Performance and SSH

Performance controls

The performance controls in Quick Access work: performance profile, TDP limit, GPU clock and charge limit, bypass charging included.

KONKR Pocket FIT and AYANEO Pocket S2

These devices have three performance profiles:

Profile	Behaviour
Silent	GPU capped, quiet fan
Balanced	The default
Turbo	Big cores pinned high, fan starts early

On the Pocket FIT the Performance button switches profiles. The KONKR Control plugin and the konkrctl command do the same.

konkrctl status               # profile, fan, clocks and temperatures
konkrctl profile turbo        # switch profile
konkrctl rgb ff3c00           # stick colour (Pocket FIT)
konkrctl speaker flat         # speakers without the loudness boost
konkr-game fast %command%     # FEX preset in launch options: fast, fastest or compat

Exact 60 and 120 Hz

On the Retroid Pocket 6 and AYN Odin 3 the panels can run slightly off their nominal rate, which makes a frame limiter stutter now and then. To calibrate:

1. In Desktop Mode, set the screen to 60 Hz.
2. Open Konsole and run sudo steamos-arm-panel-calibrate.
3. Set the screen to 120 Hz and run the command again.

Each run takes about 20 seconds, and the result persists across reboots. steamos-arm-panel-calibrate show prints the stored values.

SSH

SSH is off by default.

1. Set a password with passwd in Konsole.
2. Run sudo systemctl enable --now sshd.
3. Connect from a PC with ssh steamos@<device-ip>.

Root login is disabled, so use sudo. Turn SSH off again with sudo systemctl disable --now sshd.
