jmandawg Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 Hi, on the renegade page: https://www.armbian.com/renegade/ It says we can run this cpu at 1.51Ghz, but when i follow the instructions nothing happens, is there a step i'm missing?: root@renegade:/mnt/config# sed -i "s/MAX_SPEED=.*/MAX_SPEED=1510000/" /etc/default/cpufrequtils root@renegade:/mnt/config# service cpufrequtils restart root@renegade:/mnt/config# cpufreq-set -g performance root@renegade:/mnt/config# armbianmonitor -m Stop monitoring using [ctrl]-[c] Time CPU load %cpu %sys %usr %nice %io %irq CPU C.St. 12:41:39: 1392MHz 1.37 17% 4% 7% 0% 3% 1% 65.4°C 0/6^C Is there an updated dtb file or overlay somewhere?
jmandawg Posted September 15, 2018 Author Posted September 15, 2018 Looks like the latest download on that page is bionic, i'm on stretch any easy way to update or better to just do a clean install.
tkaiser Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 The higher available cpufreq OPP are distro independent. It's just the linux-dtb-* package that contains now also the 1.5GHz OPP (no idea whether this is already available via official apt.armbian.com or you need to switch to beta repository)
jmandawg Posted September 16, 2018 Author Posted September 16, 2018 I guess it's not there yet, my dtb points to 4.4.155: root@renegade:/boot# ls -al dtb lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Sep 15 16:24 dtb -> dtb-4.4.155-rockchip64/ root@renegade:/boot# lscpu Architecture: aarch64 Byte Order: Little Endian CPU(s): 4 On-line CPU(s) list: 0-3 Thread(s) per core: 1 Core(s) per socket: 4 Socket(s): 1 Model: 4 CPU max MHz: 1392.0000 CPU min MHz: 408.0000 BogoMIPS: 48.00 Flags: fp asimd evtstrm aes pmull sha1 sha2 crc32

We only added the 1.4 GHz OPP back then: https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/a79d5932cf21c1c7221bfa6cd036a3f47e506318 And even more confusion since Igor added 1.5 GHz later: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/patch/kernel/rockchip64-default/enable-1512mhz-opp.patch Does it work now after updating to 5.60?

Since this feature is not really essential, I will not investigate at this moment why it is not there. We provide nightly builds and build tools. Use that first.

It was broken for a while, but now it is working in the latest stable image available for download. Probably an "apt upgrade" will also fix it, not sure about it.

pokkecon Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 I use this board as my primary personal desktop (!) so as you can imagine I really wanted to get it up to 1.51Ghz If anyone has info on getting accelerated video/graphics with the Mali chipset on the Renegade board that would be awesome... haven't got it working yet myself. Anyways there is a typo in the instructions to enable 1.51Ghz, it took me a while to figure it out. In addition to being up to date as described in the thread above, you need to use a MAX_SPEED value of 1512000 not 1510000 before it will kick into the highest speed. I will leave it to others to figure out why the heck that is (no doubt it's obvious to someone), ie: sed -i "s/MAX_SPEED=.*/MAX_SPEED=1512000/" /etc/default/cpufrequtils service cpufrequtils restart

BTW, since you are using the Renegade as desktop, I would very much appreciate your feedback about the desktop experience with the accelerated X server. I mean on regular tasks (reading mail, browsing, reading PDF, Libreoffice, etc).
pokkecon Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 I just tried the script but I didn't see any significant difference afterwards. It is probably because I did not run it on a clean install as you instructed, rather on the install I have been tweaking quite a bit. I will try it again on a clean install but I am going to wait until I get a better power supply though (waiting for Amazon to deliver). Switching to a shorter microUSB cable made a huge difference in fixing some of the video distortion and USB peripheral issues I was having, but I still need a better power supply as some of those issues continue to persist. An eMMC would be nice too =D one step at a time, it is my primary desktop but it needs more tweaking, looking forward to seeing that 4K60 in action tho!
pokkecon Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 This is my third post (I wrote a few things in the script thread as ell) but yes, reading mail, reading PDFs, LibreOffice all work more or less flawlessly for me, about as well as you could expect on a computer the size of a bar of soap. As mentioned in the other thread, Chromium does lock up but I think an eMMC might fix that problem.
