Throttling

[Afeefah]

We are using imx6ull processor and we want to enable throttling in kernel(thermal driver).Could you please guide us on how to enable throttling.

Hi @Afeefah,

I hope you are doing well.

One has to enable the CONFIG_IMX_THERMAL option in kernel configuration to use the imx thermal driver.

One can set the default threshold trip points for throttling in imx_init_temp_grade at  imx_thermal.c driver

Please refer to below mentioned documents for more information.

1. 2.9 Thermal in i.MX Linux Reference Manual
2. Temperature Monitoring on i.MX platforms
3. Thermal Management

Thanks & Regards,
