This patch set is just for booting the small system, if you want to test the temperature, I think you should using the HiKey released version (https://www.96boards.org/). This patch is just for the small system, and not include those drivers for adjusting the CPU frequency, thermal control and so on. After this patch is merged, all those drivers will be submitted later. > > So my question is, does this SoC have an automatic thermal cut out?

Hikey is a low cost board, I think it doesn't have an automatic thermal cut out; I always use HiKey to test my patch, in the normal case, temperature is not a problem. Thanks, Bintian > > Will > > . >
