- Jetson Fan Control is a tool designed to manage fan speeds for the Nvidia Jetson Nano, ensuring optimal thermal performance while maintaining a quiet operation.
- This provides a comprehensive guide on setting up, installing, and customizing the fan control system.
To utilize Jetson Fan Control effectively, you'll need:
- Jetson Nano Aluminum Heatsink with PWM Speed Adjustment
- The fan of this radiator can be automatically controlled by the Jetson Nano system and the fan rotation can be controlled through the FAN J15 pin
-
Run the installation script:
sudo ./install.sh
This script ensures the fan control system starts automatically at boot.
To tailor fan control settings to your preferences, follow these steps:
-
Open the configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/automagic-fan/config.json
-
Adjust the following parameters according to your needs:
{ "FAN_OFF_TEMP": 20, "FAN_MAX_TEMP": 50, "UPDATE_INTERVAL": 2, "MAX_PERF": 1 }
FAN_OFF_TEMP
: Temperature (°C) below which the fan is turned off.FAN_MAX_TEMP
: Temperature (°C) above which the fan operates at 100% speed.UPDATE_INTERVAL
: Update interval for fan speed (in seconds).MAX_PERF
: Values greater than 0 maximize system performance by setting CPU and GPU clock speeds to the maximum.
-
Save changes and exit the editor.
-
Reboot the system to apply the new settings. Alternatively, restart the fan control service:
sudo service automagic-fan restart
Troubleshooting:
If encountering issues, use the following command to check the status:
