  2. Enable 25W PoE Overlay

If you need to enable the temperature control fan and temperature sensor, you need to enable the corresponding Overlay.

Please refer to Device Tree Configuration to enable the overlay named "Enable Radxa 25W PoE HAT".

  [*] Enable Radxa 25W PoE HAT

Finally, reboot the device to load the Overlay.

info

If you cannot find the corresponding Overlay in rsetup, please use rsetup -> system-update to first perform a system update and then perform the above.

  1. Checking Temperature Sensor Readings

After executing the following command, the second line outputs t=XXYYYY which is the current temperature (XX.YYY degrees Celsius):
