__FORCETOC__
Settings common to all test beds:
*SBCX supply voltage: 12V
*Linux governor: TBDperformance*LCD backlight intensity: 100%(in terms of power, this is about 1.6W)
*still air flow
*software load [1]
*system layout and configuration
**SBCX and LCD lie on a table horizontally (see also the following picture)

[1] Even if the software load is the same for all of the test beds, overall and SOM power consumptions may differ accross across the test beds. This is due to the silicon static power consumption that is a function of the temperature itself.
