Dear all:
1: Jetson Orin Nano 8GB devkit in SUPER MAXN model, jetpack is jetpack6.2
2: As following picture show: CPU GPU and EMMC all load to full state, but the power just run to 13W.

 3: GPU stress test: ./gpu-bure -d 1000  ; cpu stress test: stress -c 6 &
     emmc test: memtester

 4:  According to the evaluator's evaluation, the loading level is 15W at low level，  and can reach 23W at high levels.

So:  How can we achieve high levels. or  how to make jetson orin nano 8GB development board power up to 25W?

Thanks all !!! best regards!!!

Hi 848145724,

May I know what’s your use case? Just to test the highest power that Orin Nano could achieve?
Or you are running specific application in your case?

MAXN is just an un-constrained mode rather than best performance mode.
We would suggest creating a custom power mode configurations according to your running application or you might get throttling and get performance decreased.
You can simply check the dmesg or run the following commands to check if you got OC event.

# grep "" /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon*/oc*

From the image you shared, it seems you hit hot-surface issue.
Please also take care of the cooling plan in your setup.

Yes , we just want to test the highest power about jetson orin nano.
GPU stress test tool source code is here:https://codeload.github.com/anseeto/jetson-gpu-burn/
CPU stress test tool : sudo apt-get install stress
EMMC stress test tool: sudo apt-get install memtester
Following is related log when run stress test:

dad3bae6f70bac540922a0982f36a35701×169 4.22 KB

dmesg.log (59.6 KB)

It seems you don’t hit OC event and there’s no error in dmesg.

Do you share the results after you run the test?
I would expect there’re some messages showing “Caution-Hot surface. Do Not Touch.” which appears in original post.

Please also share the result of the following command on your board.

$ nvpmodel -q --verbose
$ cat /etc/nvpmodel.conf

Caution-Hot sorface, Do Not Touch appers in hdmi.

this is nvpmodel.conf file in /etc/
nvpmodel.conf.txt (8.0 KB)

Besides, after run following test, the power just up about 0.5W.
./video_dec_cuda ../../data/Video/sample_outdoor_car_1080p_10fps.h264 H264

Even if : run in 25W model, the power is about 10W.

It seems to diffcult up to 25w with jetson orin nano 8GB dev kit.

Does there are limit about power in system?

There is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue anymore.
Hence, we are closing this topic. If need further support, please open a new one.
Thanks ~0618

I would expect some related messages also showing in dmesg/serial console log.

Could you also run sudo jetson_clocks and refer to the following instruction to run matrixMulCUBLAS and check the power consumption?
