Hi Dan,

Yes, your observations are indeed correct wrt. having CONFIG_PM_DEVICE_RUNTIME either selected or n-selected.

[quote user="narfster"]

What is recommendation when to use one, or both CONFIG settings.

Both are fine to use in this case, but requires different API handling, unfortunately. Which one to use and implement is based on your own preference on the matter.

Kind regards,

Håkon

thanks for your very helpful assistants,

zephyr doc states:

yet the proj.conf has two define we can play with

CONFIG_PM_DEVICE=y
CONFIG_PM_DEVICE_RUNTIME=n
do I understand correctly?
if CONFIG_PM_DEVICE_RUNTIME=n
then use:
pm_device_action_run(uart, PM_DEVICE_ACTION_SUSPEND);
pm_device_action_run(uart, PM_DEVICE_ACTION_RESUME);
if CONFIG_PM_DEVICE_RUNTIME=y
then use: 
pm_device_runtime_enable(uart);
pm_device_runtime_put(uart);
pm_device_runtime_get(uart);
etc..
Also the pm_device_runtime_enable won't enable when CONFIG is n.
What is recommendation when to use one, or both CONFIG settings.
thanks
Dan

Hi,

My apologies for the late response.

When setting

[quote user=""]CONFIG_PM_DEVICE_RUNTIME=y[/quote]

the default state of the power management system is to place each device in a suspended state, as per the zephyr docs:

https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/services/pm/device_runtime.html#introduction

To enable it, you need to:

#include <zephyr/devicetree.h>
#include <zephyr/pm/device_runtime.h>

...
pm_device_runtime_get(DEVICE_DT_GET(DT_NODELABEL(pad_input)));

On a DK, you need to use DT_PATH, as the "buttons" node has no label:

pm_device_runtime_get(DEVICE_DT_GET(DT_PATH(buttons)));

Kind regards,

Håkon
