Result of /etc/nv_boot_control.conf on the jetson agx xavier board:

Unfortunately we have already sold products, so questions are:

  1. Where does nv_bootloader_payload_updater read 2 TN Spec?
  2. Is there any way to force a TN Sepc?
  3. Is there any way to bypass this check?
    Thanks.

Hi hehe.huang,

Are you using the devkit or custom board for AGX Xavier?

What’s you BASE_BSP and TARGET_BSP in OTA update?

Have you referred to the following instruction for image-based OTA update?
NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide : Over-the-Air Update | NVIDIA Docs

  1. I am using customer boaard, while does changed build commands
  2. BASE_BSP and TARGET_BSP are the same, set to ~/build/Linux_for_Tegra
  3. Yes, I tried exact same instatructions from “Steps Performed on the Host Machine” step 12 and 13. It reported that TN SPEC does not match. I guess that might have something to do with enviroment variables, so added those “sudo BOARDID=2888 BOARDSKU=0004 FAB=401 BOARDREV=B.0 FUSELEVEL=fuselevel_production” in commands

We found there’s a known issue about AGX Xavier SKU4(32GB), and it should be fixed in the latest release (R32.7.4). Please verify image-based OTA for your board with latest R32.7.4.

Hello,
Could you share me the direct fix?
We have already built products based on 32.7.2. To using 32.7.4 means to apply all the works on 32.7.2 again.
Thanks.

May I know what’s the use case of you to update from R32.7.2 to R32.7.2 (the same version)?

Do you want to trigger the image-based OTA for rootfs or bootloader or both?

We added a background program to control the system, e.g., shutdown, heartbeat and so.
Unfortunately there is bug in that program, and currently the only way to update that program is whole system OTA…

btw, we ran OTA on 32.7.2 successfully before, with following patch

A quick way may be to hack nv_bootloader_payload_updater, force it ignoring the TN spec check.
Could we do that? Thanks.

It seems you are just need to update the rootfs with image-based OTA.
You could just add -r parameter during generating OTA payload, which would skip BUP update and you would not hit TN spec issue.

Thanks @KevinFFF , that is really a good suggestion. :)

However, still want a way to update BUP… Some days later we may have to pick up security patches for kernel, at that time we may face similar problem again.

If you are going to update BUP in the future from R32.7.2 to R32.7.4. You would not hit this issue because the TN Spec issue for AGX Xavier SKU4 has been fixed in the R32.7.4.

Hello,

Find something interesting: we tried the same OTA image on an old jetson module purchased last year, it works. But on new modules purchased recently, it fails. However, the /etc/nv_boot_control.conf (TNSPEC) file on both modules are the same.

Hello Kevin,

Checked with our management team: we have run our products based on 32.7.2 for more than half an year, now it is time to deliver to customer. It is too dangerous to update the baseline at such a critical phase, and we may not have time to run enough test again.

Sorry to say that I may still ask for help to show the exact fix, we may have to pick up it directly.

You would not hit the issue if you are going to update it from R32.7.2 to latest R32.7.4.

Does the image-based OTA for rootfs only (with -r parameter) work in your current use case?
