=> Are you talking about taking pictures with an oscilloscope?

Thank you.

Looks like the those pin enable as GPIO pin.
Did you using r32.6.1? This version should have problem or didn’t you add those pin under the gpio@6000d000? Remove the TEGRA_GPIO B an B to try

	gpio: gpio@6000d000 {
		gpio-init-names = "default";
		gpio-init-0 = <&gpio_default>;

		gpio_default: default {
			gpio-input = <
				TEGRA_GPIO(BB, 0)
				TEGRA_GPIO(B, 4)
				TEGRA_GPIO(B, 5)
				TEGRA_GPIO(B, 6)
				TEGRA_GPIO(B, 7)
				TEGRA_GPIO(DD, 0)
				TEGRA_GPIO(E, 6)
				TEGRA_GPIO(S, 5)
...
...				TEGRA_GPIO(C, 0)
				TEGRA_GPIO(C, 1)
				TEGRA_GPIO(C, 2)
				TEGRA_GPIO(C, 3)
				TEGRA_GPIO(C, 4)

Please apply the patch from below link for this version.

Hello, @ShaneCCC

Rather than providing a patched dtb file, do I need to read the above article and modify dts to build dtb and then apply it?
Do other Jetpack versions need patches?

Thank you.

The key point is remove those TEGRA_GPIO(BB, *) and TEGRA_GPIO(C, *) in your device tree.

Is it something wrong with my work?

Hello, @ShaneCCC

I have used R32.7.1.

I can’t find TEGRA_GPIO B an B.

Where can I find this?
extracted_proc_emmc_new.dts (321.5 KB)

Thank you.

The “nvidia,enable-input” and “nvidia,tristate” should be like below for all spi1_xxx pins
You need find the TEGRA_GPIO(B, *) in kernel source instead of device tree dump.

                        spi1_mosi_pc0 {
                                nvidia,enable-input = <0x1>;
                                nvidia,pins = "spi1_mosi_pc0";
                                nvidia,tristate = <0x0>;
                                nvidia,function = "spi1";
                                nvidia,pull = <0x1>;
                        };

Hello, @ShaneCCC

  1. Shouldn’t dtb compiled with dtc be applied using dts created from /proc/device-tree? Is this the wrong way?

  2. Check the /boot directory in jp4.6.1 (l4t R32.7.1)
    kernel_tegra210-p3448-0002-p3449-0000-b00.dtb
    tegra210-p3448-0002-p3449-0000-b00.dtb

There are two, which of the two applies? Please confirm.

Thank you.

Use the dts source codes to check what ShaneCCC is asking.

Otherwise it is just hex value which is not human readable.

Hello, @ShaneCCC

Thank you for your support.

Should I change not only 1 but also 2 or 3?
The kernel source contains nvidia, enable-input = <TEGRA_PIN_DISABLE>
is set to 0.

Thank you.

Yes, need modify like below.

				nvidia,pins = "spi1_mosi_pc0";
79 					nvidia,function = "spi1";
80 					nvidia,pin-label = "spi1_dout";
81 					nvidia,pull = <TEGRA_PIN_PULL_DOWN>;
82 					nvidia,tristate = <TEGRA_PIN_DISABLE>;
83 					nvidia,enable-input = <TEGRA_PIN_ENABLE>;

Hello, @ShaneCCC

Do I need to add a pin label?

Thank you.

Thanks for the explain from @WayneWWW
If able know the hex value you can use dtc instead of touch the source.
