Hello,
I have just installed OpenBSD 7.5 on a Raspberry Pi 4-B. Everything went ok but
looking at power consumption, it seems to draw nearly the double as what
Raspian OS does. The RPI gets its power from a POE adapter and I can see about
13W used when IDLE (Raspian OS seems to limit to 7W IDLE) ; even with apmd
running. I can't see any speed information in sysctl or dmesg.
Is there any power management that can be enabled when running OpenBSD on the
RPI4?
Thanks,
Joel C.
Small update: after a few hours, power consumption suddenly went down to
about 5W ; and stays there when IDLE. Maybe the 13W were because of some
first-boot process running that I didn' t notice in top(1).
kernel relinking?
Yes, probably. I forgot about it.
