Maximum allowed frequency is 1.51GHz on 2.0.8 TinkerOS

[mark-aus-51]

Hi,

I've uploaded dtb.

Code:

# Fix Cpu Freq : /boot/rk3288-miniarm.dtb

curl -sSL https://github.com/mt08xx/files/raw/master/TinkerOS-v2.0.8_CPUFreqFix_rk3288-miniarm.dtb.bz2 | bzip2 -dc | tee rk3288-miniarm.dtb | md5sum
# => ce70fbd5cf42cc3e4d9728612837887e  - (Correct file ?)

# backup and copy to /boot
sudo mv /boot/rk3288-miniarm.dtb{,.bak}
sudo cp ./rk3288-miniarm.dtb /boot

@mt08

Thanks a lot  This is what I have searched for.

...works perfect with TinkerOS 2.0.8. @1,8Ghz, now!!!

Cheers
Mark

Did not work for me i tried mt08 code

so to test ,in one terminal i run (which will show current freq)

watch -n 1 cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq


and in another terminal , i stress the cpu (you will need to install sysbench)

sysbench --test=cpu --num-threads=4 --cpu-max-prime=1000 run

max freq i see is1.6

... I tested it on a 2nd Tinker Board with TinkerOS 2.0.8. The result is the same: The patch posted by mt08 works again.

Code:

linaro@tinkerboard:~$ cpufreq-info | grep "momentane Taktfrequenz ist" | awk '{print $4}'
1.80
1.80
1.80
1.80

is yours a tinker board s, im running the original tinkerboard, tried installing again and still getting 1.6

[mark-aus-51]

Hello Z80,

I don't have a thinker bord s. I've two "original" tinker boards in use...both with TinkerOS 2.0.8. The patch of works with both of them.

Maybe it works for me, because I've installed the device-tree-compiler before. Here ard my steps:

$ sudo apt-mark hold chromium
$ sudo apt-update
$ sudo apt install -y device-tree-compiler
$ cd /boot
$ sudo cp rk3288-miniarm.dtb rk3288-miniarm.dtb.bak
$ sudo dtc -I dtb -O dts rk3288-miniarm.dtb -o rk3288-miniarm.dts
$ cd
$ curl -sSL https://github.com/mt08xx/files/raw/mast...rm.dtb.bz2 | bzip2 -dc | tee rk3288-miniarm.dtb | md5sum
$ sudo mv /boot/rk3288-miniarm.dtb{,.bak}
$ sudo cp ./rk3288-miniarm.dtb /boot
$ sudo reboot

Cheers

i tried still only get 1.6   i.e.  using      lscpu

plus i get this error on the curl command

i may have done an apt-get upgrade at some point, maybe my maxcpufreq is set at 1.6

maybe i need to try from a fresh 2.0.8 install

if i run cat /proc/version

i get which i think is 2.0.8 since date is 23-oct-2018

Linux version 4.4.132+ (jenkins@fdc-06) (gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu/Linaro 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.9) ) #1 SMP Tue Oct 23 18:03:49 CST 2018
linaro@tinkerboard:~$

[mark-aus-51]

...in this case a clean install of TinkerOS 2.0.8 could be the best option.

Just tried mt08 codes with a fresh 2.0.8 image, still only getting 1.6 (it was 1.5 before i tried mt08 code)
I am on the version 1 tinkerboard (i.e. has V1 stamped on pcb, think there is a v2 version)
I have 5 volt direct to gpio with a fan. can someone who says its working try doing lscpu on their machine and show the results?

I had strange problems and curious behaviors with several power supplies at the beginning; via gpio and via micro-usb. Finally, I had success with a 3A micro-USB power supply, which delivers exactly 5.22V according to my multimeter. With this power supply the Tinker Board has been working without any problems for month now.

Hi Z80,

Can you make sure md5sum of /boot/rk3288-miniarm.dtb ?
My cmd replaces only this file.

Code:

linaro@tinkerboard:~$ md5sum /boot/rk3288-miniarm.dtb
