Came across a suggestion for fan control in the FreeBSD wiki (https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm/RockChip). It suggests using the "pwm" command to control the fan:
"Fan Control on RockPro64
To enable the fan you should use the "pwm" command.
This is known to work but is a bit loud: pwm -E -f pwmc1.0 -d 50%
This is quieter: pwm -E -f pwmc1.0 -p 50000 -d 25000"
I haven't tried it yet because I just got my new board and NAS case. The wiki doesn't say where the fan is plugged in on the board, but I would assume they mean the 2 pin fan header. Wanted to share that before I forget about reading it.

Quartz64, RockPro64, PinePhone Mobian, PineBook Pro, PineTime, and all the trimmings that make FOSS fun.
