7 The methods of Coreboard Thermal Control

7.1 Thermal Control Strategy

There is a generic thermal system driver framework in the Linux kernel that defines a number of temperature control strategies. The following three strategies are currently in common use:

  • Power_allocator: Introduces proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control, dynamically allocates power to each module based on the current temperature and converts power to Frequency to achieve Frequency limiting based on temperature.
  • Step_wise: Limits the Frequenof in steps based on the current temperature.
  • User space: Does not limit Frequency.

The RK3328 chip has a T-sensor that detects the chip’s internal temperature and uses the Power_allocator strategy by default. The operating states are as follows:

  • If the temperature exceeds the set temperature value:
    ·  If the temperature trend is rising, the Frequency is gradually reduced.
    ·  If the temperature trend is falling, the Frequency is gradually increased.
  • When the temperature falls to the set temperature value:
    ·  If the temperature trend is increasing, the Frequency remains unchanged.
    ·  If the temperature trend is falling, the Frequency is gradually increased.
  • Suppose the Frequency reaches its maximum and the temperature is still below the set valve. In that case, the CPU frequency is no longer under thermal control, and the CPU frequency becomes system load frequency modulation.
  • If the chip is still overheating after the Frequency has been reduced (e.g., due to poor heat dissipation) and the temperature exceeds 95 degrees, the software will trigger a restart t. If the restart fails due to deadlock or other reasons and the chip exceeds 105 degrees, the otp_out inside the chip will trigger an immediate shutdown by the PMIC.

Note: The temperature trend is determined by comparing the previous and current temperaturesIf the device temperature is below the threshold, the temperature is sampled every l seconds; if the device temperature exceeds the threshold, the temperature is sampled every 20ms, and the Frequency is limited.

7.2 Thermal Control Configure

The RK3328 SDK provides separate thermal control strategies for the CPU and G U.
Please refer to the (Rockchip_Developer_Guide_Thermal) document for specific configurations.

8 Production Guide of DSOM-050 RK3308 SOM

8.1 SMT process

Select modules that can be SMT or in-line packaged according to the customer’s PCB design. If the board is designed for SMT packaging, use SMT-packaged modules. If the board is designed for in-line assembly, use in-line assembly y.

Modules must be soldered within 24 hours of unpacking. If not, place them in a dry cabinet with a relative humidity of no more than 10% or re-pack them in a vacuum and record the exposure time (total exposure time must not exceed 168 hours).

Instruments or equipment required for SMT assembly:

  • SMT Mounter
  • SPI
  • Reflow soldering
  • Oven temperature tester
  • AOI

 

Instruments or equipment required for baking:

  • Cabinet ovens
  • Antistatic high-temperature trays
  • Antistatic and high-temperature gloves

8.2 Module storage conditions:

Moisture-proof bags must be stored at a temperature <40°C and humidity <90%H. Dry-packed products have a shelf life of 12 months from the date of sealing of the package—sealed packaging with a humidity indicator card.

image41

8.3 Baking is required when:

The vacuum bag is found to be broken before unpacking.
After unpacking, the bag is found to be without a humidity indicator card.
The humidity indicator card reads 10% or more after unpacking, and the color ring turns pink.
Total exposure time after unpacking exceeds 168 hours.
More than 12 months from the date of the first sealed packaging.

Baking parameters are as follows:

Baking temperature: 60°C for reel packs, humidity less than or equal to 5% RH; 125°C for tray packs, humidity less than or equal to 5% RH (high-temperature-resistant trays, not blister packs for tow trays).

Baking time: 48 hours for reel packaging; 12 hours for pallet packaging.

Alarm temperature setting: 65°C for reel packs; 135°C for pallet packs.

After cooling to below 36°C under natural conditions, production can be carried out.

If the exposure time after baking is greater than 168 hours and not used up, bake again.

If the exposure time is more than 168 hours without baking, it is not recommended to use the reflow soldering process to solder this batch of modules. The modules are class 3 moisture-sensitive devices and may become damp when the exposure time exceeds d. 

This may lead to device failure or poor soldering when high-temperature soldering is carried out.

8.4 ESD

Please protect the module from electrostatic discharge (ESD) during the entire production process.

8.5 Conformity

To ensure product qualification rates, it is recommended to use SPI and AOI test equipment to monitor solder paste printing and placement quality.

8.6 Recommended Furnace Temperature Profile

Please follow the reflow profile for SMT placement with a peak temperature of 245C. The reflow temperature profile is shown below using the SAC305 alloy solder paste.
