| Overview |
| ######## |
| |
| The interfaces and APIs provided by the power management subsystem |
| are designed to be architecture and SOC independent. This enables power |
| management implementations to be easily adapted to different SOCs and |
| architectures. |
| |
| The architecture and SOC independence is achieved by separating the core |
| infrastructure and the SOC specific implementations. The SOC specific |
| implementations are abstracted to the application and the OS using hardware |
| abstraction layers. |
| |
| The power management features are classified into the following categories. |
| |
| * System Power Management |
| * Device Power Management |
