Max-Q and Max-P Power Efficiency

The Orin supports three different power modes known as 15W, 30W, and 50W. For each mode, several configurations with various CPU and GPU frequencies, and a number of cores online are possible.

Mode ID 0 1 2 3
Power Budget EDP 15W 30W 50W
Online CPU 12 4 8 12
CPU Max Frequency (MHz) 2147.48 1.1136 1.728 1.4976
GPU Max Frecuency (MHz) 2147.48 420.75 624.75 828.75
DLA Max Frequency (MHz) 2147.48 1369.6 750 1369.6
PVA Cores 2 1 1 1
PVA Max Frequency (MHz) 1088 307.2 512 704


The default mode is id 0. EDP represents the limits and therefore has no power budget.

A utility is provided to change the board operations between these modes. In order to change the current operation mode use the command:

ID=2
sudo /usr/sbin/nvpmodel -m $ID

The mode persists across power cycles and won't change unless nvpmodel is called again.

In order to find the current mode use:

sudo /usr/sbin/nvpmodel -q

Extra Definitions can be added in a file located in:

/etc/nvpmodel/nvpmodel_t194.conf
