Prompt success,but The dtb are not flash to the development board.

Does your “/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf” have an “FDT” key/value pair entry? I’m not sure if this behaves the same on JP 5.x as it does on 4.x, but if it does, then boot will use that first when present and skip the DTB in the partition (it would instead use the “/boot” content).

i delet the “FDT ” key in the /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf .
the date on the log was update,but the dtb int the /boot unchange .

Could you copy your dtb file to “/boot”, and with the old FDT commented out or placed somewhere else as a backup, add your modified dtb file name to the FDT entry?

Screenshots are hard to use since they cannot be text searched. A serial console boot log would be quite useful since specific DTB file names could be searched for or examined throughout the entire boot (even prior to Linux loading).

i copy the dtb to the FDT location,and it work well.
how can i creat kernel_tegra194-p3668-0001-p3509-0000.dtb from tegra194-p3668-all-p3509-0000.dtb?

I do not know what the difference is between the two trees. Is it just a name difference? Or does it require some edit?

FYI, you could take a binary tree and convert it to human-readable device tree source code. Example (changes the original tegra194-p3668-all-p3509-0000.dtb to a “.dts” source file):
dtc -I dtb -O dts -o tegra194-p3668-all-p3509-0000.dts tegra194-p3668-all-p3509-0000.dtb

If you have edited the source .dts file, then you could convert it back to binary with a new name:
dtc -I dts -O dtb -o edited.dtb tegra194-p3668-all-p3509-0000.dts

The “-I” is the input format, the “-O” is the output format, the “-o” is the output file name, and the final argument is just the file to look at.

you are right ，Is it just a name difference。
thanks for you help。
