Test Device Power Levels (Compact 7)

3/12/2014

The Test Device Power Levels Test verifies the functionality of the Power Manager as it applies to power manageable device drivers. The Power Manager requests device power-state changes and verifies the resulting state based on expected behavior and configured ceiling and floor power-state values.

Test Prerequisites

Your device must meet the following requirements before you run this test.

The following prerequisites are required for this test.

Hardware Prerequisites:

In order to run the test, the platform and/or device drivers should have power management capabilities.

Software Prerequisites:

Having the SYSGEN_PM sysgen variable set when building your OS image will include the Power Manager.

The following table shows the software requirements for this test.

Requirement Description

Tux.exe

Tux test harness that executes the test.

Kato.dll

Logging engine that logs test data.

testutildrv.dll

Utility driver to handle setting RTC wake source for suspend/resume

pwrdrvr.dll

Sample power managed device driver used during test

pwrfunc.dll

Test library.

Subtests

The table below lists the subtests included in this test.

SubTest ID Description

1001

Sets every possible floor/ceiling combination.

1002

Calls SetDevicePower() for every power state for each floor/ceiling.

1003

Calls SetDevicePower() for every power state for each request/floor/ceiling.

1004

Raises ceiling from D4 to D0 (passive driver).

1005

Raises ceiling from D4 to D0 and requests D0 through D4.

1006

Lowers floor from D0 to D4 (passive driver).

1007

Lowers floor from D0 to D4 and requests D0 through D4.

1008

Requests all unsupported states.

Setting Up the Test

This test has no additional requirements, beyond the standard test environment setup.

Running the Test

The Test Device Power Levels Test executes the tux -n -o -d pwrfunc.dll command line on default execution.

This test library can have one or more optional command line entries to change the behavior of the test. To specify one or more command line entries to the test library, you must use the -c command-line option. This option forces Tux to pass the specified string into the test library.

The following table shows the optional command line parameters for this test.

Command Line Parameter Description

PdaVersion

Informs the tests that this is a PDA-type device which tests a separate set of system power states.

Verifying the Test

When the test completes running, verify that "PASS" appears in the test log for all subtests.

Troubleshooting the Test

* The platform must have power managment capabilities.

* The platform must support the standard power states used in this test which target the DEFAULT and PDA versions of the Power Manager.

Some device drivers may fail to change power states if they have not been made power-aware. All device drivers that are running in the system should be enabled to handle power state transitions.

For additional platform specific issues, consult the CTK articles on the TechNet wiki.
