and Running Project:
This application is architecture and SoC specific. It is written for x86
architecture and uses features specific to quark_se platforms.
This is a microkernel only project since the zephyr power management
infrastructure currently is only microkernel idle based. In future, when
nanokernel idle is supported, a separate nanokernel app would be created.
make BOARD=<quark_se board>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Troubleshooting:
Problems caused by out-dated project information can be addressed by
issuing one of the following commands then rebuilding the project:
make clean # discard results of previous builds
# but keep existing configuration info
or
make pristine # discard results of previous builds
# and restore pre-defined configuration info

Sample Output:
Power Management Demo
Going to low power state!
Resume from low power state
Total Elapsed From Suspend To Resume = 163838 RTC Cycles
Tickless idle power saving!
Exit from tickless idle
Total Elapsed From Suspend To Tickless Resume = 163838 RTC Cycles
