Rickyx Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 After installing armbian bookworm the fans are always at maximum. Here is how I solved. Trying to figure out what is not working I try to run the related service systemctl start fancontrol.service but it does not start. So I check the latest errors: systemctl status fancontrol.service I obtain Failed ...fancontrol.service: Failed to locate executable /usr/sbin/fancontrol so, fancontrol is simply not there and apt can't find it for installation. I took the old sd card and copied the fancontrol to /usr/sbin/ Than make it executable with: chmod +x /usr/sbin/fancontrol than systemctl start fancontrol.service systemctl enable fancontrol.service As soon as I started the service, voilà, the fan started to... blowing only when needed: problem solved! Attached you find the fancontrol file. fancontrol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In K6.1 fan should still work, https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/5392 while for 6.6 https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/5939 and 6.10, support was removed as it was too much work and no time: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/patch/kernel/archive/mvebu-6.10/92-mvebu-gpio-remove-hardcoded-timer-assignment.patch.disabled 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickyx Posted August 28 Author Share Posted August 28 For me the problem was only the lack of the fancontrol executable, everything else seems to work (although I can't tell if pwm or not). So I thought I'd share this that might help keep still working hardware from being perceived as non-functional or obsolete: for the moment Armbian (Debian 12 Bookworm, Minimal / IOT) + Omv are working perfectly! Thank you Igor! Riccardo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
