Hey guys!
First I want to say that I'm impressed and inspired by all the activity in the Iliad community. I currently don't own the device (or any device), the thing that is holding be back is the topic at hand: the power issue, and various suspend modes.
It seems to have been
discussed widely about two years ago. Irex made some
official statement in their forum, however scotty1024
seemed pretty sure it could be done.
The processor in the Iliad, PXA-255 is certainly capable of suspend-to-ram. I guess the question is whether the buttons and flipbar of the Iliad is connected in such a way that they may wake up the processor. The bad news is that it didn't sound like that in the above mentioned Irex post. The good news is that the Iliad definitely can wake up by itself, at least if you believe page 70 in the Users Guide for version 2.11. It states that the Iliad can connect to the iDS even if the device is turned off.
scotty1024 also
mentioned a chip, UCB1300 used for various purposes.
I don't know what all this boils down to, I'm not a hardware kind of guy, but maybe Irex are willing to give some hints now that they have released the code.
Of course, the schematics would be great, but I doubt they'll agree to that, even if someone would be brave enough
