RK3399 | Overclocking device tree overlay does not work since kernel 5.15
DietPi v7.4.2 Device model : NanoPi M4/T4/NEO4 (aarch64)
I set governor=performance, but cpu still only 1.8g max, how can I do ?
Many thanks for your question.
The GPU governor has no effect on the maximum frequency, it only decides if/when to change it in the set min/max borders. I remember for the RK3399 SoCs there was a device tree overlay available on newest kernel to change the max frequency. Can you check:
ls -l /boot/dtb/rockchip/overlay
@MichaIng Thanks for your reply, info print below, and then what should I do next?

Please try the following:
if grep -q '^overlays=' /boot/armbianEnv.txt
then
sed -i '/^overlays=/s/$/ rk3399-opp-2ghz/' /boot/armbianEnv.txt
else
echo 'overlays=rk3399-opp-2ghz' >> /boot/armbianEnv.txt
fi
reboot
This adds the RK3399 2 GHz overclocking device tree overlay. Switch the governor back to ondemand or better schedutil, so that it does not run at 2 GHz even on idle (performance governor).
Great 🙂, I'll mark the issue as closed then. Feel free to reopen if required.
In the same way, overclocking not work on Bullseye : (
Accurate to say, the Dietpi Bullseye is update from Armbian by dietpi-installer script, not original Dietpi Bullseye.

I verified that overclocking doesn't work on NanoPi R4S either, so it seems to affect all RK3399 SBCs with recent kernel v5.15 😞.
Basically reported here: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/20584-armbian-config-it-does-not-work/ And: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/18153-rk3399-ram-overclocking-rockpro64/
Solved with the Linux 6.1 upgrade applied with DietPi v8.21. At least on NanoPi R4S, overclocking works now well with these overlays 🙂.
