Anyways - looks like Device Tree in general with Armbian needs some work on the NanoPi Neo2 period...

 

Not surprising at all, and not just for the NEO2...!  Please feel free to contribute (https://www.armbian.com/get-involved/#submit) 

just to report back all three LTS boards are working great at 1,3GHz ( when needed ).

However I checked recently v1.1. ( NanoPi NEO2 LTS ) page and it states under CPU: " Frequency:4* Cortex-A53 1.5GHz "

Any chance to get this stable, or is 1.3GHz really the utmost that can be squeezed out?

Also updated " MIN_SPEED=120000 " ( instead of 480000 )

1.5GHz

Those numbers are for marketing purposes. Read it as theoretical maximum, which doesn't give you any gain except more heat.

No. And leave MIN & MAX settings as is - they are fine tuned for best performance.

Anything below 480 MHz just trashes storage performance and almost saves no power. So leave minimal freq as is.

next reboot I will revert " MIN_SPEED=120000 " to "480000".

In terms of power consumption indeed hardly difference, was just a trying.

thanks, 1.3GHz it is ( as well 480MHz ) :-)
