Lower minimum CPU frequency #46

Closed Mudgie0205 closed 1 year ago

Mudgie0205 commented 1 year ago

Would be useful for power saving reasons to be able to set minimum CPU frequency to 500MHz

NGnius commented 1 year ago

This is a hardware limitation. I'm only exposing the range of values accepted by the kernel.

Mudgie0205 commented 1 year ago

There’s no way of altering the Linux kernel manually to change this user-side?

NGnius commented 1 year ago

Not without firmware or kernel modifications, which are outside the scope of PowerTools.

Yeah my edits don’t even apply in the cpupower.txt file under ~/etc/default/ folder. I guess it’s much more involved than that. (Sorry to sound like such a noob pleb. It’s my first delve into Linux for nearly 10 years and was never super versed on it even then)
