Thanks for providing link to Fork

Ok so I need to build a custom build of openWRT, except what is writen on GH to uncomment device do I need to do something?
In previous comments I see someone posted some code, was it commited to that fork or it is a separete thing?

Thanks

i don’t know why but fan_control doesn’t work as service if i run manually it will control fan otherwise fan runs all time

instead of trying to fix it i always want to set gpio-fan with providing three different speed controls

little help with AI :smiley: i managed to control fan but i am not sure how hysteresis thing works

&cluster_thermal {
	trips {
		cluster_fan_low: cluster-fan-low {
			temperature = <65000>;
			hysteresis = <10000>;
			type = "active";
		};

		cluster_fan_mid: cluster-fan-mid {
			temperature = <70000>;
			hysteresis = <5000>;
			type = "active";
		};

		cluster_fan_high: cluster-fan-high {
			temperature = <75000>;
			hysteresis = <5000>;
			type = "active";
		};

		cluster_hot: cluster-hot {
			temperature = <80000>;
			hysteresis = <2000>;
			type = "hot";
		};

		cluster_crit: cluster-crit {
			temperature = <92000>;
			hysteresis = <2000>;
			type = "critical";
		};
	};

	cooling-maps {
		map_low {
			trip = <&cluster_fan_low>;
			cooling-device = <&gpio_fan 1 1>;
		};

		map_mid {
			trip = <&cluster_fan_mid>;
			cooling-device = <&gpio_fan 2 2>;
		};

		map_high {
			trip = <&cluster_fan_high>;
			cooling-device = <&gpio_fan 3 3>;
		};
	};
};
Qualcommax NSS Build
1090

hello,

I mange to install NSS version in order to get max speed on 10gb ports.
I was able to get 7-8gbps speed for first run, however after that the sfp port got so hot that speeds dropped to 2-3gb.

internal thermal sensors shows around 66-68*c and it is staying like that.
How can I control fans speeds?
Is there any build in solution in openwrt or I need to install some package?

hi,

i don’t think stock fan will hold 10gbit speed still but you can test with disabling automatic fan control and set fan to full speed

but my best guess you need active cooling system needs to place under the device

create a file with fan.sh put below lines init than run “sh fan.sh” ( setting will remain active until reboot )

for file in /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/mode; do
  echo disabled > "$file";
done
echo 2100 > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon13/fan1_target

If stock fan hold the 10gb line as well, you need more aggressive fan control or full speed all time

does anyone know how to restore asus firmwere? I tried their recovery tool, did not work.

https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/installation/recovery_methods/asus_firmware_restoration_tool this does not show rt-ax89x...

tried putting firmwere on luci, failed.

did, also failed

  1. Setup interface on Host PC with ip 192.168.50.75/24 (not the Router will ONLY accept tftp put over this IP) ; $ip a a 192.168.50.75/24 dev

  2. The HostNIC and recovery is performed ONLY over the 1G WAN port NIC (this is the 'blue') NIC port next to the 10G Copper port.

  3. Find valid recovery .trx

  4. Run tftp to 192.168.50.1 ; $tftp 192.168.50.1

  5. Unplug DC barrel jack whilst holding down the reset switch with a pointy thing

  6. Leave Power Button Depressed(on)

  7. Replug DC barrel jack whilst still holding reset switch with a pointy thing ; release after first LED indication

  8. Power LED will flash slowly

  9. Use TFTP client to put target firmware in bin mode; set trace to show progess; $tftp>trace ; $tftp>bin; $tftp>put .trx

  10. Trace will show transfer ; wait for router to reboot.

no more ideas what to do

here is short cut

return offical 24.10 release than you will able the install custom package

install facinstall.ipk after that openwrt will support asus stock trx images you will able the install offical trx image from openwrt luci (flash operations tab)
