Description
The Lynsyn Lite measures the power usage of embedded and customised low-energy computing (CLEC) systems. A sampling frequency of up to 10kHz is used.
The Lynsyn Lite features three sensors that measure both current and voltage and, although it has been designed to primarily support application power profiling primarily of systems based on ARM Cortex A9, A53 and A57 cores, there is no need to purchase a separate JTAG pod as it is a replacement for the Xilinx Platform Cable USB-II and can, therefore, also be used as a generic JTAG programming device with the Xilinx Vivado tool suite and a remotely controlled current/voltage meter over USB. Lynsyn Lite is compatible with both Linux and Windows operating systems and includes open-source software that both samples and visualises measurement results.
The software and all information on using it can be found in the original Lynsyn Lite GitHub page and a full guide is available on the Sundance Lynsyn Lite Wiki Page.
The Lynsyn Lite is a dual-purpose card for both power measurement and JTAG communications. It can monitor voltage and current on three independent sensors, with voltage ranges between 0V and 23V and currents between 0A and 5A.
By default, and as supplied with the V3.1 hardware, the sensors are set to be as the table below:
