Lynsyn is a power measurement device designed to perform power profiling of applications running on ARM Cortex A based systems. Allthough designed for ARM systems, it can be used as a generic power profiling tool.

Features

• Several independent power sensors
  • 3 for Lynsyn Lite (each measures both voltage and current)
  • 7 for Lynsyn Original (current only)
• Correlates power measurements with source code by sampling program counters over JTAG
  • JTAG sampling supports ARM Cortex A cores (currently A9, A53 and A57)
• Can sample continuously with up to 10kHz sampling frequency
• Can be used as a generic remotely controlled current/voltage meter
• Can be used as a generic USB JTAG programmer with Xilinx Vivado tools.
• Includes open source software that samples and visualises the results

This wiki explains both the hardware boards that exist and the accompanying software. If you are new to Lynsyn and its software, we recommend you to first go trough the guide explaining the task you are interested in.
