What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.open shell
2.type "sudo ectool fanduty 40"
3.and the fan turns to maximum speed several seconds and return back to its previous status.

What is the expected result?

ioctl -1, errno 74 (Bad message), EC result 1 (INVALID_COMMAND)
ioctl -1, errno 74 (Bad message), EC result 6 (INVALID_VERSION)
Fan duty cycle set.

What happens instead of that?

the fan will accelerate when temperature gets high, even after typing the above command.

Hi cl3869@,

What's the output of `ectool version`?

Hi,

the output is the following:

ioctl -1, errno 74 (Bad message), EC result 1 (INVALID_COMMAND)
RO version:    link_v1.2.120-1137a99
RW version:    link_v1.2.145-352afa8
Firmware copy: RW
Build info:    link_v1.2.145-352afa8 2015-11-18 13:00:18 @build169-m2

the command is working, for several seconds and the fan speed return to its original speed. I solve this by using a for loop to set the fan frequency for every 1 second.
It's possible that we have some thermal framework that is overwriting your (temporary) fan speed change. I'm not sure how to disable that though.
