sorry to be a pain in the but

tryed looking through thread for how to change to clock speed from 800mhz to 1ghz on the ultra low voltage kernel

ive read that i have to change the scaling_max_freq setting in /etc/pmconfig (e.g., using vi)

but how to do it :-)

can someone pm me please :-)u

thanks in advance and again sorry to be a pain in the butt

morning to everyone

ps
id like to permanenlt change it not just change it so that it resets after a call :-) thanks again
Go to Google and type vi tutorial. Read one. You'll be glad you did.

When I do an apt-get upgrade, it looks to upgrade kernel-maemo and kernel-flasher-maemo. I assume this is the normal voltage kernel from extras-testing, and allowing this to go ahead will lose the ulv benefits?
yes, don't upgrade it.
you can use
Code:
echo kernel-flasher-maemo hold | dpkg --set-selections
echo kernel-maemo hold | dpkg --set-selections
to hold the version. to unlock it use
Code:
echo kernel-flasher-maemo install | dpkg --set-selections
echo kernel-maemo install | dpkg --set-selections

that's not possible. there's a fundamental difference between Lehto's and my kernels:
mine need their own modules package and they don't hardcode the frequencies.

For me, Lehto's ulv versions were stable but the idle period battery drain of the ulv kernels (specifically the 1000, which was running at the default 800mhz ) was woeful.

I've returned to Lehto's 800mhz kernel this morning.

It's much much easier on the battery for me!

i.e. they preserve your freq. limits over phone calls and don't lock to 600Mhz during phone calls.
The default limits are 250-600 MHz.
A new feature in all maemo20 kernels is the bq27x00_battery module by Matan
which gives you more info about the battery in /sys/class/power_supply/bq27200-0/

The ultralow voltage (ulv) kernel is inspired by Letho's settings.
The less extreme low voltage (lv) kernel is inspired by Matan's settings.

Download ULV:
Code:
wget http://maemory.com/N900/overclock/ulv/kernel-maemo_2.6.28-maemo20_armel.deb
wget http://maemory.com/N900/overclock/ulv/kernel-modules-maemo_2.6.28-maemo20_armel.deb
wget http://maemory.com/N900/overclock/ulv/kernel-flasher-maemo_2.6.28-maemo20_armel.deb
Download LV:
Code:
wget http://maemory.com/N900/overclock/lv/kernel-maemo_2.6.28-maemo20_armel.deb
wget http://maemory.com/N900/overclock/lv/kernel-modules-maemo_2.6.28-maemo20_armel.deb
wget http://maemory.com/N900/overclock/lv/kernel-flasher-maemo_2.6.28-maemo20_armel.deb
Installation
Code:
dpkg -i kernel-m*
dpkg -i kernel-f*
halt
To enable 125Mhz use 124999 for scaling_min_freq.
According to BlackDiamond you should
"echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/ignore_nice_load"
for 125MHz http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=185

Also try the hint by nightfire http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=170 for improved responsiveness.

The warning "WARNING: at /home/builder1/maemo-fremantle-armel-extras-devel/work/kernel-maemo-2.6.28/arch/arm/mach-omap2/clock34xx.c:443" some people see in dmesg indicates that we don't really know what we're doing
The same applies to the DSP settings - it is not clear whether Letho's and my kernel actually set them to >430MHz. Someone familiar with frequency selection should have a look at the code...

so far the ULV kernel works fine for me with [125,600] Mhz till 850 MHz. 900 crashed it. EDIT: I just increased the 900 voltage in an update
EDIT2: another update replaced 800 by 810MHz in ULV and LV kernels
downloaded the ulv and installed it
have only 600MHz...
do I need to edit somewhere something??

soz to post this again.

using lethos 250-800 (1000) ULV
what is voltage @ 1000? am i right in thinking its runs at the voltage of the standard 600?
i cant seem to find the info?!

as mentioned several times, replace the values (as root) for temporary change
Code:
echo 124999 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
echo 599000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
or edit /etc/pmconfig for permanent changes

for me the Letho's ulv didnt work, constant reboot when starting up the N900. (then it is very busy for a while and it just never got fully started)

i flashed to to the 125-850/450 now, lets see how that one works, until now stable.

AFAIK Letho's @ 1GHz is OPP5 = same as 600MHz on stock

my ULV kernel voltages compared to stock:
my <=250 is <0 stock (ultra low voltage)
my 500 is ca. 0 stock (lower voltage)
my 550/600 is 250 stock (low voltage)
my 700/750/800 is <500 stock (low voltage)
my 850 is 500 stock (normal voltage)
my 900/950 is 550 stock (overvoltage)
my >=1000 is 600 stock (overvoltage)

does the ULV kernel work stable with 850/900/950/1000 for you?
