====== Battery Powered Raspberry Pi ======

The goal of this bunch of tests is to measure how long a Raspberry Pi can stay on when powered using an external cell phone battery pack. Different software configurations and runtime environments will be tested.

===== Scenario 1: Ethernet setup =====

^  Item      ^  Description                  ^
|  **Hardware**    | Raspberry Pi Model B rev 2. CPU: 700 MHz ARM1176JZF-S core. Memory: 512 MB. Onboard storage: SD 16 GB |
|  **Software**    | Raspbian GNU/Linux Debian Wheezy |
|  **Networking**    | Fast Ethernet 100 Mbit/s |
|  **Power Supply**    | [[http://www.cellularline.com/catalog/en/product/usb_pocket_charger_smart|Cellularline USB pocket charger smart]] 2200 mAh, output: 5 V DC 1000mA, weight 62 grams |
|  **OS / Software tweaks**    | Nothing, the Raspbian OS is run with standard configuration |
|  **CPU load**    | Idle operating system, no user applications |
|  **Network load**    | The Raspberry Pi receives a 56 byte ICMP ECHO_REQUEST every minute and responds accordingly with the standard|
