970 PRO NVMe M.2 1TB SSD is not detected on Xavier dev kit

The patch refers to line 334 of the tegra194-soc-pcie.dtsi, which is the pcie_ep@14180000, if I understand correctly.

Changed the lines 506 (num-lanes) and 536 (nvidia,max-speed) according the patch.

xxd /proc/device-tree/pcie@14180000/nvidia,max-speed
00000000: 0000 0003 …
xxd /proc/device-tree/pcie@14180000/num-lanes
00000000: 0000 0004 …

Samsung NVMe is still not showing up. Maybe problem with the dev kit board?

Update.

Tested with Intel SSD 660p SERIES, 512GB NVMe disk. The dev kit does not detect it either. Tried both stock and patched kernel.

Can this be a hardware fault? Is there anything, I can do, to verify, that the hardware is ok?

Did you try with the latest Jetpack release? GA4.4?

I use a 970 evo plus in my NX without issue. I use a 960 EVO on my AGX. It works for me on the stock kernel, so I do think there might be a hardware fault in your case. Seems you are missing a PCI bridge or two. My lspci is:

 $ lspci
0000:00:00.0 PCI bridge: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1ad0 (rev a1)
0000:01:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller: Samsung Electronics Co Ltd NVMe SSD Controller SM961/PM961

0003:00:00.0 PCI bridge: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1ad2 (rev a1)
0003:01:00.0 System peripheral: Device 1ac1:089a

My JetPack version is 4.4.

Can you clarify, 960 EVO is working on AGX but 960 EVO Pro is not working ?

@omp
On AGX, I am using a 960 EVO. On NX I am using a 970 EVO Plus. (No pro). I believe the Plus has a different controller, but I think the only difference between the 960 and 960 pro is the amount of SLC nand. I am not sure about the 970 Evo plus vs 970 Pro. They may have different controllers. I have no Pro to test with currently since they’re nearly twice the price and I don’t need the sustained writes.

Again I am not clear, you said “I use a 960 EVO on my AGX. It works for me on the stock kernel” did you mean it is working on some other host, not one nvidia ?

The last lspci output you have shared is from AGX ? It is showing nvme card detected on C0 controller.

@omp
I mean the default kernel provided by Nvidia (not mainline). Sorry if I wasn’t clear. It works fine for me “out of the box”.

Yes, the paste is from AGX

@mdegans,
Thanks for confirmation.

I mean the default kernel provided by Nvidia (not mainline)

So you are trying to update just kernel. We would need more details what you are try to do. let’s close this thread and create new thread with details like what steps you are following to update kernel. What is the kernel version etc .

Indeed the 0000:00:00.0 bridge is missing on the AGX here:

Is the missing bridge on the carrier board or on the AGX itself? Tested also a Intel PCIe network card on the carrier board connector. No luck with that either, the card does not show up.

Summary of the situation:

Samsung 970 Pro 1TB SSD: Does not show up on lspci and lsblk listings, tried with stock kernel and patched kernel

Intel SSD 660p Series 512GB: Does not show up on lspci and lsblk listings, tried with stock kernel and patched kernel

Intel PCIe network card on carrier board PCIe slot: Does not show up on lspci, only internal network card is visible on dmesg output. Tested with stock kernel.

Anything else, I can try to solve this, apparently there is no POST messaging on the AGX?

no pcie controller is missing. if EP is not attached to respective controller it will not show in list.

to list all controller even EP is not attached you can remove “nvidia,enable-power-down” property from all pcie nodes from file

tried, now all controllers are listed, but still no NVMe

“lspci -v” reports “lspci: Unable to load libkmod resources: error -12” on one of the controllers, what can cause this?

no pcie controller is missing. if EP is not attached to respective controller it will not show in list.

Thx for correction! I was not aware of that.

  • Tested with all available JetPack versions from 4.2 to 4.4.
  • Tested with recommended patch, that lowers the num-lanes to 4 and nvidia,max-speed to 3.
  • Tested with two different NVMe SSD:s (Samsung, Intel)

None of the above works. Was able to test with an external mSATA PCIe card and could verify, that it works, can see the disks on the card.

Is there still something I could try?

Hi I have the same issue now with AGX Xavier 32 devkit and Micron 7300 PRO 960 GB NVMe Gen3 x4 SSD.
SSD is not recognized. lspci gives output identic to one from joel.polso (no SSD listed). JetPack Version is 4.5.1.
Was you able to find out the root cause of the issue?
Thanks

Hi jukka.tainio and igor.khazatsky,
