I installed Armbian Stretch and started playing around.
I noticed that it got up to 71c which was to much so i shut it down and went on the net to buy some 5v fans to cool it.
A month ago I received the first fans and noticed now that Armbian Buster had arrived. Since I hadn't gotten far with the config of Armbian Stretch I started on a new image.
But to my disappointment the ARM processor is now clocked to 1008Mhz and not the 1.2Ghz the device is set to by manufacturer. I can guess that it is because of the heat problem that it is now set to 1008Mhz.
The problem is through armbian-config there is no longer any an 1.2Ghz option only 1008Mhz .
And setting
nano /etc/default/cpufrequtils
service cpufrequtils restart
Doesn't change the actual speed from 1Ghz to 1.2Ghz
Some info
My kernel is
uname -a
Linux orangepizeroplus 4.19.63-sunxi64 #5.92 SMP Fri Aug 2 00:18:27 CEST 2019 aarch64 GNU/Linux
My /etc/default/cpufrequtils looks like
# WARNING: this file will be replaced on board support package (linux-root-...) upgrade
ENABLE=true
MIN_SPEED=480000
MAX_SPEED=1010000
GOVERNOR=ondemand
I suppose it's the kernel which decides what is allowed. And I do get that it will keep the heat down and that setting it to 1008Mhz as default is a good idea.
But I was hoping to get the option back to choose 1.2Ghz even if it should default to 1008Mhz now where I have bought both 5v fans and NPN transistors to make a little ARM fan for my OPZ+.
