A roundup of 2021 news and releases not already covered on RISCOSitory With 2021 now behind us, the time has come for one final round up of news that hasn’t already found its way onto onto these pages – although this time, in fact, it’s the only round up of such news for 2021; for 2020, a snippets post appeared half way through the year and then another just after the year ended – but no earlier post has been compiled for 2021.
Read MoreNo, wait, that’s 2.05, a version number – not 2:05, a time! Chris Johnson has – apparently belatedly – announced the release of CPUClock (mirror) version 2.05, an small application that can display the speed and temperature of the CPU, as well as offer some control, such as reducing the clock speed if the temperature reaches a trigger value. According to Chris, the core functionality hasn’t changed in the new version, but it benefits from the availability of more details on the CPU status, and any control of its speed.…
Read MoreA round-up of 2017 news that could have been reported on at the time if people had only sent it this way! With 2017 now behind us, looking back over the RISCOSitory posts for the year might leave people thinking there has been very little activity in the RISC OS world – but in fact it merely means there have been very few posts on the site over the course of the year. This, sadly, is a reflection of the amount of news submitted to RISCOSitory by developers etc, more…
Read MoreSee you, CPU! Chris Johnson has released version 2.01 of CPU monitoring and regulating software CPUClock (mirror), which amongst other things is able to watch the processor’s temperature and automatically adjust the clock speed appropriately.
Read MoreAnnouncement from Chris Johnson, 12th November, 2013 When I first produced CPUClock about a year ago, it only worked on the BeagleBoard. The PandaBoard OMAP4 ROM did not implement the SWI Portable_Speed2 fully at the time. Having now obtained a PandaBoard ES, I find that the SWI is now fully implemented, and CPUClock now works on the more recent ROM versions of the PandaBoard. I add below an extract from the original announcement.
Read MoreMonitor those megahertz! Chris Johnson has released version 1.00 of CPUClock (also available here), a small application for BeagleBoard-based systems running RISC OS, that presents the user with a small status window displaying the configured fast and slow speeds of the CPU, as well as the speed at which it is currently operating.
