How to Resume
Pressing the Power On/Off button causes the system to resume operation after
entering Suspend mode. Resuming returns the system's operation to the point
in your application where the suspend was initiated. This does not mean,
however, that all devices are powered up. When the system resumes, the
following events occur:
= DRAM refresh memory returns the system to the application that was
running before the Suspend operation
= The video is turned on
= The COM ports are enabled
= Then, each device is powered on when it is requested for use by the system
