Review power saving modes kernel configurations

Open carlossvg opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

@shuhaowu reported some CPU frequency changes. A possible explanation could be something related with power management. We should review all the related configurations. From the top of my head these are some of the things that we should take into account:

  • Apparently, power issues could cause a kernel log message which might affect the latency measurements - https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-low-voltage-warning/ - https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=224493
  • dwc_otg has to be disabled - https://community.emlid.com/t/rt-kernel-unusual-dwc-otg-high-8k-s-interrupt-rate-using-quite-some-cpu/1002 - https://www.osadl.org/Single-View.111+M5c03315dc57.0.html - https://www.osadl.org/monitoring/patches/r7s3/usb-dwc_otg-fix-system-lockup-when-interrupts-are-threaded.patch.html
  • CPU idle
