ULPBench - "Ultra-low power" (ULP) 1. There are different software tests for the comprehensive measurement of the microcontroller’s efficiency. 2. There is the so-called EEMBC EnergyMonitor, consisting of the EnergyMonitor board to make the physical energy consumption measurements. Preparing for the ULPBench Test Measurements Obtain the EnergyMonitor hardware from EEMBC Register the EnergyMonitor at the EEMBC website Accept the license agreement terms, and confirm registration by e-mail received After completing the registration, download the ULPBench software (ulp_1.1.11.tgz) Install the software Connect the USB port of the EnergyMonitor Board (Figure 1) with a USB port on the PC (a dedicated USB hub is preferred). Note: the USB driver must be manually installed because the USB driver is not recognized by the PC. The appropriate drivers are located in the /bin/USB_CDC folder. Connect the terminals +3 V (VCC) and ground (GND) to the test board (DUT).
