iMX8M Plus: Possible PM issue

Hello,

we are currently running some stress tests and figured out that the board during the test going in off state after a while.

The test looks like this:

  1. Start "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null" four times to stress every cpu core
  2. Start "glmark2-es2-wayland -b effect2d --run-forever" to stress gpu at the same time

After a while the cpu is going in the off state and the log of glmark tools shows that the fps number going higher because of high cpu temperature of 83C.

Here is the log of glmark tool:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the log I have marked 3 points that are importend from my point of view.

  • Point 1: The GPU going to slow down because of hight temperature. It should be okay.
  • Point 2: The FPS is going high, which maybe means that the clock is switched back to the higher state becaue of high temperature of 83C. Checked by command "cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp" (DebugFS)
  • Point 3: After some times and rising temperature (checked by same command before) the system is going down.

Note: If I start glmark only then all works fine and after the message at point 1 message "Hot alarm is canceled. GPU3D clock will return..." is coming.

Is this behavior already known? Is there any solution? Additional we figure out that the issue can be reproduced match faster without the cpu cooler.

I am using rel_imx_5.4.70_2.3.2 based Yocto BSP.

Thank you.

This isn't a issue. System is too hot. GPU3D will work at 1/64 clock cause temp  drop rapidly(79-71) and due to we are running GPU test, the temp will still increase(71-79).This is caused by dynamic temperature control.

Hello,

thank you for your reply and your time.

Did you start command from test description (1.) one time for each CPU core? In my test I need to stress CPU first and then at the same time to start glmark test. Glmark test standalone work in my test enviroment too.

Normally I can reproduce the behavior that you can see in my log every time.

Yes, i start the CPU stress test and then run the GPU test.

Hello,

first time we saw this behavior in climate chamber test with a cooler. But without CPU cooler we can reproduce this behavior match faster within 5 minutes. In the climate chamber test with the cpu cooler was the time about 10 minutes.

Unfortunately I did not have EVK board with iMX8MP on my table. Can you probably run the test a bit longer? At the same time I will try it with other EVK board and come back to you.

Thank you.

Hi @ad-fsdev 

 

I have test it without cooler about 20 minutes. The highest temp is 79.The temp range is about 73~79 during stress test.

Hello,

I think that the key to reproduce this behavior is to reach 85 °C or a bit more. Can you use e.g. a blow-dryer or  somethink like that to get cpu hot.

I am loading currently the binaries for EVK iMX8MQ and then will run the test on it.

Thank you.

You can simulate it at room temp without chamber.

root@imx8mmevk:~# cat /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_0*
2000
85000
passive

root@imx8mmevk:~# cat /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
45000

45000 - 2000 =  43000


echo 43000 > /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_0_temp
[ 89.372417] System is too hot. GPU3D will work at 32/64 clock.

Hello,

I did test L5.4.70-2.3.0_images_MX8MQEVK binaries and unfortunately can't reproduce same behavior on imx8mq evk board. In the case if cpu temp exceeded alert temp. the number of FPS stayed small over the time.

Do you have maybe any news? Was it for you possible to heat the cpu temp. over 85 C?

I think the key point is why you can heat the cpu temp. over 85 C in your custom board during the same test, but you and i can't heat cpu temp over 85C in EVK...This could be hardware issue.

You can simulate it at room temp without chamber. or heat to 85C.

Hello,

first of all I have to thank you for your time.

>> why you can heat the cpu temp. over 85 C in your custom board

The reasion for this test was to see how the cpu is working under critical conditions. From our oringin test we figured out that in the critical temerature range GPU was working with high frecequency because of high temperature.

With the tip to change temperature simultaneous I was able to reproduce original test without heat the cpu.

Additional step to my first test (1., 2. same) is to change alert temp:

3. Check current temp: cat /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp

    In my case it was 68000

4. Change alert temperature e.g.: echo 75000 > /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_0_temp. (default 85000)

Normaly the message "[effect2d] <default>:System is too hot. GPU3D will work at 1/64 clock." should be coming.

5. Now wait a bit to check FPS number. if FPS does not go high then set alert temp to current + 11000 (+11 C -> should cancel alert) and try steps 3. and 4. again.
