OpenEPT Ecosystem
High-end open hardware to analyse energy consumption
With the increasing prevalence of battery-powered embedded systems, the efficient utilization of limited energy resources has become a critical priority in firmware development. Our goal is to provide a compatible set of hardware and software tools that will facilitate analysis of energy consumption and support systematic firmware energy optimization. The Open Energy Profiler Toolset (OpenEPT) ecosystem will provide diverse hardware solutions, a user-friendly interface encapsulated in a GUI application, and a collaborative database infrastructure that brings together engineers and researchers to drive innovations in the field of battery-powered technologies. OpenEPT hardware will enable energy measurements for a diverse range of applications from low-power, single-cell battery-powered embedded systems to multi-cell LiPo battery-powered systems with high current consumption. The user-friendly OpenEPT Graphical User Interface will incorporate advanced features for analyzing firmware energy footprints and easy identification of energy bottlenecks in the system. The OpenEPT database infrastructure will facilitate collaboration between engineers and researchers by promoting data exchange. This shared data will be crucial for battery models development and validation, energy optimization in embedded systems, algorithm training and testing, educational purposes, and the further development of open-source solutions in battery-powered embedded systems.
