__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
*Tamb = 22.5 °C
*system layout and configuration
**SBCX and LCD are enclosed in a metal box that lies on a table horizontally (see also the following picturelike test bed #2)
**Axel Lite SOM is thermally coupled to an aluminium heat pipe
***heat pipe dimensions are: 40x22x16.5mm [1]

===Test bed #5===
*Tamb = 22 °C
*system layout and configuration
**sytem layout is the same used in test bed #4, apart from the orientation: in this case the box is verticaltbd inserire fotolike test bed #3
[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.
