Anybody Working On Wakeup?

[develd]

Hi users,

is anybody allready working on a wakeup solution for OpenBSD on a Zaurus?

I've just read the pdaXrom thread:

Ko/pi Alarm Applet Needed

They suggest to grep the next at event (maybe checking cron would be nice too) and then do an apmsleep till some seconds before this event.

I couldn't find apmsleep nor apm in the ports tree. It's must be in a system package.

When holding the power button for some seconds the Zaurus fell into sleep. It seems to be a kernel thing because it's still functioning with a moved /usr/sbin/apm. So how to use apmsleep for this? Any suggestions?

PS: My snapshot installation of 3.8beta from 09/02 is working like a charm on a C3100. Growing up the system from the ports tree is much of fun.

PPS: If you like working on a console - try ratpoison! Why loosing 5% of the tiny screen for titlebars and a panel?  (thanks barryg for this suggestion on your website)

I'm pretty sure apmsleep is just zzz or apm -S on openbsd, but I could be wrong. There's a thread somewhere on oesf about hardware support for a timer for wakeups, if you're curious.

Hi,

till now I've just viewed the source of apm.c for Linux and apm.c for OpenBSD and realized major differences. The only source of apmsleep.c I found, is based on apm for Linux.

Oh, oh, big work waiting for me? I'll go into deep with this next month, when having some spare time. But I can't promise anything - my experiences with C are years ago and my kernel knowledge is 'make ...' if everything is prepared.

  Kind regards,

  Oliver

PS@obscurite: 'apm -S' is light suspend and zzz is a synonym for 'apm -z' - deep suspend. Nothing deals with wakeup times, but thanks anyway.

Hello,

talking of apm -z and zzz, the date (clock) often stays where/when i suspended my Z other than going on... example : i use zzz in the morning at 6:12am, when i wake up my Z at evening 7pm, the date is still 6:12am. It's not really useful for crontab.

And as i'm using my Z to wake up in the morning, i've got to let it plugged on AC power and running to be sure it wakes me up !

Has someone got the same problem? any idea how to correct this?

How do you get the resume to happen?
I do the apm -S and it sleeps - but it's the sleep of the dead.

sudo apm -S
System will enter standby mode momentarily.

That's the last I see..  Power on button does nothing. I end up having to take the battery out to get the Z to respond again.

The only odd thing that I'm doing is running openBSD off a compact flash card.

One partition for /, one for swap.  at the boot prompt, I have to change the root to /wd1a from the default of wd0a  at boot - haven't worked out how to to avoid this yet.. (read OpenBSD newbie)
My thought is that the apm stuff is looking for root on wd0a on the resume - and that fails so nothing happens...

Any suggestions welcome..

Thanks

What I've been doing to work around the time lapses is just run ntpd -s whenever I get to the Internet. Since I normally use the zaurus where that's possible, it hasn't been too much of a problem. It is annoying though

I took a trawl through the OpenBSD kernel source and found that the pxa stuff does actually have rtc_alarm stuff built in, however, this seems to only be being used for debugging apm at the moment and there's no interface from 'userland' down to that stuff.
