Subject: PWM fan control not working with Rock5B and upstream kernel
Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2025 13:40:45 +0930 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e9ddcc05-e6db-49b0-aad6-c7873c38c427@suse.com> (raw)
Hi,
My Rock5B board is running edk-rk3588 firmware and (almost) upstream
kernel (6.14.6 kernel from ArchlinuxARM), using upstream dtbs (the
firmware is also switched to device-tree boot mode)
Before that I'm using ACPI mode thus no PMW support, but the firmware's
fan control is working properly although running at a fixed rpm setting.
But after switching to the upstream kernel and device-tree mode, the pwm
fan control never works.
`sensors` command detects the fan, and the pwm seems to properly
following the temperature, but the physical fan just do not spin at all:
center_thermal-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +80.4°C
bigcore2_thermal-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +84.1°C
package_thermal-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +81.3°C
pwmfan-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
pwm1: 128% MANUAL CONTROL <<<
gpu_thermal-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +79.5°C
littlecore_thermal-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +82.2°C
bigcore0_thermal-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +83.2°C
I'm wondering is this a bug in the upstream PWM code or something else
is missing preventing the fan from working properly.
Thanks,
Qu
