We use a Xavier NX 8GB production module with a custom board and want to flash to ssd and to boot directly from the ssd. To make things easier in this request I only use the defaults for the dev kit not special dtb, cfg etc. for our custom board. We’ve tested this with L4T 34.1.1.
When we use initrd_flash with following command and WITHOUT compiling the kernel (all to default for DevKit) everthing works as expected.
sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device nvme0n1p1 -c ./tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_external.xml --showlogs jetson-xavier-nx-devkit-emmc nvme0n1p1
But now to the problem: When we compile the linux kernel (even with all in default) and copy all files as described in developer guide the same procedure fails.
This is the error we get:
With serial console (uart) from Xavier NX we get this:

What could be the problem here? Is it because RCM carveout size is to small, but why? And how to increase this?
As we have found the “blob_boot0.img” has increased in size from 55031808 bytes to 61487104 bytes (marked in red). I don’t know why!? Maybe this could be a problem. So the questions here is why this size has increased (Kernel ‘Image’ files are almost same in size, what else is included in blob_boot0.img?). If this is okay , how could we handle with that.
This is the log at this point from flashing without compiling before:
Attached you find the complete logs for flashing with and without compiling kernel.
Thank you for any help in advance.
