Lesson Summary

To ensure reliable power management on Windows Embedded CE, device drivers should not change their own internal power state without the involvement of Power Manager. Operating system components, drivers, and applications can call the DevicePowerNotify function to request a power state change. Accordingly, Power Manager sends a power state change request to the driver if the power state change is consistent with the current state of the system. The recommended way to add power management capabilities to a stream driver is to add support for power management IOCTLs to the XXX_IOControl function. The XXX_PowerUp and XXX_PowerDown functions only provide limited capability because Power Manager calls these functions at a time when the system operates in single-thread mode. If the device advertises a power management interface through an IClass registry entry or calls the AdvertiseInterface to announce supported IOCTL interfaces dynamically, Power Manager will send IOCTLs to the device driver in response to power-related events.
