vcgencmd get_throttled returns 0xd0000 and 0x50000

[H0R4T1U]

Hi! I've ran the vcgencmd get_throttled and it retuned 0x50000 durring an system update and 0xd0000 while standing by and after i've restarted the pi with no app open it returned 0x0.But i don't understand what this hex numbers means

#### get_throttled

Returns the throttled state of the system. This is a bit pattern.

| Bit | Meaning |
|:---:|---------|
| 0 | Under-voltage detected |
| 1 | Arm frequency capped |
| 2 | Currently throttled |
| 3 | Soft temperature limit active |
| 16 | Under-voltage has occurred |
| 17 | Arm frequency capped has occurred |
| 18 | Throttling has occurred |
| 19 | Soft temperature limit has occurred

to get to this bits i need to convert the hex to binary?

Yes.

For the values you're seeing, just the first hex character.

soo for 0x0 or 0x50000 it means im under voltage?

Not for 0x0. No bits are set there. for 0x5... the bits 19-16 are 0101, so throttling has occurred (bit 18) and undervolt has occurred (bit 16).

This may help clarify:

Hex 5 0 0 0 0
Binary 0101 0000 0000 0000 0000

----------- 9876 5432 1098 7654 3210
-------------------^--- Bit 16 is on - Been under voltage (at least once)
---------------^------- Bit 18 is on - Been throttled (at least once)
(Note: since bits 0-3 are zero, the Pi is not currently UV or throttled).

Edit: Formatting didn't come through as planned, but should be good enough to get the idea.

Wrap it in code tags so spaces aren't eaten by the browser and a fixed-width font is used.

Tried code tagsfirst, no help. Spaces were still removed.
I expected code tags to honor (honour ) indentation.

Edit: Thanks B.Goode. I copied and pasted from a document to between the code tags...hmm

They do. See my version, above...

Was that in preview? Preview lives in a world of its own and can mess bits up depending on the way the wind blows (just try inline images for fun - not)...

Andyroo,
I believe I was in preview mode.
