Stapleberg could wake computer from sleep, but not new kinT41

[aaronjensen]

I just got a new KA2 w/ a kinT41 (w/ teensy 4.0). I have macOS and, for some reason, I cannot wake my laptop up from sleep using the kinT41. It worked fine with my old KA2 + stapleberg. This is my firmware: https://github.com/aaronjensen/qmk_firmware/tree/aaron/keyboards/kinesis/keymaps/aaronjensen which, aside from mapping, doesn't really have anything custom afaik.

Is this a common thing, or is there anything else that I should look at for this type of issue? Thanks!

[stapelberg]

I’m surprised to hear that it worked for you with the old controller (maybe not running QMK?).

When I tested it, I couldn’t get waking up to work at all with QMK, even with the older kint36. See bug report at qmk/qmk_firmware#16934

[aaronjensen]

Yeah, it was running QMK. It woke fine for a couple years. Thanks for the link to the issue. Feel free to close this one since it’s tracked upstream.

[afonsoguerra]

Just to say that I also can’t wake the computer with the kint41, the trackpad or any other key works, but not the kint41. That said, it is not a problem with QMK per se, because I have a keyboardio 01 and Atreus, both running QMK and they both work for waking up my machine, so it might be a power state thing with the keyboard itself?
I’m talking about ‘press-any-key’ wakeup and not specifically the keycode mentioned in the upstream issue.

[aaronjensen]

There must be specific sleep states where it can wake. This morning, it woke for me:

I don't know much about sleep or how to interpret the above, but that's from pmset -g log on my macbook.

And this is not waking, after a shorter sleep, but I was able to wake it with my trackpad:

2022-08-29 09:05:52 -0400 Wake DarkWake to FullWake from Deep Idle [CDNVA] : due to UserActivity Assertion Using AC (Charge:100%)

I suspect that when Apple decides to wake up your computer (“dark wake”) during the night, it no longer keeps the USB devices in standby state, but actually enumerates them and then listens to input.

---

I have since found out how to use any-key-to-wakeup on my lab PC (Intel i9-9900K on an ASUS PRIME Z370-A) using Linux:

Ensure wakeup is enabled for the USB device that is your keyboard (see lsusb):

echo enabled | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-10/power/wakeup

Then, suspend to RAM (e.g. echo mem | sudo tee /sys/power/state).

When pressing any key on the keyboard (not necessarily the XF86WakeUp key), the machine wakes up from suspend-to-RAM.

This behavior works on:

• kint2pp
• kint36
• Kinesis Advantage 360 Pro (with ZMK firmware)

But it does not work on the kint41 (and apparently kint40, which you are using).

The next step in debugging this is to compare the debug log of the different USB stacks to see if anything stands out.

[stapelberg]

The good news is that the following changes to lib/chibios-contrib make waking a PC from suspend-to-ram work on the kint41.

The bad news is that the keyboard is then stuck and won’t work until un-plugged and re-plugged. Perhaps that’s a QMK-specific problem, so the next step in debugging is to reproduce the issue in a ChibiOS demo, or perhaps even an NXP demo.

We should also verify that the USB device descriptor indicates remote wakeup support, which might influence the value of the power/wakeup /sys file.

The bad news is that the keyboard is then stuck and won’t work until un-plugged and re-plugged. Perhaps that’s a QMK-specific problem, so the next step in debugging is to reproduce the issue in a ChibiOS demo, or perhaps even an NXP demo.

I tested whether older kint controllers work after waking up:

• kint36 does not work after waking up
• kint2pp does work after waking up

So perhaps it’s a problem with ChibiOS and/or the kint36/kint41 USB HAL. The kint2pp uses LUFA, which is a different stack.

[stapelberg]

I think I got it working!

We need two changes in lib/chibios-contrib.

Fix 1: the NXP USB stack has its own hwTick variable, but we don’t have a SysTick ISR handler from which to feed that hwTick variable, so the NXP USB stack hangs after triggering a remote wakeup. This change works around the hang for now:

                 __NOP();
             }

Fix 2: we need to skip restarting the USB driver on remote wakeup:

I think that’s all we need, but I have only briefly tested these changes so far.

Will try and clean up these commits into a proper pull request over the next few days.

[stapelberg]

Okay, I have sent ChibiOS/ChibiOS-Contrib#345 (for the kint41) and ChibiOS/ChibiOS-Contrib#346 (for the kint36).

With these pull requests applied, all kinT controllers (tested with kint2pp, kint36, kint41) should do USB remote wakeup (if enabled in the OS) and work after wakeup.

I’ll keep this issue open for visibility for a while (it will be a while until the PRs land in ChibiOS-Contrib, and another delay until they make their way to QMK develop, and then QMK master…).

[aaronjensen]

That’s great, thanks.

Is this an issue with Macs only? I can wake up my Linux from sleep just fine with a KB133+kintlc.
