===================================== Power Measurements with Astra Machina ===================================== Later revisions of Astra Machina contain the two power monitor ICs which can be used to measure the current and voltage of the system. Values can be read using the Linux Kernel's `Hardware Monitoring Interface `__. Astra Machina uses the `TI INA220 Current and Power Monitor `__ and `TI INA3221 Shunt and Bus Voltage Monitor `__ ICs. Documentation for the hwmon kernel drivers can be found here: `ina220 `__ and `ina3221 `__. Performing Measurements ======================= Here is an example of reading Current (mA) channels on SL1640: :: cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/curr1_input (ina322) 856 cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/curr2_input (ina322) 32 cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/curr3_input (ina322) 60 cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/curr1_input (ina2xx) 7 cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/curr1_input (ina2xx) 67 cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon3/curr1_input(ina2xx) 63 Here is an example of reading Bus voltage (mV) channels on SL1640: :: cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/in1_input (ina322) 800 cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/in2_input (ina322) 840 cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/in3_input (ina322) 1104 cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/in1_input (ina2xx) 624 cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/in1_input (ina2xx) 3384 cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon3/in1_input (ina2xx) 1860 Here is an example of reading Power (uW) channels on SL1640: :: cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/power1_input 0 cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/power1_input 220000 class/hwmon/hwmon3/power1_input 140000 In this example we can calculate total power: | 856 * 800 = 684800 uW | 32 * 840 = 26880 uW | 60 * 1104 = 66240 uW | Total Power = 1137920uW = 1138mW Supported Boards ================ Initial versions of Astra Machina did not contain the power monitor ICs.
