Hi,

we tried flashing our Orin-Devkit with the following command:

`sudo ./flash.sh jetson-agx-orin-devkit-as-jao-32gb internal`

but when checking e.g. with `tegrastats`, we see that 12 cores are active (which should be only 8 in the emulation mode):

```auto
$ tegrastats

```

also other tools, like jtop are showing 12 active cores.

`/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf` shows the correct configuration though:

```auto
TIMEOUT 30
DEFAULT primary
MENU TITLE L4T boot options
LABEL primary
      MENU LABEL primary kernel
      LINUX /boot/Image

```

also, `/etc/nv_boot_control.conf` shows, that the emulation mode should be active:

```auto
$ cat /etc/nv_boot_control.conf
TNSPEC 3701-500-0000-J.0-1-1-jetson-agx-orin-devkit-as-jao-32gb-

TEGRA_BOOT_STORAGE mmcblk0
TEGRA_CHIPID 0x23
TEGRA_OTA_BOOT_DEVICE /dev/mtdblock0
TEGRA_OTA_GPT_DEVICE /dev/mtdblock0`

```

Do you have any advice what the problem might be here? We need to configure the Orin-devkit to have the same hardware capabilities as the 32GB Module (regarding GPU and CPU).

We used the Orin devkit in the past with Jetpack 5 for example, to build engines and deployed them successfully on the 32GB module, and we would like to do this with Jetpack 6.0 as well.

Thanks for the quick response.

I think there was a misunderstanding of my post above, let me try to clarify:

- We have a Jetson Orin DevKit .
- We want to use it to emulate a Jetson AGX Orin module 32GB, so we flashed it with Jetpack 6.0 following [Emulation Flash Configurations — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide 1 documentation](https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/archives/r36.3/DeveloperGuide/SD/EmulationSupport.html?#emulation-flash-configurations) with the `jetson-agx-orin-devkit-as-jao-32gb` parameter (see my post above)
- This did not seem to work the same way as it did with Jetpack 5.0; after flashing with above command, we see that the DevKit still has 12 CPU cores active instead of 8 as before.

So, we basically want to emulate the 32GB variant with our DevKit using Jetpack6.0.

Are we missing a step? Or does it work differently now?

Do you mean that you have only AGX Orin 64GB module but you want to know the status for AGX Orin 32GB so that you are using jetson-agx-orin-devkit-as-jao-32gb board config?

> [@user84666](#):

Have you also tried to configure them in nvpmodel configuration(_/etc/nvpmodel.conf_)?  
Please share the result of `# nvpmodel -q --verbose` on your board.

Sorry, I was mistaken on the hardware model we have (I’ll edit it in my posts above as well). We have an older **AGX Orin DevKit** , which in fact has only 32GB.

We want to use that to emulate a Jetson AGX Orin 32GB **module** , as described in [Emulation Flash Configurations — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide 1 documentation](https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/archives/r36.3/DeveloperGuide/SD/EmulationSupport.html?#emulation-flash-configurations).

Here the output of `nvpmodel -q --verbose`. This is after we flashed it with `sudo ./flash.sh jetson-agx-orin-devkit-as-jao-32gb internal` as per the documentation linked in my previous paragraph:

```

There are indeed only 8 cores listed, however `jtop`, `tegrastats` (see my post above) `htop` report 12 active cores.

Does this mean the emulation mode is already active? Or is some additional step needed?  
When we did the emulation flashing with JetPack 5, it showed us only 8 cores in `jtop`, without having to reconfigure the `nvpmodel` config.

Are we the only ones that have a problem with the emulation mode on Jetpack6?  
It seems like a pretty important feature to have for the DevKits.

Sorry that I’m not clear about this.  
If your AGX Orin devkit has AGX Orin 32GB module, why you want to use `jetson-agx-orin-devkit-as-jao-32gb` as board config.

Please share the result of `cat /etc/nv_boot_control.conf` for further check.

Not too many users do this and we don’t receive similar issue like it so that we would like to also verify it locally.

Hi,

Actually the emulation config is seldom in use as all the modules are released already.

We will check this on our side.

It seems we are not able to reproduce this issue on our side with “jetson-agx-orin-devkit-as-jao-32gb”.

Hi @KevinFFF, hi @WayneWWW,

thanks for the replies! The AGX Orin devkit with 32 GB memory has the same hardware capabilities (despite of the memory) as the 64GB module. The AGX Orin devkit has e.g., 12 CPU cores (instead of 8), 2048 tensor cores (instead of 1792), higher GPU frequencies, and so on. See [NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/autonomous-machines/embedded-systems/jetson-orin/)

We want to have the same hardware emulated as we are building into our robots. We use the devkit for instance to evaluate the performance of our models in simulation. If the DevKit is faster than the modules on the robots, we might get better results as we will have in reality afterwards. That is why is is so important to us to have the same hardware capabilities emulated on the devkit.

Regarding the results of `cat /etc/nv_boot_control.conf`: I already shared them in the initial post, here once again the results:

```auto
$ cat /etc/nv_boot_control.conf
TNSPEC 3701-500-0000-J.0-1-1-jetson-agx-orin-devkit-as-jao-32gb-

It seems to be at least successfully added to `/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf`:  
(here, I added the .txt appendix to the file, because I was not allowed to upload a .conf file, but the file ist the original `/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf` and shows the `nr_cpus=8`)  
[extlinux.conf.txt](https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/uploads/short-url/vW1xdNlKMqqFlvqIjK96K7t3m6v.txt) (985 Bytes)

Any idea what the issue might be?

One question. Are you sure your board is booting from eMMC but not other boot medium?

Yes, we are. We also did the same tests without NVMe.

Just to clarify the situation. Are you talking about you saw the nr\_cpus is listed in your extlinux.conf but the dmesg still does not show it?
