powertop for fremantle

Powertop was not installed on my n900 by default, nor can I find it in the tools repository as described in the extras-testing wiki page. I am running 'apt-get install powertop' as root . How do I install it?

Re: powertop for fremantle

I have built a deb for Maemo 5, and I'll try to get it into Extras-devel. The build queue is very long at the moment so it may be several hours before it is available.

Re: powertop for fremantle

unfortunately there already is a powertop in a closed Nokia repo. I'll ask a Nokia rep to see about getting it added properly.

It's built-in, actually, just not in user's path.

Re: powertop for fremantle

Are you sure it hasn't been removed in the retail version? "find" can't find it, unless the name has been changed.

Re: powertop for fremantle

Hi,

powertop is not on the device and you cannot find it in a repository. There are some issues, but it might be that it will be added later on. I will keep you up-to-date on this.

Cheers Daniel

It's not contained in the USA image. I've pinged a Nokia rep, but I imagine I'll have to create a bug report for it.

Issues? I have the official 1.11 off of lesswatts.org installed on my N900 with the USA firmware. It works fine. I made a deb with the Maemo 5 SDK and SFTP'd it to my device.

Re: powertop for fremantle

It's not present in the community-testing 51-1 image either :-(

that's a bummer. This is a must-have tool for my extras-testing.

Re: powertop for fremantle

I'm not sure this is the same powertop as the lesswats.org one...

Re: powertop for fremantle

Yeah, does the lesswatts.org one break up SOC power states into core, neon, sgx, iva and so on, with off/ret/ina/on percentages?

Anyone willing to repackage the nokia version via dpkg-repack ?

I already did, but I cannot put it in Maemo Extras. We would have to rename it. The build system will not allow another "powertop" named app in the Maemo repos.

Re: powertop for fremantle

I have tested the powertop version from Nokia (/sbin/powertop) and it could be better.
Wouldn't it be possible to create a new .deb for the lesswatts.org version called powertop-lw or something like that?

Link to the deb? :)

Can we get this in the repos or at least a link to the deb - it would be darn helpful.

If anyone is interested, here is the powertop binary extracted from RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.42-11_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin

Hopefully this will save some people from the tedious process of downloading a 140MB file, then extracting it, then using nandsim to mount the ubifs partion, all to get a 22kb file :)

Since powertop is under the GPL, I assume posting this is fine...

Re: powertop for fremantle

Thank you for posting the executable. I am able to copy it to my /usr/bin and run it as it were installed.

When I start the process, I get "status: Unknown job: pmtrackerdaemon". Is that common?

Re: powertop for fremantle

Could some guru explain how to enable hpet and config_no_hz or why that would be a bad idea. I got those as recommended suggestions in PowerTOP.

Re: powertop for fremantle

Uh? The N900 doesn't have HPET (surely) and already uses config_no_hz (didn't check but 99,9% sure).

Re: powertop for fremantle

You're using the lesswatts.org powertop. The one that came with original n900 firmware release is different.
