reducing heat
Posted: Tue Feb 02, 2021 5:37 pm
I am trying to reduce the power usage and heat for a specific applications. I am only using one of the ethernet ports, and no wifi. Also, I am trying to reduce the CPU clock so it only does what I need.
In this forum there is information about how to do it:
mmio 0x1000003c 0x03040201
Is the mems command (included in the firmware) and mmio the same? It doesn't seem to be working.
I also tried this blog entry:

Turning off all the unused ethernet ports. I don't really see any decrease in current.
I am exploring a couple more possibilities and maybe somebody has already tried it:
1. Using a lower input voltage than 5V. Would that reduce heat?
2. Using ffmpeg instead of mjpeg_streamer. ffmpeg might be lighter considering the lack of a web server.
