Hi
Thanks for tip - I was already trying tegrastats, but I don’t see how does this tell you if the chip applied any throttling or not.
ie. I got this for case when there was for sure throttling happening (I got lower current on supply line to ECU than in other cases) :
xavier@fast-prototype:~$ tegrastats
RAM 7413/15683MB (lfb 1527x4MB) CPU [100%@1113,100%@1113,100%@1113,100%@1113,84%@1113,90%@1113,88%@1113,81%@1113] EMC_FREQ 0% GR3D_FREQ 99% AO@85.5C GPU@89C Tboard@82C Tdiode@85.75C AUX@83.5C CPU@89.5C thermal@86.95C PMIC@100C GPU 7078/7078 CPU 2996/2996 SOC 10164/10164 CV 0/0 VDDRQ 2085/2085 SYS5V 3686/3686
but I see no significant difference to the case when there was no throttling:
xavier@fast-prototype:~$ tegrastats
RAM 7413/15683MB (lfb 1511x4MB) CPU [100%@1190,100%@1190,100%@1190,100%@1190,88%@1190,80%@1190,79%@1190,88%@1190] EMC_FREQ 0% GR3D_FREQ 99% AO@38.5C GPU@42.5C Tboard@39C Tdiode@41.5C AUX@40C CPU@43.5C thermal@41.8C PMIC@100C GPU 8162/8162 CPU 2843/2843 SOC 9073/9073 CV 0/0 VDDRQ 2106/2106 SYS5V 3524/3524
Just reading temperatures to my opinion does not tell much. As I’m running tests in climate chamber at different temperatures, I actually want to find highest temperature when the system can work 100% without throttling.
… Or am I missing something?
I need something that can tell me that throttling has occurred and if possible also what level of throttling.
I’ve noticed that sometimes you get some kernel messages like:
[ 118.400691] FAN rising trip_level:3 cur_temp:72400 trip_temps[4]:81000
[ 339.040743] FAN rising trip_level:4 cur_temp:81100 trip_temps[5]:140000
that look like some kind of throttling information, unfortunately I haven’t found anywhere any explanation what these messages means.
Many thanks
Daniel
