Hi,
I installed Armbian Bookworm Minimal CLI on my Rock 5b and followed the instructions on this post to get the fan to work properly. Specifically,
git clone https://github.com/lukaszsobala/fan-control-rock5b
cd fan-control-rock5b
make package
sudo dpkg -i fan-control*.deb
sudo systemctl enable fan-control
systemctl start fan-control
However, the software won't start. When trying to run it manually, I get,
$ sudo /usr/sbin/fan-control

Looking at the source, I think it is trying to access the file
/sys/devices/platform/fd8b0010.pwm/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm0/export
(among others.) That directory exists only so far as
/sys/devices/platform/fd8b0010.pwm/pwm/pwmchip0
and doesn't contain pwm0, let alone pwm0/export.
Listing that directory, I have
$ ls -al
total 0

I believe this Armbian image doesn't include any firmware, right? So, could I be missing required firmware? Or, could the needed file be elsewhere?
Thanks for any help,
Richard
