I have a jetson orin nano dev kit with jetpack 6.1. I used “apt install nvidia-jetpack” to upgrade it to jetpack 6.2. After that I found that apt upgrade won’t enable super mode. Then I switched to a new 6.2 sd card image. However, I cannot enable super mode even in the latest 6.2 sd card image. My firmware has been updated to 36.4.3
After I upgraded to JetPack 6.2 from JetPack 6.1, the super power mode wasn’t enabled. The bootloader remove-install did not work.
I managed to enable by going to /etc/nvpmodel and inspecting the files. I found nvpmodel_p3767_0000_super.conf. I then replaced /etc/nvpmodel.conf by this file and rebooted the jetson orin nx 16gb I have.
Thank you @EduardoSalazar96, one more thing please, I have Orin nano 4gb and it doesn’t have sd card slot, how do you think this hw is ok for super mode?
Thank you @EduardoSalazar96 for being able to take your time to look into the matter in more detail. As far as I understand thanks to your information and some other information, NVIDIA does’t provide an easy option to use super mode for commercial modules (maybe it can affect stability in a prod environment due to overclocking and since it is an official feature there may be reputation costs that cannot be accepted). For this reason we have to look for workarounds for commercial modules. Here is more information (may be useful for a people who faced the same problem as me) JetPack 6.2 Brings Super Mode to NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano and Jetson Orin NX Modules
Just for information. Simple copy of nvpmodel_…_super.conf is not enough, super mode presents in config but in fact will not work, only after manual flashing with super conf the super mode will works as expected (active super mode shows twice freq on gpu in jtop)
@vts86, by “manual flashing” you mean that the apt upgrade does not work, right? I wonder if there is an alternative to avoid having to manually install from scratch the OS and everything.
I meant my case, when jetson orin nano is flashed in normal mode without super conf selected (for example for my hw and as I understand for all commercial variants of jetson nano that are not devkit) it is impossible to specify super flash mode through sdkmanager. If you flash in normal mode (not super), then simply try to copy cp /etc/nvpmodel/nvpmodel_p3767_0004_super.conf /etc/nvpmodel.conf in fact nothing will change. If you do simple copy on normal flashed hw (not super) visually you’ll see and can enable in the GUI and in jtop 25w and MAXN modes, but in fact super mode will not work. And in almost every nvidia documentation I saw, to get super mode you must use super conf in flashing stage only (I think some kernel modifications needs to be enabled too for super mode like overclocking)
