Jetson Xavier NX could not load new DTB. jetson-io.py does not work

[ypw]

Hi, everyone, I just got my Xavier NX.
I want to run RaspberryPi HQ Camera on Xavier NX.

I have edited /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf to load new DTB file, but dmesg shows old DTB build time, and IMX477 is not the default camera.

/opt/nvidia/jetson-io/jetson-io.py: Camera IMX477 Dual

/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf

TIMEOUT 30
DEFAULT JetsonIO

Thanks in advance for any help!

hello 915505626,

could you please share your steps to configure with Jetson-IO,
there should be *.dtbo generated, it’ll load that device tree while rebooting.

sudo /opt/nvidia/jetson-io/jetson-io.py

cat /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf

# When testing a custom kernel, it is recommended that you create a backup of

# 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

hello ypw,

there should be two boot options,
instead of using primary label, did you select JetsonIO from the boot-up menu for verification?

Problem solved.

My jetson is jetson-xavier-nx-devkit-emmc, must use this command to flash dtb:

sudo ./flash.sh -k kernel-dtb jetson-xavier-nx-devkit-emmc mmcblk0p1

Full script:

# Jetson
# Choose IMX477 to generate custom dtb file
sudo /opt/nvidia/jetson-io/jetson-io.py

# Host Machine
# Copy custom dtb file to SDK
scp 192.168.55.1:/boot/kernel_tegra194-p3668-all-p3509-0000-user-custom.dtb ~/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/JetPack_4.6_Linux_JETSON_XAVIER_NX_TARGETS/Linux_for_Tegra/kernel/dtb

# Flash dtb file
cd ~/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/JetPack_4.6_Linux_JETSON_XAVIER_NX_TARGETS/Linux_for_Tegra
sudo ./flash.sh -k kernel-dtb jetson-xavier-nx-devkit-emmc mmcblk0p1
