It seems that the CPU itself does not provide any interfaces for that, at least neither of acpi_perf/acpi_throttle/cpufreq seem to detect anything interesting for them. Or am I mistaken and doing something wrong ? Anyway, my MB is based on nForce2 chipset and I found out that Linux has cpufreq-nforce2 module that works in their cpufreq framework: http://www.hasw.net/linux/ It seems that that module works by using nForce2 PCI interface for querying and changing FSB frequency. It also seems that the code is rather simple and obvious in its logic (save for allegedly reverse-engineered constants). Not sure though how easy it is to port that to FreeBSD cpufreq framework. But the question that I really would like to ask is the following: is it a proper way to do cpufreq stuff by changing FSB frequency ? Would that approach fit into our framework ? And finally, would it have any positive temperature/power consumption effects ? -- Andriy Gapon From owner-freebsd-acpi@FreeBSD.ORG Fri May 26 05:52:06 2006 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-acpi@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-acpi@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id DCA2716A588 for ; Fri, 26 May 2006 05:52:06 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from pascal.simon@schwarzpartner.ch) Received: from mail03.agrinet.ch (mail03.agrinet.ch [81.221.250.52]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8147D43D48 for ; Fri, 26 May 2006 05:52:06 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from pascal.simon@schwarzpartner.ch) Received: from spntsrv.SPAG.local (81.221.15.211) by mail03.agrinet.ch (7.0.024) id 4473314500055F35 for freebsd-acpi@freebsd.org; Fri, 26 May 2006 07:52:05 +0200 Date: Fri, 26 May 2006 07:48:48 +0200 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable X-MS-Has-Attach: X-MS-TNEF-Correlator: Thread-Topic: AMD Turion in a Server thread-index: AcaAiA7qtLPTe9xhQUSMvDcMN9YtrQ== From: "Simon Pascal" Content-Class: urn:content-classes:message X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft Exchange V6.0.6249.0 To: Subject: AMD Turion in a Server X-BeenThere: freebsd-acpi@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: ACPI and power management development List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 26 May 2006 05:52:08 -0000 Hy all My server is running a AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology MT-37 CPU = plugged into a Aopen VK8T800a-LF motherboard.
