New Update !!


To enable fan control:

Please follow the guide https://faq.fydeos.com/en/getting-started/shell-access/ to enter the shell and be root.

mount -o remount,rw /
cp /usr/share/rock5b/rock5-fan-control.conf /etc/init/;
Reboot.

The daemon service will start fan as the strategy defined in /etc/fan-control.json. You can change it by doing steps 1 and 2 and then modify the file.

To enable A8 bluetooth:

Please follow the guide https://faq.fydeos.com/en/getting-started/shell-access/ to enter the shell and be root.

mount -o remount,rw /
nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
-- then add these lines somewhere (at the bottom of the file is fine):
blacklist pgdrv
blacklist btusb
blacklist btrtl
blacklist btbcm
blacklist btintel
Then press Ctrl+X, then Y.
reboot.
