== Thomas Abraham <thomas-ab>  ==

=== Highlights ===

* Completed the power measurement with and without memory regions patches,
  but did not find any savings in power consumed.

* Did further testing at hardware level (with only u-boot executing, no linux)
  and found a issue with memory controller settings. After fixing the issue,
  there is about 60mA of savings when all the banks of the 4 DDR3 modules
  connected to one memory controller are kept in precharge power-down
  mode versus when read/write activity are active on them.

* Submitted third version of the clkdev patches.

=== Plans ===

* Re-run the tests with memory regions patches. Also find a test
  equipment that can provide average power consumed when a
  test case is executed.
