Providing theoretical power consumption values would be useless for the majority of system designers building their application upon SBC Lynx board. Practically speaking, these figures would be in fact worthless when of no help it comes to size system power supply unit or to perform system thermal designof real systems. Instead, several configurations have been tested in order to provide figures that are measured on real-world use cases.

Instead, several configurations have been tested in order to provide figures that are measured on real-world use cases. Please note that SBC Lynx platform is extremely flexible{{efn|Consider for example the expandability assured by J45/J52 interfaces.}}, so it 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.
