Rpi2b high CPU freq

  • Hi to all!
    I'm wandering why the cpu frequency of my rpi2b with libreelec is always at its maximum.. Even if kodi is doing nothing at all!

    Config.txt:

    Watching for this file it always contains the value "1000000"
    /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq

    The governor: "ondemand"
    /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

    Kodi log kodi.log
    [hr]
    Some stats:

  • The basic rule of the performance governor is to use turbo mode whenever any arm core is above 50% busy.

    Use the "p" option of bcmstat to get each core's cpu usage.
    Use the "m" option of bcmstat to disable colourisation if you are copy/pasting the output (your stats.txt wasn't really readable).
