[Tinkerboard max CPU freq limited to 1.61GHz]

I've just upgraded and cpufreq-info now reports:

Thanks @TonyMac32 !

If its not here https://docs.armbian.com/Release_Changelog/ then it was not specifically fixed.

I don't see any changes for 19.11.8 there.

 

[Tinkerboard max CPU freq limited to 1.61GHz]

I recently received some updates via apt; armbian-firmware, linux-u-boot-tinkerboard-current, etc. all upgraded from 19.11.3.346 to 19.11.8.

 

I don't see any change in CPU frequency.

 

If the issue was fixed, would it be fixed for me by an apt update, or would I need to start from a new Armbian image?

Thanks for yours answers.

May I add that I believe this is being corrected upstream for the Tinker Board, I saw it mentioned on the mailing list.

Is that Linux or Asus upstream?

Hi!

 

I seem to have the same problem described here:

I have an Asus Tinkerboard, not the S version.

Today I upgraded from the latest Asus TinkerOS image:

20190821-tinker-board-linaro-stretch-alip-v2.0.11.img

to:

Armbian_19.11.3.346_Tinkerboard_buster_current_5.3.15_minimal.img

 

I notice that my maximum CPU frequency has dropped from 1.80GHz to 1.61GHz.

 

cpufreq-info now reports:

...

 

and my cpufrequtils config is unmodified:

 

$ cat /etc/default/cpufrequtils
ENABLE=true
MIN_SPEED=600000
MAX_SPEED=1900000
GOVERNOR=ondemand

 

Whereas on TinkerOS, cpufreq-info reported:

 

$ cpufreq-info

Is this something I can change locally, or does something need to change in the Armbian image?
