Are you running a custom version of Linux on it? It could be that frequency scaling and other power saving features are not enabled.

I guess that 6.8W is measured at the wall. This translates to about 5.5W DC. It would be interesting to see what is the CPU utilization. Normally at idle the CPU consumes about 1.5W. It was indeed measured at the wall. The CPU is completely idle. I think 4W shared between RAM/mSATA/WiFi/Ethernet/Au...

Interesting. What did you boot from?

I'm interested to see some power consumption numbers you guys get when the fitlet is idle. Just to get an idea if there are some useful kernel or other settings that I've missed.
