-==== Enable serial console ​==== +===== FAQ ===== 
-To enable the serial console, add ''​console=ttymxc0,​115200''​ to the command line, after ''​setenv baseconfig''​. The third line in /​boot/​boot.src.txt should look something like this: +==== Change CPU governor policy ​==== 
-<​code>​ +Per default, ​//performance/​governor is active when Kodi is in use (i.e. no screensaver is active). When Kodi is running idle (with screensaver on), xbian switches ​to //​conservative//​ governor. To change ​the governor for active use to //​ondemand//,​ append this line to **/​etc/​default/​xbian-module-init-tools**:​
-setenv baseconfig console=ttymxc0,​115200 coherent_pool=1M rw ahci_imx.hotplug=1 raid=noautodetect telnet root=/​dev/​mmcblk0p2 video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,​1920x1080M@60,​if=RGB24 rootwait consoleblank=0 selinux=0 nohdparm splash dmfc=3 +

-Run /boot/mks to activate ​the change.+
  
-To enable ​terminal on the serial consolecopy the file ''​/etc/init/tty1.conf'' ​to ''​/etc/init/tty3.conf''​. Edit the last line in the new file, replace tty1 with ttymxc0, and 38400 with 115200. It should look like this: +//​CPUFREQ_GOVERNOR="​ondemand"//​ 
-<​code>​ + 
-exec /sbin/getty -8 115200 ttymxc0 +Note that if you do not set screensaver, the governor will not fall back to //conservative//, but will instead stick to //performance// or //demand//, depending on your setup.
