Hi Guys, I'm trying to put my Asrock Intel ARC A380 to L1 but the power conumption dosen't change. Wouthout the card its around 30W and with the card inserted I'm at around 50W.
I hope someone can help with this, I don't know what else I could try.
Used Kernerl to enable ARC support: https://github.com/thor2002ro/unraid_kernel/releases
What I've tryied so far:
1. Check ASPM Status:
sudo lspci -vv | awk '/ASPM/{print $0}' RS= | grep --color -P '(^[a-z0-9:.]+|ASPM )'
2. Used this script to change the ASPM Settings.

# ASPM Tuning script
#
# This script lets you enable ASPM on your devices in case your BIOS
# does not have it enabled for some reason. If your BIOS does not have
# it enabled it is usually for a good reason so you should only use this if
# you know what you are doing. Typically you would only need to enable
# ASPM manually when doing development and using a card that typically
# is not present on a laptop, or using the cardbus slot. The BIOS typically
# disables ASPM for foreign cards and on the cardbus slot. Check also
# if you may need to do other things than what is below on your vendor
# documentation.
#
# To use this script You will need for now to at least query your device
# PCI endpoint and root complex addresses using the convention output by
# lspci: [<bus>]:[<slot>].[<func>]
#
# For example:
#
# 03:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9300 Wireless LAN adaptor (rev 01
# 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) PCI Express Port 2 (rev 03)
#
# The root complex for the endpoint can be found using lspci -t
#
# For more details refer to:
#
# http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/ASPM
# You just need to modify these three values:
ROOT_COMPLEX="01.1"
ENDPOINT="03:00.0" # ARC GPU
#ENDPOINT="04:00.0" # ARC AUDIO
# We'll only enable the last 2 bits by using a mask
# of :3 to setpci, this will ensure we keep the existing
# values on the byte.
#
# Hex Binary Meaning
# -------------------------
# 0 0b00 L0 only
# 1 0b01 L0s only
# 2 0b10 L1 only
# 3 0b11 L1 and L0s

# TODO: patches are welcomed to me until we submit to to

#
# This can be improved by in this order:
#
# * Accept arguments for endpoint and root complex address, and
# desired ASPM settings
# * Look for your ASPM capabilities by quering your
# LnkCap register first. Use these values to let you
# select whether you want to enable only L1 or L1 & L0s
# * Searching for your root complex for you
# * Search for your PCI device by using the driver
# * Disable your driver and ask to reboot ?
# * Rewrite in C
# * Write ncurses interface [ wishlist ]
# * Write GTK/QT interface [ wishlist ]
# * Submit upstream as aspm.c to the PCI Utilities, which are

Now the ASPM Status is enabled:
I also set Unpopulated Links in the BIOS to disabled. I gues this is what they call ASMP?
Further, I used powertop to check if the ARC device is on AUTO, and yes, it is, but the actions taken don't seem to bring any effect regarding the power consumption.
When I run powertop --auto-tune the system freezes. I tried to set all pci devices to auto one by one but could figure out which on freezes the system.
Do you guys have any suggestions what else I could try to get the ARC Card to sleep when it's not in use?
