Thermal Shutdown Disable

Hello, I have a question regarding the automatic shutdown of the TK1 device at excessive die temperatures. I understand that it is not a recommended practice but is it possible to configure the Jetson board such that the automatic thermal shutdown is disabled?

Thanks in advance!

Hi kayccc,

Thank you but I have read the Thermal section of the Jetson wiki and yet I did not see anything regarding an answer to my question. It talks about how the device will throttle performance to reduce temperature but I am interested in how to disable all automatic thermal-depended device protection operations.

In other words, I would like the device to not change performance or shutdown due to high temperatures.

Thanks

Hi welshs16,

To disable all automatic thermal-depended device protection operations is not suggested as it may damage the chip itself, and violate the warranty.

Thanks

Hi kayccc,

I appreciate the help. I understand that disabling the chip’s temperature sensor risks damaging it and will violate the warranty. Nonetheless, I am still interested in doing this if it is possible. Therefore, I am still interested to know if someone knows how to do this for the Jetson TK1 board.

Thank you!
