Then simply enabled CONFIG_ARM_CPUIDLE. (I also use the "imx-cpufreq-dt" driver, but this should be unrelated here). I do see the possible cpuidle states: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle$ cat state*/name WFI cpu-sleep but idlestat doesn't see it or it is (thus) never used. Do you know a needed change I might be missing? thanks again, martin
