Hi,
I ordered my first Axon SBC and I’m super excited to use it once it arrives.
Can I disable peripherals so they do not consume power? For example I will not be using USB, so I want to disable power to the USB ports. I will be using the Axon as a companion computer for AI tasks on my robot, and want to ensure minimal power usage as possible
For example, will this work?
sudo apt install uhubctl
uhubctl -l 1-1 -p 2 -a off
Any thoughts?
Thank you
vicharak@vicharak:~$ sudo uhubctl
Current status for hub 3 [1d6b:0002 Linux 6.1.75-axon ehci_hcd EHCI Host Controller fc880000.usb, USB 2.00, 1 ports, ppps]
Port 1: 0100 power
Current status for hub 6 [1d6b:0002 Linux 6.1.75-axon ehci_hcd EHCI Host Controller fc800000.usb, USB 2.00, 1 ports, ppps]
Port 1: 0100 power
Now, If you want to off Upper Side of USB 2.0 Port Then run below Command :
sudo uhubctl -l 6 -p 1 -a 0
-l
refers to location ID (hub number in your case).
-p 1
refers to port number (you have only one port per hub).
- You must always control just one hub at a time with
uhubctl
You will get below output with confirmation.
