Hi All

We observed the strange behavior at the Drive Orin Dev Kit.
Could you tell me below my questions?

■Questions

  1. Do you know same behavior?
  2. How do you think we can solve this issue?

■Issue details

  1. After we did the flashing the Drive OS 6.0.4 from 6.0.6, we checked the AURIX version and Drive OS version.
    ※Those version are observed at the Drive OS 6.0.6 runnning config, too.

In other word, it doesn’t disply the correct version of Drive OS and AURIX F/W info.

  1. And I checked the storage volume as below at the above #1 config.
    The default volume that we can use is only 27GB of “vblkdev0”
    So we need to mount the other volumes.(For example, vblkdev3)
    I can’t judge this storage volume config is expected by NVIDIA or not.

■Supplement info
I attache the log file when we did the flashing the Drive OS 6.0.4 using the SDK Manager from Host PC.

May I know why you attempted to downgrade to DRIVE OS 6.0.4? It is always recommended to use the latest release.

Hi VickNV-san

Yes, I know your recommendation well.
However we observed following issue at latest 6.0.6, so I restored previous versions of 6.0.4.

By some chance if you have any simillar eratta at Drive OS 6.0.4, could you tell me?

I would recommend you focus on resolving the DRIVE OS 6.0.6 issue.
However, for this, please refer to Requirements for Your Development Environment | NVIDIA Docs and check the note #3 there.

Thanks for update.

Noted. I checked this URL matrix.
However I have a few questions.

  1. NVIDIA only support following downgrade process,right?
    ・DRIVE OS 6.0.6.0 Linux => DRIVE OS 6.0.5.0 Linux
    ・DRIVE OS 6.0.5.0 Linux => DRIVE OS 6.0.4.0 Linux

  2. NVIDIA doesn’t support following downgrade process,right?
    ・DRIVE OS 6.0.6.0 Linux => DRIVE OS 6.0.4.0 Linux

  3. If we downgrade following OS version, is it possible to happen below our observed issue?
    ・DRIVE OS 6.0.6.0 Linux => DRIVE OS 6.0.4.0 Linux
    ※At the flashing process, we checked the box to “Force wipe of user logins…” in the SDK Manager flashing dialog.

Please refer to Flashing AFW from Orin Using Force Update and execute the ‘sudo /bin/bash /etc/systemd/scripts/nv_aurix_check_fw.sh -force_update DRIVE-V6.0.4-P3710-AFW-Aurix-StepB-5.05.03.hex’ command for twice on your tegra console to update to the aurix firmware compatible with 6.0.4.

6.0.6 aurix firmware is compatible with DRIVE OS 6.0.4 so you don’t really need to manually flash aurix firmware to 6.0.4 version.

VickNV-san

I am confusing by below your feedback.

6.0.6 aurix firmware is compatible with DRIVE OS 6.0.4 so you don’t really need to manually flash aurix firmware to 6.0.4 version.

Because I can’t judge we need to below command at Drive Orin terminal.

sudo /bin/bash /etc/systemd/scripts/nv_aurix_check_fw.sh -force_update DRIVE-V6.0.4-P3710-AFW-Aurix-StepB-5.05.03.hex

And could you answer to me followng my questions?

  1. NVIDIA only support following downgrade process,right?
    ・DRIVE OS 6.0.6.0 Linux => DRIVE OS 6.0.5.0 Linux
    ・DRIVE OS 6.0.5.0 Linux => DRIVE OS 6.0.4.0 Linux
  2. NVIDIA doesn’t support following downgrade process,right?
    ・DRIVE OS 6.0.6.0 Linux => DRIVE OS 6.0.4.0 Linux
  3. If we downgrade following OS version, is it possible to happen below our observed issue?
    ・DRIVE OS 6.0.6.0 Linux => DRIVE OS 6.0.4.0 Linux
    ※At the flashing process, we checked the box to “Force wipe of user logins…” in the SDK Manager flashing dialog.

just ignore it. you don’t need to do it.

Yes

Yes, just need to follow note #3.

Yes, normal. The aurix firmware compatible with 6.0.6 is also compatible with 6.0.4 so you don’t need to run ‘nv_aurix_check_fw.sh’ to reflash it.

VickNV-san

Thanks for update.
Noted, I could understand.

As per my understanding, following command is for update the AURIX F/W from 5.7.6.0 to 5.05.03.

sudo /bin/bash /etc/systemd/scripts/nv_aurix_check_fw.sh -force_update DRIVE-V6.0.4-P3710-AFW-Aurix-StepB-5.05.03.hex

I would like to know just in case as belows.
If I want to update the AURIX F/W from 5.05.03 to 5.7.6.0, which command should we use?

BR,
A.Hirano

Please refer to this document. Thanks.

VickNV-san

Thanks for update.
Note, I have no futher questions.
So let we close this case.

I really appreciate your help in resolving our issue.
