Something like below to calculate bandwidth usage:
i.MX8MM LPDDR4 board: ((read-cycles + write-cycles) * 4 * 4 / duration_time) / (800 * 1000000 * 4 * 4) i.MX8MM DDR4 board: ((read-cycles + write-cycles) * 4 * 4 / duration_time) / (600 * 1000000 * 4 * 4)
So this should not be Soc specific, it is board specific, I don't know how to implement it from metric.

Thanks for your hint, I will research it to see if it is possible.
