Fan working strategy EC-A1684JD4 fans work in 4 levels: The higher the working level of the fan, the faster the speed. If the current temperature of the main controller is lower than 33°C, the fan is turned off by default. Users can view the current working temperature of the main controller by executing the following command: cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp For example the following is 45.5°C: linaro@bm1684:~$ cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp 45500 In addition, the user can also manually turn on the fan by himself (write 0-4, 0 is off, 4 is the maximum level): sudo -i echo 4 > /sys/class/thermal/cooling_device0/cur_state
