I noticed that when I enter
sudo nvidia-ctk cdi generate --output=/etc/cdi/nvidia.yaml --mode=csv
and then run
nvidia-ctk cdi list,
the terminal only shows
nvidia.com/gpu=all and nvidia.com/gpu=0,
but nvidia.com/gpu=tegra is missing.
After I manually added tegra to /etc/cdi/nvidia.yaml and regenerated the file, the container failed with:
failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: could not apply required modification to OCI specification: error modifying OCI spec: failed to inject CDI devices: unresolvable CDI devices nvidia.com/gpu=tegra: unknown
This error disappeared once I resolved the issue, but why does nvidia-ctk cdi list (version 6.2.1) fail to generate nvidia.com/gpu=tegra automatically?

The issue you’re experiencing with the Jetson Orin Nano series, specifically with version 621, failing to generate automatically and requiring manual addition of certain components to the flash.sh script, suggests a potential discrepancy in the configuration or setup process for this particular version.
Comparing the provided information, it’s clear that the Jetson Orin Nano series, like other Jetson platforms, relies on various scripts and tools for setup and configuration, such as flash.sh, l4t_generate_soc_bup.sh, and others. These tools are crucial for tasks like flashing the device, generating payloads, and setting up the environment for AI computing and other applications.
The error you encountered, which was resolved by manually adding components to the flash.sh script and regenerating the file, indicates a possible omission or oversight in the automated generation process specific to version 621. This could be due to several reasons:
-
Version-Specific Configuration: Different versions of the Jetson Orin Nano series might have unique configuration requirements. It’s possible that version 621 has specific needs that are not being met by the standard automated process, leading to the omission of critical components.
-
Script or Tool Updates: The scripts and tools used for setup and configuration, such as flash.sh and l4t_generate_soc_bup.sh, might not have been updated to accommodate the specific requirements of version 621. This could result in the automated process failing to include necessary components.
-
Dependency Issues: The generation process might depend on other components or files being present or configured in a certain way. If these dependencies are not correctly set up for version 621, it could lead to the observed issue.
-
Documentation or Guidance: There might be a lack of clear documentation or guidance on setting up version 621, leading to confusion or oversight in the configuration process.
To resolve this issue, it would be beneficial to:
-
Consult Specific Documentation: Look for version 621-specific documentation or release notes that might address unique setup or configuration requirements.
-
Update Scripts and Tools: Ensure that all scripts and tools, such as flash.sh and l4t_generate_soc_bup.sh, are updated to the latest versions that support version 621.
-
Verify Dependencies: Double-check that all dependencies required for the setup process are correctly configured and present.
-
Community Forums: Reach out to NVIDIA’s developer forums or community support channels for Jetson devices, as others might have encountered and resolved similar issues with version 621.
By taking these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the underlying cause of the issue, ensuring a successful and automated setup process for your Jetson Orin Nano series, version 621.

What I mentioned above was raised by myself; I’m not sure whether JetPack 6.2.1 is the reason it fails to generate the CDI device nvidia.com/gpu=tegra.
