<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi all,<div><br></div><div>Does anyone know how to best reduce Minnowboard power by switching off unused parts of the system?</div><div><br></div><div>My board draws around 1.3 amps with no user process running. My intend is to get a user process running that, when it is waiting for a (timer) event and does not need many of the Minnowboard devices, draws significantly less. </div><div><br></div><div>Do I simply unload linux modules of unused devices (e.g. sata or ethernet)? Or do I need to actively put drivers in D3 state? Does anyone have experience or tips on this? </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div> </div></body>
