Energy Mode Setup
To run in Energy Mode, the following parts are required to set up the benchmark framework:
| Component | Product | Links |
|---|---|---|
| Energy Monitor (50mA max.) | STMicro. LPM01A (v1.0.6) | STM - Farnell - Mouser |
| Level Shifter | BSS138 x4 | Adafruit - Digikey |
| IO Manager | Arduino UNO | Arduino - DigiKey |
| Breadboard | Pololu 400pt | Pololu - Digikey |
| Hookup Wires | E-Z-Hook | E-Z-Hook - DigiKey |
| Headers (extra tall) | Samtec Inc. | Samtec - DigiKey |
The firmware for the IO Manager Arduino is available from the EEMBC member area for licensees only. This can be programmed directly to the UNO using the Arduino IDE.
The components are connected as follows:
When running the GUI in Energy Mode, remember to deselect the “Use performance-only mode…” checkbox at the top of the “Benchmark Configuration” tile. Otherwise, when initializing the GUI will search for a direct-connected DUT and fail. When initialization completes, both the EMON and IO Manager will be mounted, and the rest of the GUI works the same way except now both power and performance data will be collected and reported.
