Introduction[edit | edit source]

Providing theoretical maximum power consumption value would be useless for the majority of system designers building their application upon Naon module because, in most cases, this would lead to an oversized power supply unit.

Several configurations have been tested in order to provide figures that are measured on real-world use cases instead. Please note that Naon platform is so flexible that is virtually impossible to test for all possible configurations and applications on the market. The use cases here presented should cover most of real-world scenarios. However actual customer application might require more power than values reported here. Generally speaking, application specific requirements have to be taken into consideration in order to size power supply unit and to implement thermal management properly.

For an exhaustive description about power management on Naon and to understand power consumption connected to the available operating points (OPP), please refer to NELK Power Management section.

Set #1[edit | edit source]

Testbed[edit | edit source]

Measurements have been performed on the following platform:

  • Naon SOM: DAF7910C0R
  • carrier board: NaonEVB-Lite
  • System software: NELK 1.0.0
  • power monitor: INA226 (reference U20 of NaonEVB-Lite schematics).
  • ARM Cortex-A8 frequency: 600 MHz
  • SDRAM size: 512 MByte
  • SDRAM frequency: 400 MHz
  • HDVICP2 frequency: 306 MHz

Use cases[edit | edit source]

In the following table there's the summary result of data reported by INA226 in different checkpoint.

Checkpoint Input Voltage [mV] Shunt Voltage [mV] Current [mA] Power Consumption [mW]
Linux Prompt (M3 Unloaded) 3266 8 779 2550
Linux Prompt (M3 Loaded) 3261 10 1040 3400
cpuBurnA8 (M3 Loaded) 3258 12 1235 3900
decode & display H264 1080p60 on HDMI 3258 12 1219 3975
decode & display H264 1080p60 + cpuBurnA8 3255 14 1352 4450

Additional notes and reference:

  • M3 Unloaded means that the two Cortex-M3 firmware has not yet been started (see /etc/init.d/load-hd-firmware.sh)
  • for decode/display test the sample /usr/bin/runDecodeDisplayHDMI has been used
  • cpuburn heavily uses Cortex-A8 and Neon to maximize power consumption and heat spreading. See the debian package information (burnCortexA8.s) for more information
  • please note that shunt voltage value is rounded

  • ARM Cortex-A8 frequency: 600 MHz
  • SDRAM size: 512 MByte
  • SDRAM frequency: 400 MHz
  • HDVICP2 frequency: 306 MHz
