Jetson Nano doesnot boot while using debug port as UART

Robotics & Edge Computing Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson Nano

Hi team,
We are using Jetson Nano Production Module in which we have utilized debug port i.e. ttyS0 as UART with baudrate of 38400.
We have modified /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file to disable debug port.

We have a peripheral which is based on 38400 baudrate. If we change the baudrate of peripheral at 9600, it will work fine. But at 38400 baudrate Jetson will not boot up.
If Jetson boots up first and then the peripheral is connected, then the setup works fine, but when Jetson and peripheral both are powered on at same time, Jetson Nano will not boot up.

Please suggest some solution for disabling the debug port appropriately or a way to boot jetson nano while the peripheral is connected.

hello vivek_rawal,

please follow below steps.

  1. Remove “earlyprintk=uart8250-32bit,0x70006000” from kernel cmdline
  2. Change ODMDATA to 0x14000
  3. Remove console=ttyS0 in kernel cmdline.

# When testing a custom kernel, it is recommended that you create a backup of
# the original kernel and add a new entry to this file so that the device can
# fallback to the original kernel. To do this:
#
# 1, Make a backup of the original kernel
#      sudo cp /boot/Image /boot/Image.backup
#
# 2, Copy your custom kernel into /boot/Image
#
# 3, Uncomment below menu setting lines for the original kernel
#
# 4, Reboot

# LABEL backup
#    MENU LABEL backup kernel
#    LINUX /boot/Image.backup
#    INITRD /boot/initrd
#    APPEND ${cbootargs}

I have removed “earlyprintk=uart8250-32bit,0x70006000” and console=ttyS0 from the /boot/extlinux/extlinux file but still the issue is same.
I have shared the file, can you please suggest the modifications in that file

hello vivek_rawal,

had you change ODMDATA to 0x14000 and re-flash the target?

hi JerryChang,
Can you please provide guide to change ODMDATA

I’m moving this topic to correct platform category → Jetson Nano.

hello vivek_rawal,

there’s ODMDATA definition, as you can see in board configuration file, i.e. p3448-0000.conf.common
