[BUG] Embedded Imager on Pi5 runs fan at full-tilt

Open lurch opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Describe the bug When running Embedded Imager (network OS installer) on a Raspberry Pi 5 with an Active Cooler attached, the fan is running full-speed the whole time, which is slightly annoying. I'm sure that writing an OS image to an SD-card can't be very CPU-intensive!

To Reproduce Connect up power to a Pi 5 with a blank micro SD card inserted, connected to a USB keyboard, USB mouse, HDMI monitor and Ethernet cable. Follow the on-screen instructions to load the embedded version of RPi Imager.

Expected behaviour The fan should turn off if the CPU is under low-load (just like it does in Raspberry Pi OS).

Screenshots or video If applicable, add screenshots or a video to help explain your problem.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: None!

The name of the OS you are trying to write Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit

Are you using OS Customisation? Yes, but that doesn't matter

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.

It’s possibly missing the fan dt overlay.

I believe this should now be resolved - @lurch can you confirm?
