Power consumption on AM06 (5800U)

Post by **gsky2** » Sat Jul 01, 2023 8:43 pm

Does anyone have some data on the power consumption of this? I am interested in idle power consumption running linux (I plan to run OpenWRT) and the device is idle most of the time.

I’m getting about 7 watts at idle.

I am running OpenWRT (snapshot with the 5.15.119 kernel and also with the 6.1.36 kernel) and am getting 5 W idle. Same 5 W idle under Arch Linux.
Running snort in IPS mode with SQM on a Gbit connection while running a download test varies between 16-35 W with the avg around 28 W.
