Tool to Control Fan - fanctl

[tuxd3v]

I may found the bug, the Problem is following:

If you select "Always on" the fan runs continuously between min and max continuous temp , as expected . (It's not so annoying as the start stop cycles if  this option is set to false)

But if you drop under the min_thermal temp ats will try to run the fan for no time and also waits for no time.
So ats will refresh the temp readings and the pmw settings as fast as it can causing the load spikes I see.

Hello TheSupercomputer,
It was not necessarily a problem, depending were you live 
The idea behind it was to heat up the CPU until a "comfortable temperature"..

Depending on the region of the globe you live in..
Since the CPU should not be operated bellow -20C.. and spikes of around 20-30C up in that region in less than a second is not very good( imagine launching 6 threads at full throttle there.. )..
So it was a 'warming up' feature( But above 10C I think it makes less sense to have it.. )

I changed it for temps >= 10C


 Please install from the master branch, and give some feed-back

Did I offer enough info? I also brought this issue to Pine support, but they send me to the forum. I really hope someone can help me out.

Hello kromsam,
Sorry for that, I din't saw it 
You need at least, kernel   4.4.132-1083,

Do this:

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-image-4.4.138-1097-rockchip-ayufan-gb5128c0a1684
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-4.4.138-1097-rockchip-ayufan-gb5128c0a1684
sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-image-4.4.138-1097-rockchip-ayufan-gb5128c0a1684
sudo reboot

After that you should be fine
