Sure, but if Vsys did get forced off, you will probably see a lowsys
action.  I agree it shouldn't get forced off legitimately as far as we know.

| That's a different scenario. The one that's causing these problems
| is:
|
| - charger disabled
| - (sufficient) USB power
| - no or weak battery (still have to determine what is "too weak")
|
| The system can stay in this state indefinitely. But as soon as I

| if not faster).

Any chance it is a false high temp interrupt?  p42 of the datasheet
talks about the (unused) temp sensing stuff being able to force pcf to
SAVE state if the interrupt isn't responded to in 1s -- we didn't have
interrupt handler in U-Boot last I looked.  The way the temp thing is
apparently set up you'll see different "temp" vs NTCSW pin which is
"controlled by the MBC" p92.

| So what I'll do is to look at Vsys directly (wish we had it on a
| test pad), and to capture the timing with more accuracy (i.e.,
| oscilloscope, not multimeter).

I did this some months ago when I found the lack of capacitor on Vsys
:-)  There were periods of nothingness in there as I recall.
