When I am using Xavier NX eMMC version to run the deepstream sample demo
I find out APE (audio processing engine) number is different when I am running the same model in Jetson stats. (also in Tegra and CLK documents)
The APE in one machine is 75Hmz while the other three are all 150 Mhz
I found a table that said Xavier NX is 150 Mhz on APE.
May I Know why it causes the difference between the two numbers in the same machine? Or is there a place or file I can do the setting on APE on myself?
H PeterYu,
Can you please confirm the JP version you are using Jetson NX?
I see that you are using JP4.4 Developer Preview image on the one showing 75MHz APE clock. Please check with latest JP4.4.1.
Thanks,
Sharad
Hi Sharadg
I have confirmed that
Both of the JP version are Jetapck 4.4 DP
Hi PeterYu,
There was a change done after (/during) JP4.4 DP release timeframe to increase the APE clock to 150MHz. Please use JP4.4.1. That should resolve the issue.
Thanks,
Sharad
Hi Sharadg
Do you mean in Jetpack 4.4 DP version,
The APE will appear 75MHz and 150 Mhz at the same time inappropriately?
I have 4 machines there, and 3 showing 150Mhz, and only 1 show 75Mhz.
I am sure that there are all Jetpack 4.4 DP version, I afraid it may not JP version issue that causes the difference
Could you please check “cat /sys/kernel/debug/bpmp/debug/clk/ape/max_rate” on these boards and paste outputs here?
Hi Sharadg
I got
75000000 (on the issue board)
and
150000000 respectivily (other 3)
Hi Peter,
We confirmed again at our end, max possible APE clock with JP4.4 DP release is 75MHz.
I assume that you are using Jetson NX devkit and not a custom HW. Assuming that,
75KHz is the right APE clock value if you are checking with JP4.4 DP release. Request you to move to JP 4.4.1 (latest release) if your usecase really needs 150MHz APE clock.
Thanks,
Sharad
Above section explains various power modes on Jetson Xavier boards. Please check if there is a power mode difference between these which is causing the issue.
Also please share “dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia” output on the board showing 150MHz APE clock?
Thanks,
Sharad
Hi Sharadg
I have compared the 75 MHz one and 150MHz
their packages are as same as below

This is very strange. Can you please dump output of below command on all boards and share here:
sudo /usr/sbin/nvpmodel -q
Last resort would be to move to latest JP 4.4.1.
Thanks,
Sharad
I was on a business trip. Sorry for the late reply,
The result ( both devices are the same)

There is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue any more.
Hence we are closing this topic. If need further support, please open a new one.
Thanks
We tried JP 4.4 DP image on multiple Jetson-Xavier NX boards, but still could not reproduce the issue. We need some additional details for further debugging.
