EEMBC creates IoT Bluetooth power consumption benchmark for MCUs

EEMBC-IoTMARK-BLE

Benchmarking consortium EEMBC has created a tool to measure the combined energy consumption of an IoT edge node’s sensor interface, processor, and Bluetooth LE radio interface. Part of the IoTMark benchmarking suite, it is called IoTMark-BLE benchmark. IoTMark-BLE models a node consisting of an I²C sensor and a BLE – radio through sleep, advertise, and connected-mode operation. At its centre ...
