What problem does it solve?
Manually editing nvfancontrol fan configuration files on Jetson/Tegra platforms is error-prone and risks breaking the BSP overlay diff trail, leading to lost customizations on BSP re-initialization.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Fan Profile Management: Add, remove, or edit nvfancontrol fan profiles, including temperature-PWM/RPM curves and hysteresis values, to tune thermal and acoustic behavior.
- Boot Default Configuration: Change the default fan control mode, active profile, and governor used when the device boots.
- Profile Inspection: List all defined fan profiles and the current boot default for the active Jetson/Tegra SKU.
- Use Case: An embedded engineer can adjust the fan curve for an Orin Nano dev kit to reduce noise during low-load workloads while ensuring adequate cooling under high thermal load.
Quick Start
Use the jetson-customize-fan skill to add a new quiet fan profile with a maximum PWM of 150 at 60°C and set it as the boot default for the active Jetson target.
