Description
Once nice thing about microcontrollers is their low power consumption. We should measure it! While running inference and while idle/suspended.
I assume it'll consume less power when driven with 3.3V directly instead of 5V USB. I think the PMIC used here should work with a battery. Sheets 3 and 4 of this schematic are probably useful to figure this out.
There are also some relevant notes on power savings in this draft.

Research direction
Review sheets 3 and 4 of the Coral Dev Board Micro schematic and the power-saving notes in draft-coral-appnotes/PowerSavings.pdf to identify the relevant power paths and measurement setup. Measure consumption during inference and while idle or suspended, comparing direct 3.3V power with 5V USB if feasible, and document the results.
