Comment 7 Ross Charles C. 2019-05-01 11:41:37 UTC

From the looks of it, it seems atlas failed at detecting CPU throttling. atlas will detect if the CPU on the building environment has a dynamic frequency (i.e CPU throttling), if the config system detects that your CPU freq is not constant, it will simply fail.
The simplest workaround for this issue is `echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor`, which will force CPU to run in a constant freq. A slightly complicated workaround is to change the configuration code so it will skip the detection for CPU throttling entirely.
