3.2 Use Case 2: iPerf Test

From the Use Case 1 “Linux Idle” condition, a network bandwidth test (iPerf3)(1) is started on the Gigabit Ethernet interface. SAMA7G54-EK serves as the client and a distant PC runs the server side. This use case results in maximum(2) power consumption values on the VDDCPU and VDDCORE.

Note:
  1. For more information on iPerf3 tests, refer to https://iperf.fr/.
  2. Other tests were conducted on SAMA7G54, involving the camera sensor interface and/or additional DMA transfers, but none of them resulted in more power than the iPerf3 test. This test can therefore be considered as a “maximum power” test for SAMA7G54.
