Qualcomm^®^ Linux^®^ is enabled with power and thermal features that
            allow you to monitor and optimize power consumption while maintaining the junction
            temperature within the limit.

- **[Overview](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70015-30/topic/poweroverview.html)**  

This guide helps you to develop energy-efficient products or applications that         balance performance and power consumption.
- **[Getting started](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70015-30/topic/get-started.html)**  

This section explains how to develop software using Qualcomm Linux. Before you begin,         set up your infrastructure as described in [Qualcomm Linux Build Guide](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70015-254/introduction.html). This guide also         provides information about the common build workflow.
- **[Architecture](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70015-30/topic/architecture.html)**  

The CPU subsystem architecture describes the organization of CPU cores and their         power domains. Understanding the architecture helps you to monitor the CPU core usage and         make decisions to balance the power consumption and performance of Qualcomm Linux.
- **[Power states and features](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70015-30/topic/powerfeatures.html)**  

The power saving states, also referred to as sleep states enable you to review the         power states before, during, and after running an application. The process ensures a         comprehensive power sanity check of the device.
- **[SoC reference power measurement](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70015-30/topic/socreference-power-measurement.html)**  

This guide provides the reference of power measurements of SoC for sleep and         SpeckInt2k6 use cases.
- **[Debug](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70015-30/topic/debug.html)**  

To enhance the power efficiency of Qualcomm Linux, it is crucial to optimize the         power consumption of both the SoC and the CPU.
