Power consumption and suspend to ram

[wdt]

It took a few minutes to "puzzle out" what has happened here
When you did install of bsp uboot, it does 2 things, put uboot files in /boot for you to dd,
AND change extlinux,conf,, wrongly, the root= statement is now wrong (on emmc), not on SD
boot flow, with this mixed up boot, uboot (emmc) -> extlinux.conf (SD) ->rootfs (emmc)
so... edit extlinux.conf (emmc) to have correct root=
sudo blkid will show all
And, BTW, 5.9 cannot do suspend 3, s3, s2mem, suspend to mem
(what version? uname -r or ls /lib/modules/)
If you want this, have to downgrade to 5.8, if it is in /var/cache/pacman/pkgs/ is a lot easier (pacman -U something)
Be sure that the boot is sorted first, of course

Thank you very much for looking into this.
You are right, the extlinux.conf had a wrong entry under root=, so I modified it and the emmc now boots, but the screen is still blank.

I will boot from a clean SD and rewrite the default uboot on the emmc. So I will stick to it, as I do not know how to downgrade to 5.8. I wanted the S3 to work, because as of now leaving the PBP to sleep consumes the battery fast.
Is there any easy way to enable the S3?

Cheers!

For whatever reson u-boot.itb was not present in the /boot. I copied it there from the SD card and now I am able to boot from the emmc.
Thank you very much!

Now I just need to see how can I resolve the S3 activation.

ls -l /var/cache/pacman/pkgs/linux-* ,,, is there linux-pinbookpro-5.8.14...,,, then pacman -U that package
otherwise, install downgrade, may (likely) have to enable arch repo,, AUR is what it is called
5.7.19 also works (for mem sleep)
But reading your post again, I am a bit confused,, bsp uboot has 3 files,
idbloader.img,,uboot.img,,trust.img. When you see u-boot.itb, that is mainline, has trust within it
