OK, that I can make sense of.


I can see no problem with the display of CPU%, either the total summary or the indiviual listings.

It follows the battery current draw from -168ma (98.8%) to -2ma (less than 0.0%).

Which is reasonable and about the only thing that is reasonable about this problem.

But I will try to get 'per cvm thread' numbers also.

For the non-hardware guru readers:

The SoC is built with CMOS logic.
A characteristic of CMOS logic is that the current draw increases with (both) the frequency the logic devices switch states and the number of logic devices switching states.

Plus -
The problem is that the device is using too much battery power.
The comments about cpu load are just side-effects of whatever the real problem is.

And a real far out comment:
Keep in mind the SoC is no longer "Freescale" but "NXD" -
The new company owners may have let a manufacturing error slip into the process of building the i.MX6 devices.
The few people reporting problems may just have Kindles built with the floor sweepings of the chip foundry (higher chip construction error rates == lowered production costs).
