PWM fan speed control for rock5B; ROCK5B风扇速度控制软件。

Fan-control

A tool to control fan speed by temperature automatically for ROCK5B.

Features

1. Control fan speed by temperature. (above 45 degrees)
2. set fan speed manually

Build & install

make package
dpkg -i fan-control*.deb

Usage

systemctl enable fan-control
systemctl start fan-control

Configuration

configuration file locations is /etc/fan-control.json, Configuration parameter description:

Configuration	Description
pwmchip	pwmchip id, 1 for auto scan
gpio	gpio id, 0 is default gpio
pwm-period	PWM period
temp-map	temperature configuration table
temp	temperature, in degrees Celsius
duty	duty ratio
duration	duration, in second

fan-control-rock5b's Issues

建议增加自动搜索pwm设备

将pwm-fan加入设备树后,pwm export将会找不到
控制风扇会直接使用接口/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/pwm1,不需要再初始化任何pwm了

stayed on max even though temp dropped to 31'c

Not sure what happened but for some reason stayed on max even though temp dropped to 31'c

Didn't do any checks but had a rough script running.

#!/bin/bash
stress-ng -c 8 --vm 8 --vm-bytes 512M&
echo start > temp.txt
while true
do
	echo $(cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/temp)
	echo $(cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/temp) >> temp.txt
	echo $(date +"%T")
	echo $(date +"%T") >> temp.txt
	sleep 20
done

When I hot ctrl+c to escape the script the fan was already fast at 50c but heard up go up another notch and there it stuck even though temps where back down to 31c

PS the cpu freq buffs to get 2400000Mhz have turned this exceptionally cool SoC into a bit of a hot one.

Submission to Snapcraft

Thank you, @pymumu, for this great little programme. It works well.
Please consider submitting it to an app store like Snapcraft so we can auto-update whenever there is a new version.

rock5b风扇停止不了

大佬，我的系统为Ubuntu22.04， 开机后风扇自动开启，使用您这个工程也停止不了它的运行

Systemd: Failed to start fan control for rock5b

I used Armbian and added your fan-control software

At first boot, it works well, but after that when I check the log, I found that it cannot run correctly.

I have no idea about hot to check about that, but any idea about that ?

fan control with rock 5a

hello,

I tried your program on my rock 5a and it doesn't work
is there anything to activate it?

regards

Fan-control won't start on Rock 5b

Hello,

I'm running Armbian and this software won't start. I'm getting these errors:

$ sudo /usr/sbin/fan-control

Looking at the source, I think it is trying to access the file /sys/devices/platform/fd8b0010.pwm/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm0/export (among others.) That directory exists only so far as /sys/devices/platform/fd8b0010.pwm/pwm/pwmchip0 and doesn't contain pwm0.

Listing that directory:

$ ls -al

drwxr-xr-x 3 root root    0 Jul 10 15:21 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root    0 Jul 10 15:21 ..

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jul 10 15:21 uevent
--w------- 1 root root 4096 Jul 10 15:21 unexport

I'm using Armbian Bookworm, Minimal CLI which includes no firmware installed automatically. So, could I be missing required firmware? Or, could the needed file be elsewhere?

Thanks,
Richard
