Hi all!
I searched the Internet for what the Mars power consumption is. All I found is Jeff Geerling’s measurements that the Mars CM idles at 1.1W.
Can you confirm what idle power the Milk-V Mars has?
Also, if you do some tricks like set some “power saver” mode in the Linux kernel, powering off CPU cores, lowering the CPU clock, or powering off the WIFI or Ethernet interface, does that make the idle power go even lower?
Thanks!
