Raspberry Pi Overclocking Guide – Cheap, Fun, and Overclockable (with HWBOT Prime)


Recommended Posts

I have been playing quite alot with it now. Still having a hard time getting Java 1.8 to work on Arch linux

Just ordered 2 more units after I found this person: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=51119&p=395436

 

running 1400mhz arm_core

 

My first unit are having problems with higher than 1165 mhz arm_core and that only gives me 540 points

Hey, I get it working like this:

 

 

pacman -S vim

(I'm used to working with vim to write/edit txt files)

 

wget http://www.java.net/download/jdk8/archive/b100/binaries/jdk-8-ea-b100-linux-arm-vfp-hflt-24_jul_2013.tar.gz

(or go to the oracle java 8 website and download from there)

 

tar -xzf jdk-8-ea-b100-linux-arm-vfp-hflt-24_jul_2013.tar.gz -C /opt

 

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/jdk1.8.0/bin

(link Java to system variables, you have to do it each time you reboot)

 

java -version

(check if Java is working)

 

wget http://downloads.hwbot.org/hwbotprime.jar

 

java -jar hwbotprime.jar

The Odroid-U2 is indeed an awesome little thingie, with a lot of performance and only consuming max. 10W! I haven't figured out how to 'OC' it beyond 2GHz.

Hardkernel now also has an ODROID-XU with Samsung Exynos5 Octa big.little design (4x Cortex-A15 @1.6Ghz + 4x Cortex-A7 @1.2Ghz). It starts shipping in September and is now $149 pre-order. Unfortunately you can only use 4 cores at the same time.

 

It would be interesting to see the performance differences between the ARM architectures (ARM6, Cortex -A7-A8-A9-A15)

Got it working on my smartphone. First I tried Debian, but couldn't solve the java command symlink.

Although there was a symlink in /usr/bin, it was still reporting that there's not.

So I've installed the Raspbian.

Here's my first run: http://hwbot.org/submission/2412106_i.nfrar.ed_hwbot_prime_4x_arm1176_s_1360.94_primes_per_second

 

Phone is Lenovo A820 with Quad-core ARMv7 MT6589 chipset + SGX544MP video. What is the correct category to submit?

 

Unfortunately MTK-based phones can't be overclocked yet, so I'm stuck at 1.2GHz.

 

BTW, it's using 2 threads only, don't know why - maybe it's because I'm running it chrooted (as a slave OS).

 

root@infrared:/# java -jar hwbotprime.jar
java -jar hwbotprime.jar
