Hi, is anyone maybe willing to make powertop for x86_64 and the x86 branches? Im probably not alone wanting to see what is causing most power usage and maybe do some config against it.
Thank you in advance.
Hmm, I forgot about it, and I'm interested in low power consumption, I'll try to pack it

Thank you, i can test the package once youre ready. Sadly my programming skills are far to low to contribute anything useful.
Here are some old gits that i found looking for the package. Powertop was once in OpenWrt 12.09:
I took a quick look at it, but I don't know why libnl libs are missing at packing despite the fact that I had them on DEPENDS, but I'm sure I'll resolve that

do you know how to build the package yourself ?
I did a mistake on not running menuconfig and saving changes that's why I had the libs missing
you need to have installed DEPENDS:=+pciutils +libstdcpp +libncursesw +libnl-genl
this is a 64bit package

it's missing some pci dev, but I'll try to see why is not picking the libs
Not really 
I will try it later on tonight.
libpci.pc is not installed in libs so it wouldn't be picked and some more fixup to pciutils are needed because it will fail with
libpci.a(names-parse.o): in function id_parse_list': ..undefined reference togzgets'
etc

We have time 
I will maybe ask a friend to help so... we will see
it's almost finished but for pci youll need the libpci also, but you can try the first one and if not today, maybe tomorrow
So i had a few minutes times, some things already works, some not:
idle stats:
Pkg(OS) | CPU(OS) 0
| CPU(OS) 1
Frequency stats:
Package | CPU 0
1.80 GHz 0.0% | 1.80 GHz 0.0%
1500 MHz 0.0% | 1500 MHz 0.0%
800 MHz 0.0% | 800 MHz 0.0%
Idle 0.0% | Idle 0.0%
| CPU 1
| 1.80 GHz 0.0%
| 1500 MHz 0.0%
| 800 MHz 0.0%
| Idle 0.0%
Under 'device stats', it seems the cpu stats are broken:
-0.0% CPU use
Under 'overview', the summary seem broken too:
Summary: -nan wakeups/second, -nan GPU ops/seconds, -nan VFS ops/sec and -0.0% CPU use

autotune give me the same with this:
failed to find a module named cpufreq_stats
that one needs an option in kernel CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STATS=Y
maybe it will be accepted who knows
Do you know how i can turn this on in the imagegebuilder? I can make an image later on.
you can't have it because is not in SDK
Damn, so we need to make a request i guess, then it should land quickly in master. Should we do it in the bug tracker i guess?
maybe I'll make a PR to be available as a module
try this one, it has libpci support, maybe it has something more

tested it and PR

libpci is working nicely:

I think it needs some folder to store the config, I saw at program exit that it couldn't save something, I'll test the kernel module to see if it adds something
