Rtop, a Rockchip performance monitor

We all know htop or jtop for the Jetson series.
Time for the same performance tool for the Rockchip RK3566/68/82/88 processors.


It comes in two flavours:
One for the original Rock OS with KDE.
And the other for the Ubuntu 22/24 OS by Joshua Riek.

The installation is simple: download the repository and run the install script.
For your convenience, the Qt5 code and the used commands are included.

Looks really nice.

Is there a text version (ala htop) for non-desktop users?

I was thinking about the same,
I know that htop has some plugins functionality and it would be nice to get support for gpu/npu cores.

@Rients_Politiek good work :slight_smile:

BTW: is there only one temp sensor? I think at least most nvme should have additional one and when nvme is used this one is important too.
also obviously missing some network speed/transfer indicator and small/big cores label.
I think there should be some interesting information on pmic voltages.

For that u have htop dont you? lol

Yes, We have htop for that - but htop doesn’t show the NPU or GPU performance. That for me is the interesting part.

Thank you so much, love this!
Next Sophon plz :smiley:

@Rients_Politiek In new BSP kernels you will have the opportunity to show VPU utilizations.

I wanted this so I forked the code. See the solution here:

nice work!

had done similar for the interested parties.


it fetches regulators, saradc (ie: input voltage), pwms

also hwmons, cpufreq & devfreq devices, wireless signal info, dmidata, drm data (only for i915 atm since this is the only device i have.)

Never did the rga, npu monitors since those were debugfs thought they were not reliable and subject to change, but can be expanded easily, the thing is very modular.
