00:51 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> Guys, zero 2 (A311D) is clocked at 1.5 ghz ootb on mainline armbian. If I try to set the clocks to the proper speeds, it does go up to 2.2 ghz, but there is some cpu fre config file that makes it fallback to 1.5 ghz. I did resolve the issue a month ago but I completely forgot which file was the problematic one that sets the freqs on boot and on guy asked my help on that. Does any <clipped message>

00:51 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> one know about such config file I don't remember right now?

00:52 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> uch problem. Does anyone know about such config file I don't remember right now?

00:59 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> A similar problem may appear in some other sbcs, so, it would be handy to know where to look.

01:10 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> y asked my help on such problem. Does anyone know about such config file I don't remember right now?

01:25 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tomurlings> do you have a governer configured?

01:26 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tomurlings> do you have a governor configured?

01:31 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> It's not the governor, it's that the max freq is set at 1.5 ghz, way below the desired max freq for this SoC. I can set it to whatever governor and enable the higher clocks, it just fallbacks at boot.

01:31 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> There must be some armbian cpu freq config file that sets that on boot

01:32 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> That overrides what I've set

01:32 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tomurlings> so guess you're not talking about /etc/default/cpufrequtils then

01:32 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> Ohh, good

01:32 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> Now we are talking hahaha

01:32 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> Thanks!

01:36 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tomurlings> pretty sure that /etc/default/cpufrequtils is read by a service installed by cpufrequtils. not sure if anything else uses that config if you do not have cpufrequtils installed... i'll have a look-see here too..

01:36 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tomurlings> latest image i built here has the config, but not the tools associated with cpufrequtils?

01:38 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> Most probably is that one. I just lost the bash history on mine.

01:38 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tomurlings> check armbian-hardware-optimization script, it seems to read the cpufrequtils config file and apply the settings directiy to the /sysfs entries for scaling

01:38 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> He will probably resolve it just editing that file.

01:39 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> Quite weird that the clocks are sets so low for no reasons.

01:39 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tomurlings> /lib/armbian/armbian-hardware-optimization line 72 and on

01:41 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tomurlings> for my sbcs, i use them for background/infra stuff, so i like to keep them slumbering as much as possible. so i would prefer lowest freq and either ondemand or conservative governance 🙂

01:42 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tomurlings> would depend on your use, kees

01:43 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> We need the cpu scaling utility back on the bew armbian-config

01:43 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> We need the cpu scaling utility back on the new armbian-config

01:45 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> The new one should pick cpufrequtils or linux-cpupower depending the distro since cpufrequtils was deprecated in some distro..

01:45 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> Debian I believe

01:46 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> It was really handy back then

01:52 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tomurlings> just had to read up on cpupower, looks like it does the same as cpufrequtils and adds options for intel pstates as well?
