Test Cases
Before I do this swap, I need to get a benchmark of (at least) two identical Pis so I have a baseline of their performance in stock configuration. These systems need to be as identical as possible, both in terms of software load out as well as their physical deployment.
Software
- OS - Alpine Linux 3.17
- Timekeeping/measurement - chrony
Configured to be as light and slim as possible.
Physical
This will be an isolated test, no
Power
Meanwell 5v PSU powering both Pis - “back feeding” through the 5v pin on the 40p header. AC PSU connected to a UPS to protect against brownouts or extended outages.
Environmental
Both Pis enclosed in a single styrofoam enclosure, as close to each other as reasonable.
