Power Management stopped shell working on uart0

Piziwate

Hello,

I'm trying to implement runtime power management (SDK 2.9.0), but as soon as I enable the option, the shell and logging on UART0 stop working at startup. The rest of the system functions normally.The status of UART0 is active, and I have never put it in standby.

Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

Changed configuration options :
CONFIG_PM_DEVICE=y
CONFIG_PM_DEVICE_RUNTIME=y
If I remove these two lines, everything works fine...

    Hello,

    When having shell enabled you usually want the application to control when the UART is suspended through PM actions, and this only requires CONFIG_PM_DEVICE device to be enabled. CONFIG_PM_DEVICE_RUNTIME is not needed for this.

    Is the CONFIG_UART_0_NRF_ASYNC_LOW_POWER symbol selected in your configuration file (build/<application name>/zephyr/.config)? From looking at the driver it looks like the UART should only be auto suspended on idle if you have both CONFIG_PM_DEVICE_RUNTIME and CONFIG_UART_0_NRF_ASYNC_LOW_POWER enabled.

    Best regards,

    Vidar

    Thank you for your response. I confirm that CONFIG_UART_0_NRF_ASYNC_LOW_POWER is not enabled (besides, I am not using the UART_ASYNC_API mode).

    So I wonder why I have no logs and no shell.

    At startup, I only get this:
    Booting TF-M v2.1.1-ncs2-snapshot1
    [Sec Thread] Secure image initializing!

    Thanks for confirming. It turns out there is a bug in the runtime pm with the interrupt driven API. Fix has been added upstream here: https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/81631. The application must also call pm_device_runtime_get(shell_dev) to signal the pm subsystem to not suspend the shell interface. I would consider disabling CONFIG_PM_DEVICE_RUNTIME and use PM actions instead:

    /* Disable shell interface */
err = pm_device_action_run(shell_dev, PM_DEVICE_ACTION_SUSPEND);
if (err) {
	LOG_ERR("Failed to suspend uart (err: %d)", err);
	return;
}

    Hi Vidar,

    I'm also running into a similar issue where we I have an application where we enable PM_DEVICE_RUNTIME to minimize power consumption. We can't seem to enable logs/shell with PM_DEVICE_RUNTIME enabled even after cherry-picking the change to our ncs 2.9.0 installation and calling:

    pm_device_runtime_get(DEVICE_DT_GET(DT_CHOSEN(zephyr_shell_uart)));

    Is the commit dependent on another upstream commit (relative to 2.9.0)? I'll try to reproduce on a nrf5340dk and sample app.

    I added the following to the zephyr shell_module sample on top of a clean ncs 2.9.0 installation and the shell prompt still wouldn't come up:

    - added to prj.conf

    CONFIG_PM_DEVICE=y
    CONFIG_PM_DEVICE_RUNTIME=y
    - added to src/main.c
    #include <zephyr/pm/device_runtime.h>

    int main(void)
    {
    pm_device_runtime_get(DEVICE_DT_GET(DT_CHOSEN(zephyr_shell_uart)));
    ...
    disabling PM_DEVICE and PM_DEVICE_RUNTIME re-enables the shell. Please advise.
