Introduction

==Introduction==
Providing theorical theoretical maximum power consumption value would be unuseful useless for the majority of system designer 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.
{{ImportantMessage|text=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=====Testbed===
Measurements have been performed on the following platform:
* Naon SOM: DAF7910C0R
* HDVICP2 frequency: 306 MHz
===Use cases===
In the following table there's the summary result of data reported by INA226 in different checkpoint.
* cpuburn heavily uses Cortex-A8 and Neon to maximize power consumption and heat spreading. See the [http://packages.debian.org/sid/cpuburn debian package information] (burnCortexA8.s) for more information
* please note that shunt voltage value is rounded
==Set #2==

===Testbed===
Measurements have been performed on the following platform:
* Naon SOM: DAF7910C0R
* carrier board: [[NaonEVB-Lite]]
* System software: [[Naon Embedded Linux Kit (NELK)]] 2.0.0 Alpha
* power monitor: INA226 (reference U20 of [[NaonEVB-Lite]] schematics).
* ARM Cortex-A8 frequency: 600 MHz
* SDRAM size: 512 MByte
