Re: Overclock the N900?
 

can someone explain me how to flash my device with 900 mhz? i already have downloaded the kernel voor 900 mhz, but how to install it??

thnx

for those who have psx4all, do u all have pr1.2 sdk??

go around page 70 theres lots of links etc

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

You mean the hardware around the TI chip... they didn't design the TI chip, they just implemented it.


So this is where I'll probably show you my limitation in knowledge and where I am making some vast assumptions but:

If I am not on charge then doing a "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MIPS" repeatedly, shows the CPU scaling constantly between 250/125 and 600/700/800/900 depending on the kernal image used.

Whilst on charge the value stays locked at 600/700/800/900 depending on the kernal image used.

My assumptions then are that the BogoMIPS are a roughly direct representation of MHz and that what this value represents is in fact the current state of the proc.

Please correct me where I am wrong.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

why will the life time of the processor be halved . as long as its stable @900mhz its not like its running at 100% all day long


if you to run a stock processor all day at 100% that would probably shorten its lifespan too .


i bet most people dont use 100% cpu for more than say 10% uptime a day

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

That's not a reliable way to check what states the processor spends time in. Use either powertop or cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state

It (probably) won't get halved. It will get reduced, but no-one can tell exactly how much.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Anyone have an idea why flasher is saying this to me when i want to flash the kernel:

Suitable USB Device not found, waiting

help:)

im using this command:

flasher-3.5.exe -k zImage-900mhz -f -R

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

I was talking about the N900. And the people who wrote the datasheet did design and implement it.

MIPS is a lie. Also, when you tap the touchscreen or the keyboard the device bumps the cpu frequency to the maximum temporarily. This explains why what you're doing is hardly a test.

Use the above or even watch cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/scaling_cur_freq .

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

I ran Conky on my stock N900, watched it idle at 250MHz, plugged in the cable, and after it jumped up to 600MHz until I dismissed the connection choice menu it settled on 500MHz. After I disconnected the cable it dropped right back down to 250MHz.

This seems like it could be troublesome with OC, since I usually tend to charge my phone overnight, probably for longer than it needs.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

I just used fiasco-flasher from device, again, this time flashing from 900 to 800 mhz. Version info still intact.
