jharker,

what I understood from the Suspend-The-CPU-Discussion is that you have
to have a hardwired signal as in "soldered to pin x" to wake - any - cpu
from suspend mode. You cannot do this with software only since software
is executed by the cpu which is... sleeping...

That's what's missing in the iLiads design.

No physical button is connected to this "pin x", I'd say nothing is connected
to said pin, so it might be possible to send the cpu into sleep mode, but there
is no way to wake it up again other than to reset or power cycle.

Even the power button does not wake the cpu, it just starts the power supply.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't want the community efforts
wasted on something the - hardware - developers declared to be non-existent.

Dirk
