POWER consumption at runtime on NXP i.MX93 & i.MX8MPLUS EVK

I am using NXP i.MX93 & i.MX8MPLUS EVK and want to monitor the POWER consumption at runtime how can I get this data ?

The agenda is to monitor the power during the inference of AI-models. How can I monitor the power metrics ? 

How can I monitor power metrics using only software, without any external hardware?

Re: POWER consumption at runtime on NXP i.MX93 & i.MX8MPLUS EVKThank you for this detailed information and reference to ANI3054. This is very helpful.

Does the i.MX93 EVK also have a similar power measurement setup , or is there a different approach recommended for i.MX93?Re: POWER consumption at runtime on NXP i.MX93 & i.MX8MPLUS EVK

Please refer to the document AN13054 i.MX 8M Plus Power Consumption Measurement

To measure the power consumption, the PWR CPU board is designed with current sense resistors of suitable value inserted
between the PMIC and CPU for each key power rail. The power data is obtained by sampling the average voltage drop across
the sense resistors using power monitor chip PAC1934. The voltage drop for each power supply is divided by its sense resistor
value within the BCU PC software tool to calculate the current.
