Monitoring Actual Realtime Power

[davegravy]

Hi, I'm brand new to FPGA development. I noticed that I can see a realtime view of various voltages via Vivado -> Hardware Manager -> XADC System Monitor -> Dashboard. 

Is there an easy way to also get a measure of currents associated with each voltage, such that power can be calculated (P=I*V)? 

I saw a quicktake video of a Xilinx employee showing a plot of realtime power of each subsystem, while downclocking and putting various components into standby... not sure if there was some special instrumentation involved.

If it matters, I'm using a Digilent Cora-Z7 dev board.

Hi @davegravy,

Have you figured out how to monitor the power consumption?

Thanks,

Mouj

Use the Xilinx Document Navigator. There are application notes for non-ZYNQ and ZYNQ devices. The SDK has additional support for the XADC in the Standalone OS. I'd expect that so does Vitis, though I don't use Vitis very often.
