Hi Andy:
Oh~ In Normal or suspend mode, we will have many choices for these
submodules.
Actually, we don't have too many time to implement these modes and
verify these modes now.
I think we should force on one basic normal mode and suspend mode now.
Because I want GTA02 can be a real phone and we can use them to replace
our mobile phones.
If everyone use GTA02 to be a phone in openmoko and MC department, we
can get many bugs form these users.
Therefore, I suggest that the basic normal mode should have NAND FLASH,
NOR FLASH, Audio Codec, Audio AMP,LCM, GLAMO3362, GSM and Back light.
If we have these submodules , the GTA02 can be a phone.
For a basic suspend, we turn off audio AMP, LCM, Backlight and S3C2442
,GSM, GLAM3362,and Audio Codec enter their suspend mode.

Do you agrees with me?

Best Wishes
Allen Chang
