Hello,
I need some assistance on how to get a FE-PI AUDIO Z V1.1 (the one with the red PCB) working with my Jetson Nano. I followed the instructions described here https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/l4t/index.html#page/Tegra%2520Linux%2520Driver%2520Package%2520Development%2520Guide%2Fhw_setup_jetson_io.html%23 and I configured the device tree using fe-pi-audio-z-v2.dtb.
Unfortunatelly the above approach will not enable the audio card.
Thanks for any help!
Hi cwasilei,
Please check the Audio Troubleshooting doc to see if can help:

Thanks for your quick response kayccc!
There are no trace messages since
cwasilei@nano:~$ dmesg | grep "ASoC"
returns nothing.
Maybe you have any other suggestions? I tried the following:
cwasilei@nano:~$ dmesg | grep "audio"

Hello!
Yes the FE-PI Audio Z V1 and V2 appear to be compatibile and so what you are trying should work.
On boot you should see the sgtl5000 registered …
$ dmesg | grep sgtl5000
And if configured correctly then the dai-link name for the should be the fe-pi name …
$ cat /proc/device-tree/sound/nvidia,dai-link-1/link-name
How are you testing audio playback? Currently, we only support the headphone jack and executing the following should be a tone …
$ alsactl init tegrasndt210ref
$ speaker-test -D hw:tegrasndt210ref,0 -c 2 -r 48000 -F S16_LE -t sine -f 500
Regards,
Jon
Hi Jon and thanks for your reply!
It turns out sgtl5000 doesnt get registered at boot time
cwasilei@nano:~$ dmesg | grep sgtl50000
cwasilei@nano:~$
I think FE-PI Audio is configured ok since
cwasilei@nano:~$ cat /proc/device-tree/sound/nvidia,dai-link-1/link-name
fe-pi-audio-z-v2
These are the steps I followed:
sudo /opt/nvidia/jetson-io/jetson-io.py
“configure for compatible hardware” >> “FE-PI Audio Z V2” >> “exit”

My Jetson Nano is a b00 platform device and I only see the *.dtb file (tegra210-p3448-0000-p3449-0000-b00-fe-pi-audio-z-v2.dtb) but no corresponding *.dtbo file. Is this an issue?
I didn’t test playback yet since aplay -l doesnt list the FE-PI audiocard and I cant select it.
alsamixer
shows a device called tegra-snd-t210-ref-mobile-rt565x. Is this the FE-PI Z Audio?
Thanks again for your efforts :)
Hello!
You have one too many 0s in the above should be ‘sgtl5000’. Can you attach the entire output from dmesg?
Yes that is expected. You will not see the FE-PI board under ‘aplay -l’ or ‘amixer’.
You can also check the following to see if the codec is listed …
$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/asoc/codecs
Regards,
Jon
Sorry for the typo. You are right. Now I get:
cwasilei@nano:~$ dmesg | grep sgtl5000

I’ve got a Fe-Pi Audio Z v2.2. It works fine on my RPi 4 but I’ve not been able to get it to work under JetPack 4.4 on my nano, which is what it was bought for.
I have run:
sudo /opt/nvidia/jetson-io/jetson-io.py
and it created a new dtb but even when I manually flashed the dtb it created, I still haven’t been able to get any sound out of my Audio Z.
$ dmesg | grep sgtl5000
Doesn’t return anything. aplay -l does list several tegrasndt210 devices and I’ve also tried running:
alsactl init tegrasndt210
but that hasn’t helped.
The speaker test command runs but I don’t hear any sound.
What version of JetPack are you running? Did you have to rebuild the kernel or do anything else to get yours to work?
I am presuming support should already be in the kernel. jetson-io gives me the impression its just a case of switching your dtb to one with the correct pin config.
The audio Z works as a standard ALSA soundcard under Raspbian so there’s no reason why that couldn’t be the case for the Nano too, with some work.
NVIDIA:
Do you plan to enable SPI by default in future Jetpack releases? Switching dtb files is simple on the RPi but its quite an involved process on the Nano.
If we can’t use the Audio Z as a regular ALSA device (like on the Rpi) yet, how do we adjust the volume?
Hi allcoms,
Please help to open a new topic for your issue. Thanks
