These implementations of the energymon
interface read from INA-231 power
sensors on Hardkernel ODROID systems running Linux.
The power sensors are polled at regular intervals to estimate energy
consumption.
One implementation uses sysfs
and the other uses ioctl
.
You must be using an ODROID system with embedded power sensors. This has been tested on the XU+E and XU3 models.
If using the sysfs
implementation, the sensors must be enabled in advance.
Sensors can be found in /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/INA231/
.
So for example, to enable the sensors:
echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/INA231/3-0040/enable
echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/INA231/3-0041/enable
echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/INA231/3-0044/enable
echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/INA231/3-0045/enable
