Hi

Thanks for this script, i have run it and i think it change the settings well it said:

Successfully repaired broken overvolting/overclocking settings. Reboot necessary for changes to take effect.

Copy code

but i cant get the idle temperature down from 65, i let it idle for some time and this is a screenshot

and then i run

sudo ./cpufreq-ljt-stress-test

Copy code

and this is the screenshot and the output, it seems ok, why it cant get lower than 65 deg?. Is there anything else it needs to be done? Thanks

The cjpeg and djpeg tools from libjpeg-turbo are not found.
Trying to download and compile them.
CPU stress test, which is doing JPEG decoding by libjpeg-turbo
at different cpufreq operating points.

I'm trying to run this on Laboris Ubuntu mini (headless). I'm getting "Could not convert script.bin to fex. Exiting". Is this a permissions issue?

script.bin resides in /media/boot

Any ideas?

Thank you.

I siposse that you run this scripts with sudo, right??, may be you could post your scrpt.bin or tell me where to download it but i supose should work with everyone. You can test it manually with this command

bin2fex /boot/script.bin

Copy code

And see what you get.

I have the same problem with Loboris' image and script.bin
Here's my script.bin https://www.dropbox.com/s/e6s2rcolukqwlwx/script.tar.gz?dl=0

Do you have sunxi-tools installed, ie. fex2bin and bin2fex?

That was the problem. Installed sunxi tools - everything's fine now. Thanks!

I'm at the end of my rope between this issue and getting a wifi dongle to work. With this issue, and thanks to WereCatf, I learned that I don't have sunxi tools installed. Then I learned I didn't have libusb installed, then I learned I didn't gave g++ installed, now I have a make error while trying to make sunxi tools that I can't figure out. This is unbelievable.

There's no sunxi-tools in repos? At least on Ubuntu 15.10 there is, but I ain't familiar with Debian Jessie. If not, then what errors, exactly, are you running into? It shouldn't be that hard to get sunxi-tools compiled and installed and you're probably just missing some header-files, so you should tell us the errors and we can most likely help you get it fixed.

I used Loboris' Ubuntu trusty image and there's no sunxi-tools in it's repo. So apt-get install in script doesn't work and there's no any error for it.
I took sunxi-tools from Sunxi Wiki or something and they worked ok. Script worked successfully and board became cooler but it's still quite warm. It's not big problem due to I use opi in headless mode.
