Hi everyone!
I'm running the last version of ThinkerOS (2.0.8) and I need to overclock the CPU.
How can I do it?
Thanks

Possible with Armbian & mainline kernel. Check instructions in the text:
https://www.armbian.com/tinkerboard/
I know it, thank you.
But for my project I need support for dts overlay (in my case for MCP2515 SPI to CAN) and armbian doesn't have it.
So I have to use ThinkerOS.

Are you 100% sure about that? I am almost sure those features works. Armbian provides 3 kernels - stock, 4.14.y and 4.19.y ... we promote a kernel derived from mainline, 4.14.y at the moment, but soon we are switching to next LTS. Perhaps it doesn't work there out of the box?
If you want to overclock (stock kernel) you will need to fiddle with the sources. Decide what is better on a long run? Trying to get along (you probably only need to enable) on a modern and community supported kernel(s) or staying on an ASUS patched Rockchip kernel ... which is expected to be/is a mess. I conclude that from my experiences (we had many troubles with this stock kernel) and communication with Rockchip kernel maintainers.
Yes I'm sure, overlays in armbian are supported only with allwinner boards.
I don't know if there is a method to use MCP2515.

Of course it is.
Overlay is "just" a simpler way of dealing with a board hardware settings. The usual way is editing DTB blob and enabling or adding this with an editor and compile back. We haven't developed this commodity for other boards than Allwinner simply because we don't have resources.

I think, it's neither easy to find'em
.
DTB files are a kind of black magic which only manufacturers should know about, but sometimes not all features are listed, such as Tinker Board
