5.7x version issues

I checked on my side, the FAN works.

FAN control in /boot/env.txt doesn’t work for 5.x kernel now. The FAN works always on auto mode.

And the trigger temperature is 80 Celsius. Are you sure the board temperature is higher then 80 Celsius? So the FAN will not work unless the temperature is higher then 80 Celsius.

You can check the temperature like this:

$ cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp

Anyway, you can trigger the FAN to work manually like this, but the FAN will stop if the temperature is not high enough.

  • LOW
$ echo 1 > /sys/class/thermal/cooling_device2/cur_state 
  • MID
$ echo 2 > /sys/class/thermal/cooling_device2/cur_state 
  • HIGH
$ echo 3 > /sys/class/thermal/cooling_device2/cur_state 

You can use such commands to check whether the FAN works.

I’m not sure what you mean. I can connect the AP on my side.

Yes, such applications should be removed, 5.x kernel don’t need these applications.
