rpiburn

Raspberry power supply testing, while monitoring system for anomalies.

rpiburn is a tool for heavy load Raspberry Pi hardware testing. It will make the board to consume as much current as possible, but aborts if the processor becomes overheated, a brownout (under voltage) condition occur or something else bad happens. Note that board consumption is of interest! This is not necessarily the same as maxing out the processor (although that's used too). Testing can be conducted in the background, the program tries to be nice with limited resources. It´s also quite fast; usually testing finishes in less than two seconds.

Measured values

Pi model Current (mA)
1B+ 320
2B 650
3B 1300 with Neon and 830 without

:warning: Use at your own risk! This program overheats a RPi 3 in just 10 seconds. :smiley:
