 * See [wiki:venice/thermal ] for more information about reducing thermals with your Venice SBC


= Venice Power Dissipation

The following table provides typical power consumption (Watts) for the various Venice board models without any attached peripherals.

 * IMX8MM FEC GbE Link costs ~250mW and ~840mW when passing line speed traffic
 * LAN743x PCIe GbE Link costs ~190mW and ~620mW when passing line speed traffic
 * (3) GW7401 has an i.MX8M Plus compared to the rest of the family, which has an i.MX8M Mini.

Notes:
* GW7000 - Quad Core 1600MHz IMX8MM 1GiB LPDDR4, 8GiB eMMC
* GW7001 - Quad Core 1600MHz IMX8MM 4GiB LPDDR4, 64GiB eMMC
* GW7300-00 - Quad Core 1600Mhz IMX8MM 1GiB LPDDR4, 8GiB eMMC, 2x USB2, 2x GbE, 3x PCIe+USB2
* GW7301-01 - Quad Core 1600Mhz IMX8MM 4GiB LPDDR4, 64GiB eMMC, 2x USB2, 2x GbE, 3x PCIe+USB2, GPS, !WiFi/BT

== Reducing Power
NXP has several excellent application notes on how to reduce the power for the various i.MX8M CPUs. See the following links:

== Low Power Sleep Mode
The Venice family has a M4/M7 coprocessor that may allow for low power / sleep functions.

The single board computer also as a seperate Gateworks System Controller that can completely shut down the entire board and sleep for a defined amount of time, only drawing power from the small onboard coin cell battery. Read more here: [wiki:gsc#HardwareSleepandWake]
