While it's not quite what you're asking for here (and it assumes you've either got an "explicit shutdown" path rather than simply losing power or you don't mind restoring an earlier state) you could look into the hibernation feature. But some initialisation is unavoidable, since you have to reconfigure the hardware. _______________________________________________ uClinux-dev mailing list uClinux-dev@uclinux.org http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev This message was resent by uclinux-dev@uclinux.org To unsubscribe see: http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/options/uclinux-dev
