I.MX6 Solo power management

[davidziv]

Hello.

I'm new to this processor.

I'm trying to test power consumption.

#echo standby > /sys/power/state

Will this command put the SOM to minimal power consumption?

I have been streaming video

#gst-launch imxv4l2src  capture-mode=4 fps-n=15 ! vpuenc codec=6 ! queue ! rtph264pay ! udpsink host=37.142.163.100 port=5000 -v &

and them tried the

#echo standby > /sys/power/state

The system entered standby, but I didn't see any effect on the current measurement.

Thanks

Hi David

suggest to look at AN4715

AN4715, i.MX 6Solo Power Consumption Measurement - Application Note

it shows low power measurement. Note that other peripheral chips may

contribute to figures which you are measuring.

Best regards

igor
