N1200 And N2100 Fan Control Script

Information

The Thecus N1200 and N2100 have the same fan controller, a Fintek F75375. Below is an adapted version of the script commonly used on the N2100. Copy the file contents and paste them into a file, make it executable and ensure it is launched by one of your init scripts when your device boots.

You will only need this script if you are running custom firmware for your device, for example Gentoo or Ubuntu. If you are using the Thecus firmware and kernel then you do not need this. If you are using foonas it should be included already.

Installation

First copy and paste the script below into /usr/sbin/temper, then make sure it is executable:

chmod 755 /usr/sbin/temper

Now follow the instructions for your distribution below.

Gentoo

Edit /etc/conf.d/local.start in your favorite editor and the following to the bottom of the file:

temper &>/dev/null &

Ubuntu
