Hi Jetson Developers,
I’m excited to share that I’ve successfully compiled kernel 6.12.0 with JetPack 6.2 on Nvidia Jetson AGX Orin, achieving minimal boot along with CPU and GPU functionality.
Currently, Jetpack 6.2 does not support Linux 6.12, and the patch still contains a lot of bugs.
Please reference this document for experiments only!
This effort was primarily to test the sched_ext scheduler on Jetson devices, but it opens up possibilities for a variety of experiments, potentially advancing system performance and workload optimization.
The guide and patch are lengthy, so I’m attaching a link to the gist.

✅ Working
• Booting
• Serial Port (USB Micro-B)
• CPU full load testing
• GPU full load testing with CUDA
• sched_ext/scx (SCHED_CLASS_EXT) functionality confirmed
❌ Not Working / Limitations
• Display
• Kernel panics occur occasionally when using the network (likely related to drivers or DMA issues)
• Many warnings and errors in dmesg (e.g., I2C, memory mapping, drivers, etc.)
• Additional issues may remain unverified
