Service installs but ats won't start.

[ootoovak]

First of all thanks for writing and sharing this project. 😃Seems like it will be very useful to have. I'm currently having a issue with my install though.

I've tried both the command with luarocks as well as using Git to clone the repo and build with make and make install.

make install fails with:

Install ATS Tool ..................: ats in /usr/local/sbin
Install ATS Service File ..........: ats.service in systemd

 Main PID: 4154 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

make: *** [install] Error 3

And checking with sudo /usr/local/sbin/ats --test returns:

getConditions: Warning, Values { THERMAL0_CTL, THERMAL1_CTL, FAN_CTL }: /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp, /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp, ERROR
exit 1

Am I missing something?

Note: I'm using the RockPro64 with NAS case (including heatsink and fan).

Hello ootoovak, You welcome :)

I see, the last part of the error, is very important:

"getConditions: Warning, Values { THERMAL0_CTL, THERMAL1_CTL, FAN_CTL }: /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp, /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp, ERROR"

It is a pré-check, for detecting PWM capabilities, and sensor reading for temperatures.. Your kernel needs to be updated..

Do the Following as root:

apt-get update
apt-get install linux-firmware-image-4.4.138-1097-rockchip-ayufan-gb5128c0a1684
apt-get install linux-headers-4.4.138-1097-rockchip-ayufan-gb5128c0a1684
apt-get install linux-image-4.4.138-1097-rockchip-ayufan-gb5128c0a1684
reboot

Then try to install with luarocks option 1. It should now work :)

Can you confirm?

Perfect, that seems to have done the trick. It is all working now. Thanks again @tuxd3v!

Ok, nice you succeed! There are 2 profiles, one for 10mm taller fans and another for 20 mm taller fans( less power given that the fan is more powerfull already ).

By default, it comes with the configuration for 10mm taller fan. If you notice that, it is too much aggressive with speed noise, or something, you can change to profile 2.

For that, edit file /usr/local/sbin/ats

in line 67:
"   FANSPEC             = "profile1""
Change "profile1" to "profile2"
save file and:
service ats restart
service ats status

and its done :)

Best Regards,

[ootoovak]

That is very good to know, thank you. I'm using the one for the NAS box casing from the Pine64 store. https://www.pine64.org/?product=fan-for-rockpro64-metal-desktopnas-casing

FYI, I'm getting the same error on kernel version 5.10.63 on a rock64 with Armbian. Followed the 'A' install instructions (but installing liblua5.3-dev rather than lua5.3-dev because I don't think lua5.3-dev exists), and get this when I try to install:

sudo luarocks build https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tuxd3v/ats/master/ats-0.2-0.rockspec

ats 0.2-0 depends on lua >= 5.3 (5.3-1 provided by VM)

sudo /usr/local/sbin/ats --test gets me

No chance you know what's up?

[EDIT: installing from master seems to have fixed it]
