[Feature Request]: cpufreq configuration

[Ybalrid]

Which feature would you like to have?

Hi!

I just reinstalled the OS in the board that manages my 3d printer (an Orange Pi 3 LTS that is there to run Klipper...).

The older version of this tool used to have a very nice UI to configure cpufreq governor, min and max speed. This was a nice feature. I have been quite surrpised to see it gone.

It seems cpufreqd is not installed by default either. Is this why this new armbian-config script does not support this feature anymore?

I am mostly just curious as if it was removed on purpose, or just not added to this new version. And if that is the latter, is it possible to do so? I think the way these menus are scripted is not too too complicated, and I am potentially interested in adding the options after I figure out how it used to work thaks to the doc or the old repo maybe.

It seems cpufreqd is not installed by default either.

Previous method was dependent on cpufrequtils https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/cpufrequtils/cpufreq-info.1.en.html which hasn't been updated in ages and is considered deprecated.

Solution is this:

sudo apt install linux-cpupower

But for user friendliness, a service and some selection menus has to be added to the config.
