How to measure the fpga power alone from the external pin?

Dear Everyone,

I am trying to measure the power traces consumed by the fpga alone of the DE1-SoC board, while the system is processing the data. Can I do that by sensing any of the external pins? The measurement should not include the power of the other blocks on board.

thank you,

    Hi SSM,

    I don't think you can measure the fpga power alone using Cyclone V.

    You can try to check the DE1-SoC board schematic whether they are provided the voltage sensing in board (at power regulator maybe).

    Thanks
