0.7.10 pre-release

[dukla2000]

on 4.4.154-1122 I got no hdmi-sound, mpv with mpp is no longer working.

Yeah - sound is an issue as per my posts 5 & 9 above.

Also the cpu-fan is barely moving when I fiddle with  pwm-fan/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1

The release sheet has
0.7.10: Improve FAN for RockPro64,
Not sure what that entails, but a change in behaviour can be expected. Have you tried tux's fanctl? I would reckon start with that?

[hunderteins]

thank you, yes sound and mpp was already mentioned. Sorry.

My fan is louder (vibrations) when running quarder or half the speed than at fullspeed. So tux's fanctl is not for me, but I like his work, max temp 58°C was just what I asked myself.

Hello hunderteins, 

Does you have same symptoms with 1097 kernel version?
rockpro64 4.4.138-1097-rockchip-ayufan-gb5128c0a1684

I have nice temps, with this kernel version , I haven  upgraded yet.

its not so high, even though is full throttle
but it also depends in the environment around, here now its more coold :S

Hello hunderteins,
It could be related with so other problems,
test the kernel I put above, it works ok, for me..

What is the Fan you are using?
current consumption, CFM values,dimentions( WxLxH)

You can always edit fanctl parameters, with:

Code:

vi /usr/sbin/fanctl

I decided to use Lua, (which can be compiled, but doesn't need to, and its fast with lower footprint ), precisely because it can be easily tuned.

You can tune it, to your Active cooling setup 
You can lower the values, if you own a fan with bigger CFM specs, and probably with bigger size.

Between 39C and 60C, it has a function, that can be adapted to your needs.
Also it could be that your fan needs more power to start, it can be tuned too.

Some days ago, I brought a new fan, and I thought that it could be better solution, but I ended up, with inicial setup, because of vibration...
Temps were really good, it could drop them for less than 45C, at full throttle, on all cores!
But then, I was feeling like I was flying a jet air plain and vibrations were high..

The big thing here is that the silicone pads that come with heatsink, are really good for mechanical stability, they in fact improve a lot the situation..
If not,  at long term... the CPU could endup with its balls grid array stalled, and oxidation behind them..creating bad contacts, and in a BGA case, this cannot be solved without proper soldering solution..
So its all depends ...

But happens that this conversation gave me the ideia of creating 2 profiles..
One for 20mm tall fan, and one for 10mm tall. 
With a one point, set location,
so that it could easily change profiles and response curves..
will be in my next todo list..

Hello,
I think, I got hdmi-sound working again on 4.4.154 for the rockpro64.
Can someone apply the attached patch and confirm my finding?
TIA,
hunderteins

[dukla2000]

Methinks this involves compiling 4.4.154 kernel, and beforehand applying a patch? If there are no other takers I will pull 4.4 for a compile, you will need to tell me how to apply the patch!

(As the idiot I am I looked at the 4.19 clk-rk3399.c - found nothing at all like your patch. Then realized there is no HDMI sound at 4.19! I am set-up to compile 4.18 or 4.19 but they are far more challenging to get HDMI sound as for a start they are not generating the soundcards.)

[duckkcud]

Anyone else have issues with bionic-minimal-rockpro64-0.7.10-1072-arm64 stopping working after a day or two of uptime?

It's happened on previous builds as well. Throws an error (can't recall, I rebooted) and when I restart no SSH.

Don't have time to pinpoint at the moment, just asking to see if anyone else has encountered an issue like this.

[Bullet64]

@duckkcud No, very stable here. What's your setup?

[dukla2000]

@hunderteins -  Had to install python to get off the starting line which is odd, as it is not needed for 4.18/4.19.

Anyway, I get a compile error fairly quickly so complete log pasted below. I am building on my RockPro itself if that makes any difference. But this kind of error is way beyond my skills - I never wrote a line of c in my life! Also couldn't PM you as you have PM disabled.

Actually one thing I have noticed since upgrading to Cosmic is the compiler seems a little bit more chatty. I guess it is a newer version of gcc, and it is checking more. And while 4.18 and 4.19 compiles just have warnings (in colour!) 4.4 has outright fails.
