Can't create New Partition NVIDIA AGX Orin

Autonomous Vehicles DRIVE AGX Orin DRIVE AGX Orin General

DRIVE OS Version: Provide DRIVE OS version. 6.0.8.1

Issue Description: We want to create a new partition that is visible in the Linux user space. I am updating below configuration file from the SDK files in the docker container:

/drive/drive-foundation/platform-config/hardware/nvidia/platform/t23x/automotive/pct/drive_av/linux/global_storage.cfg

For test, I just modified the DEMO_PARTITION 10 G into 5G + 5G two partitions.

Able to bind partitions and flash the image successfully. But, Orin doesn’t boot after flashing.

Error reported on minicom /dev/ttyACM0:

IVM 64 has multiple associated vblk devices
VSC configuration parsing failed

Upon reverting change partition change, Orin is booting normally.

Updated global_storage.cfg:

#ifdef ENABLE_DEMO_PARTITION
/*
[partition]
name=gos0-demo-ufs
allocation_policy=sequential
size=0x280000000
partition_attribute=<GID_GUEST0_VM+1>
virtual_storage_ivc_ch=0x801640F8
ufs_stream_id=TEGRA_SID_NISO0_UFS_14
*/
/* — First Half (5GB) — */
[partition]
name=gos0-demo-ufs-part1
allocation_policy=sequential
size=0x140000000
partition_attribute=<GID_GUEST0_VM+1>
virtual_storage_ivc_ch=0x801640F8
ufs_stream_id=TEGRA_SID_NISO0_UFS_14

/* — Second Half (5GB) — */
[partition]
name=gos0-demo-ufs-part2
allocation_policy=sequential
size=0x140000000
partition_attribute=<GID_GUEST0_VM+1>
virtual_storage_ivc_ch=0x801640F9
ufs_stream_id=TEGRA_SID_NISO0_UFS_14

endif

There is already a similar ticket which still pending on NVIDIA forum. This ticket is like a follow to it. Please provide your inputs to support creating a new partition.

Also, please let me know how to this partitioning on NVIDIA AGX Thor Target.

Dear @dasari.sampath ,
modifying the partition is outside the forum support scope. May I know why you are looking to add new partition? Creating a new folder does not help your use case?

Hi Siva,

I am looking for this capability to store project specific in a dedicated partition. Please direct me to get more information to achieve this creating a new partition on both Orin & Thor.

I was suggesting to /dev/vblkdev2 partition to store information. It does not help your case?
