The Product
===========
Nokia 770 is powered by an OMAP1710 on a custom board.

... and all that running Linux!  The last rumor I heard was that
it might base on the 2.6.12 kernel. I look forward to seeing one
of these, so I'll know for sure!

Yes, we'll bring some with us.

For those unfamiliar with OMAP, http://linux.omap.com is a place
to start ... there's a Linux-OMAP mailing list and patches (such
as 2.6.13-rc1-omap1) in a GIT repository, many of which have made
their way into kernel.org releases.  It's a family of ARM SOC
processors that's very power-efficient.

Interests
=========
Here are a few ideas that we are planning to investigate in order to
address shortcomings in the current PM model with respect to system-wide
PM:

- Regulator framework: similar to clock framework HAL

Perhaps you could elaborate in a separate email thread?

As Amit wrote we've been very busy till now, but we plan to elaborate an articulated proposal

quoted

- Generic framework for system-wide constraints: to handle constraints
outside bus control
- PM framework: Enhance PM framework to allow flexible policy control.
Like DPM?
- User space API: Requires study

Are these ideas of interest to the PM community or Nokia-specific?

General interest!

I'll be very glad to see a more cross-pollination from that part
of the embedded Linux world.  Laptops get plenty of attention,
but there's more to Linux than that.  :)
