iMX8M Industrial Power Consumption
Revision as of 12:37, 20 November 2025 by Voipac (talk | contribs) (→iMX8M Industrial Development Kit Max)
This page contains maximum power consumption measurements for the iMX8M Industrial Development Kits in all 3 standard webshop configurations. All of the sets used during the test procedure were running the default Linux distribution and booted up from the eMMC NAND Flash Memory.
Note: While measured, the development kits were placed under a very heavy load - using stress test application putting CPU, memories, Ethernet and HDMI under challenging conditions.
Test setup and measuring equipment
- power supply: BK Precision 1688B
- 2x digital multimeter: Fluke 115 True RMS
- digital multimeter: Solartron 7045
- measured at: 22°C ambient temperature
