Hi, 

I want to ask about Power-Mnagement on mips.
1. Is it possible to use power mgnt (ex. apm,acpi) features of linux kernel?
2.If no, how can manage CPU and Bidge chips for power mgnt ?

Both are PC stuff, so no.

Right now Linux/MIPS will only use the CPU's power managment features, that
is the wait instruction or similar.

What would be nice that I have been thinking about is making a cpu scale
api very similiar to what ARM has.

Hi Ralf,

I reviewed the data sheet of Mips CPU - QED RM5231.
There is a wait instruction.
But when the SysAD bus goes to idle, the wait instruction is valid.
How can I SysAD bus make idle state?
