Controlling the power mode of Xavier

Source of this text is here

To call nvpmodel:

$ sudo nvpmodel -m [mode]
where mode is the number of the mode that you want to use. For example:

$ sudo nvpmodel -m 0
places the Jetson into MAXN mode.

You can query which mode is currently being used:

$ sudo nvpmodel -q --verbose
The file /etc/nvpmodel.conf holds the different models. Developers can add their own models to add different modes suitable to their application.

Note: nvpmodel settings are persistent across sessions. That is, if the Xavier reboots, the nvpmodel settings remain in effect.
