Energy debugging in embedded applications

摘要

There is an ever-growing number of embedded systems applications where energy saving and efficiency are at the top of developers' priorities. These priorities can be due to government regulations, a requirement to increase battery life, or simply a need to lower electricity usage.rnTo accommodate this trend, a growing number of "ultra-low-power" microcontrollers have become available. However, tools that provide developers with detailed monitoring of their systems' energy consumption have not accompanied them, at least until very recently.
