Based on the provided context, I will provide a comprehensive answer to the question.
The Jetson AGX Orin module supports PCIe Endpoint mode, which allows it to act as a peripheral device connected to a host system via a PCIe interface. However, there are some known limitations and required settings that need to be considered when using the AGX Orin as a PCIe Endpoint with a non-NVIDIA host AP.
Firstly, the AGX Orin module requires a specific configuration to operate in PCIe Endpoint mode. The module’s UPHY blocks need to be programmed to assign the correct lanes for PCIe operation. Table 7-3 in the Jetson Orin NX Series and Jetson Orin Nano Series Product Design Guide provides the supported UPHY mapping options for USB 3.2 and PCIe. The correct configuration needs to be selected and programmed into the module.
Secondly, the AGX Orin module’s PCIe controller needs to be configured to operate in Endpoint mode. The PCIe controller on the AGX Orin module supports dual mode, which means it can be configured as either a Root Port or an Endpoint. The controller needs to be configured to operate in Endpoint mode, and the correct settings need to be applied to the controller.
Thirdly, the non-NVIDIA host AP’s PCIe DEMUX needs to be configured to select the AGX Orin module as the peripheral device. The DEMUX needs to be programmed to select the correct lanes for the AGX Orin module, and the correct settings need to be applied to the DEMUX.
In terms of common pitfalls, one common issue is that the AGX Orin module’s PCIe controller may not be properly configured to operate in Endpoint mode. Another common issue is that the non-NVIDIA host AP’s PCIe DEMUX may not be properly configured to select the AGX Orin module as the peripheral device.
To troubleshoot the issue, I would recommend checking the following:
- Verify that the AGX Orin module’s UPHY blocks are properly programmed to assign the correct lanes for PCIe operation.
- Verify that the AGX Orin module’s PCIe controller is properly configured to operate in Endpoint mode.
- Verify that the non-NVIDIA host AP’s PCIe DEMUX is properly configured to select the AGX Orin module as the peripheral device.
- Check the schematics and configuration files to ensure that they are correct and match the requirements of the AGX Orin module and the non-NVIDIA host AP.
In comparison to other Jetson modules, the AGX Orin module has a similar PCIe Endpoint mode configuration requirement. However, the specific configuration settings and requirements may vary depending on the module and the host system.
For example, the Jetson Xavier NX series has a similar PCIe Endpoint mode configuration requirement, but the specific settings and requirements may vary depending on the module and the host system. The Jetson Xavier NX series has two PCIe controllers, C4 and C5, which support dual mode and can be configured as either Root Ports or Endpoints. The correct configuration settings need to be applied to the controllers to operate in Endpoint mode.
In summary, the AGX Orin module’s PCIe Endpoint mode configuration requires specific settings and configurations to be applied to the module’s UPHY blocks and PCIe controller. The non-NVIDIA host AP’s PCIe DEMUX also needs to be properly configured to select the AGX Orin module as the peripheral device. Common pitfalls include incorrect configuration of the AGX Orin module’s PCIe controller and the non-NVIDIA host AP’s PCIe DEMUX.
