Working suspend on Manjaro - brzegorz - 07-28-2021

Hi, just wanted to let you know that after flashing Tow-Boot to SPI I've got working suspend. Steps are described in updog's response here on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/PINE64official/comments/n9fp6a/any_improvements_regarding_standby_on_pinebook/

The instructions worked for the first release. I haven't checked out the new one yet since it requires a SD card

Yes, I agree, towboot will do s3 suspend (with right kernel & config)
However, it is NOT as good as BSP uboot, perhaps 50% worse
BSP = 7% / day,,, towboot 11-12% / day
It (towboot) will do a couple things that I never have seen other uboots do
(beside menu display)

Hi, was this on Manjaro (or 5.13 kernel)?  And would it work if running from SD card? Thanks in advance.

Just noting here that I just did some clean install tests with Manjaro KDE and Tow-Boot. With "pinebookpro-linux" kernel (5.7.x) I was getting black screens after wake from suspend, but with the default "mainline" kernel of 5.15.x at the time of writing, it wakes fine from suspend. I have confirmed that "deep-sleep" mode is being activated by checking "dmesg | grep suspend". I did an overnight test and in 9 hours I lost about 18% battery, so about 2% per hour which isn't great but is much better than it being "dead" the next morning if I don't plug it in overnight. Since no problems with sound, black screen, etc. I am going to stay with this mainline kernel and Tow-Boot for the time being. I couldn't get deep-sleep working in Armbian FWIW even with Tow-Boot. Since Armbian has dropped support I will be staying with Manjaro for now.
