== Newport Thermal Ratings ==

Gateworks pre-installs a heatsink on the CPU for all Newport boards. This heatsink provides basic cooling for the board during development but customers need to design their own thermal solution based on their particular enclosure, environment and operating conditions. 

The Cavium CN80xx Octeon TX CPU is rated at:

* 800MHz Dual Core (CN8020 - BGA676)
 * Max: 100C Tj (Junction Temp), 95C Tc (Case Temp)
 * Min: -40C Tj (Junction Temp), -40C Tc (Case Temp)

* 1.5GHz Quad Core (CN8030 - BGA676)
 * Max: 95C Tj (Junction Temp), 90C Tc (Case Temp)
 * Min: -40C Tj (Junction Temp), -40C Tc (Case Temp)

== Newport Temperature Readings ==

Newport currently has the ability to measure the board temperature. 

CPU temperature is not available at this time.

From Gateworks testing, it has been observed the CPU temperature is typically around 20C higher than the measured board temperature.

Board temperature can be measured as shown on the GSC wiki page here: [http://trac.gateworks.com/wiki/gsc#SystemTemperatureandVoltageMonitor Reading Newport Board Temperature]

'''Warning''' There is no automatic shutdown of the CPU / Board if the temperature goes over the maximum rating of the CPU. Therefore, the temperature needs to be monitored and handled appropriately. 

== Newport Power Dissipation ==

The following table provides typical power consumption for the various Newport board models without any attached peripherals.

 == Newport Thermal Image ==

The following image is for the GW6300 board with the stock Gateworks heatsink. 

 * Test Condition: 2 hours, Linux prompt, natural convection
 * Tambient @ 25C, CPU @ 75.9C, Board @ 67.5C.

== Newport Heatsinks ==

The Newport has CPUs that have the following package sizes:
 * 27x27mm (GW63xx,GW64xx)
 * 21x21mm (GW61xx,GW62xx)

The Newport board comes with a heatsink that has a fan on top for cooling (fansink).
 * GW10130 Fansink - Used on GW61xx, GW62xx 
 * GW10129 Fansink - Used on GW63xx, GW64xx
