rpi-stresstest

CPU Stresstest for Raspberry Pi´s

This is a bash based script. It´s maxing all cores to the highest frequency over a set time (in seconds) and saves the results in a CSV-file.

I tested this script on the Pi Zero W, Pi 1b, 2b, 3b, b+ and Pi 4b.

This repo is usefull for monitoring cpu temperatures of your Pi over a certain amount of time.

Check out the Wiki and the manual

How to:

Install this git-repo:

     git clone https://github.com/junglert/rpi-stresstest.git

Exec the script, you may have to change the permissions with

     chmod +x stresstest.sh

After you changed the permissions execute the script:

      ./stresstest.sh

You will notice, that the script is not executing, instead the script is showing its usage:

      Usage: 1. sudo ./stresstest -s or --start  | to start the script     
             2. ./stresstest -h or --help        | for help page
             3. ./stresstest.sh                  | for usage

Starting the script:

      sudo ./stresstest -s or --start

After you started the script, it will automatically check if stress is installed. If stress is not installed, it´s going to be installed. If stress is installed the script will go on with the following prompts:

    Runtime in seconds:     Enter the amount of time, in seconds, that you want the script to run
    Filename.csv:           Enter your filename with .csv at the end 
                            (the file is created in the source folder of the script)

Enter your wanted amount of time and a name.

The script will now start to stress your Raspberry Pi and log all stats into a CSV-file.

Future plans:

• changing temperature command to something else that does not need sudo

• user input for time and file ✔

• automatically installes stress if not already installed ✔

• script creates own alias maybe in the near future, have to find a good way to implement

• help-page ✔

• testing on other Pi´s ✔

  • RaspberryPi 4 ✔
  • RaspberryPi 3b and b+ ✔
  • RaspberryPi 2b ✔
  • RaspberryPi 1b ✔
  • RaspberryPi Zero W ✔

• creating a wiki / manual ✔
