New SDK performance mode

[Jeffrey Mao]

Hi Modalai,

For the new sdk 1.1.1 if we want to set the voxl2 to performance mode do we follow the same instruction here

Thermal and Performance

ModalAI technical documentation for VOXL and VOXL 2 Companion Computers for PX4 and ArduPilot Obstacle Avoidance and GPS-denied navigation, assembled in the USA

ModalAI Technical Docs (docs.modalai.com)

It seems that when we cat we have a diffferent string and trying to use the command to pipe the string performance does nothing

Thanks

Adding more information (I work with Jeffrey), we get an error

[ Error writing lock file /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/.scaling_governor.swp: Permission denied ]

I can't seem to delete the .swp file either.

Thanks!

@mrunaljsarvaiya are you using VOXL 1 or VOXL 2? You're pointing to the VOXL 1 user guide.

It may not be well documented, but voxl-cpu-monitor can set the scaling mode in its config file

@Moderator Hi We are using Voxl2.

Do you have any documentation for voxl-cpu-monitor or where it is for Voxl2 any starting point would be helpful

[tom]

@Jeffrey-Mao I would first run voxl-configure-cpu-monitor factory_enable to enable the service with default settings.

Then, you can modify the config file at /etc/modalai/voxl-cpu-monitor.conf and change normal_cpu_mode to performance

[tom]

@tom The conf file also has some comments that describe other possible config options

Thanks it works like a charm now for the help
