    摘要: A method and system for saving and/or retrieving context information of a processor core for a power state transition. The processor core resides in a complex power domain variously transitioning between a plurality of power states. The processor core includes a local context storage area for storage and retrieval of processor core context information. A low power context storage resides in a nominal power domain external to the complex power domain. Context information of the processor core is stored to the low power context storage based on whether a power state transition of the complex power domain includes a transition to power down the processor core.

    摘要: A processor starting a duty cycle timer with a specified duty cycle period and a specified power state, and if the duty cycle timer expires, placing the processor in the specified power state in response to the expiry of the timer, if the timer has not expired and if an interrupt other than a timer tick interrupt is received, canceling the duty cycle timer in response to the interrupt other than a timer tick interrupt.

    摘要: A processor-based system in a vehicle may be quickly suspended to a lower power consumption state after detecting a signal indicative of engine cranking. Advantageously, the system may be caused to enter the lower power consumption state prior to the time that power is reduced as a result of engine cranking. If the operating system is active when the signal is detected, a routine may be called which causes device contexts to be saved before returning the system to a reduced power consumption state. Otherwise, if the operating system is inactive, an interrupt handler may be called which immediately returns the system to a reduced power consumption state. In this way, the system may be reliably restored to a lower power consumption state before being exposed to the power reduction inherent in engine cranking.
