Kernel panic when creating custom rootfs

Robotics & Edge Computing Jetson Systems Jetson TX2
1

First off I would really like to see good instructions on creating a custom (production) rootfs. The link here: https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/l4t/index.html#page/Tegra%2520Linux%2520Driver%2520Package%2520Development%2520Guide%2Frootfs_custom.html%23 refers to rootstock which has been deprecated long ago.

I followed the general directions located here: Jetson Containers - Building Custom Root Filesystems | Code Pyre

Using a C02 Jetson TX2 dev board:

mkdir nvidia; cd nvidia
tar xf ~/Downloads/Tegra186_Linux_R32.4.3_aarch64.tbz2
cd Linux_for_Tegra
sudo tar -xpvf ~/Downloads/ubuntu-base-18.04.4-base-arm64.tar.gz -C ./rootfs
sudo ./apply_binaries.sh
(get errors due to missing package dependencies so
)
cd rootfs
sudo mount --bind /dev/ dev/
sudo mount --bind /sys/ sys/
sudo mount --bind /proc/ proc/
sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf etc/resolv.conf.host
sudo mv etc/resolv.conf etc/resolv.conf.saved
sudo mv etc/resolv.conf.host etc/resolv.conf
sudo LC_ALL=C LANG=C.UTF-8 chroot . /bin/bash
apt update
apt --fix-broken install
exit
sudo umount ./proc
sudo umount ./sys
sudo umount ./dev
sudo ./apply_binaries.sh
(succeeds after second fix broken install)
sudo ./flash.sh jetson-tx2 mmcblk0p1
(flashes ok and then restarts with following output)

Tx2i : custom rootfs causes kernel panic
3

hello cgreen,

FYI,
we had confirmation that L4T Sample Root File System from download center to set up the rootfs successfully.
could you please based-on the sample file system to have your own customization,
thanks

Hello Jerry,

I have previously used the L4T Sample Root File System successfully. However, the Nvidia documentation from this location states that “The sample root file system is provided as a convenience. NVIDIA disclaims any obligations to provide support, including bug fixes and security updates, and provides no warranty for this software. Customers are responsible for root file system selection and support.”

Starting from a sample root file system and figuring out what is unnecessary and can be removed is not standard practice in embedded Linux development. Standard practices generally either utilize a Buildroot/Yocto type build system (such as GitHub - OE4T/meta-tegra: BSP layer for NVIDIA Jetson platforms, based on L4T ) or start from a core image and add the necessary packages to the core. Other uC/uP vendors typically provide a “from scratch” build system framework (the other SOC that I’m evaluating from a competitor provides Yocto layers).

In order to “productionize” the TX2 I will need to implement a CI/CD system that can produce an image with precisely known content. Starting from a sample root file system and working backwards is not a suitable option.

Using the above mentioned Yocto meta-tegra layer does boot (see attached boot log) however I get errors for:

ERROR: reserving fdt memory region failed (addr=0 size=0)

Error, FB vsync ioctl [-1]

A 4.5 GB root file system (~15% of the available space on the eMMC) is very bloated. I would like to create a core/headless root file system around 1.5 GB in size.

I hope that Nvidia is committed to supporting developers to build systems for production in addition to a demo system.

I have not built a custom rootfs, but if I were, then I’d learn these two things before I actually went for my final solution:

  • Learn to boot anything simple from the existing kernel and boot software. Probably an initrd which does nothing more than run a bash shell.
  • If I had to build my own boot chain, then I’d try to make all modifications successfully using the existing sample rootfs.
  • Work on getting pivot_root to work with whichever boot chain and initrd you’ve started with, even if the pivot_root did nothing more than load another bash shell.
  • Examine what packages and files are installed from the driver package’s “apply_binaries.sh”.
  • Design surrounding linker and libraries around the content of apply_binaries.sh. NVIDIA-supplied binaries are not something you can simply give up unless you are willing to give up direct hardware acceleration.
  • Make specific adjustments such that the exact same release of Xorg (due to ABI requirements) is used as in the sample rootfs. This is a very special case since the NVIDIA GPU driver binary connects through the Xorg server (and not just the linker) for a large part of the software (especially OpenGL/ES accelerated software). Xorg has specifications for the ABI version of several loadable “subsystems”. If you go to “/var/log/Xorg.0.log” (or maybe “/var/log/Xorg.1.log”, depending on setup), and search for ABI, then you will see the ABI releases (the “Video Driver” is the one the GPU binary depends on), and it will look like this:
[    10.884] (II) Module ABI versions:
[    10.884]    X.Org ANSI C Emulation: 0.4
[    10.884]    X.Org Video Driver: 23.0
[    10.884]    X.Org XInput driver : 24.1
[    10.884]    X.Org Server Extension : 10.0
[    10.885] (++) using VT number 1

If you just stick to the existing kernel life will be much easier, and I have doubts all hardware acceleration would work correctly if you use a newer kernel. If you do not stick to the existing kernel, then you would certainly want to start with it anyway and perhaps backport newer features into it.

I tried using ubuntu-base-18.04-base-arm64.tar.gz which has revision d20 of the kernel (the same as the sample root file system) but had the same kernel panic error. I also tried several variations of commands (omitting mount/umount) with no luck.

Then I tried using qemu-debootstrap and got that to work (with the following error):

systemd-gpt-auto-generator[2148]: Failed to dissect: Input/output error
systemd[2142]: /lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-gpt-auto-generator failed with exit status 1.

At least I don’t get the kernel panic and adding a password for root (in the chroot environment before running flash.sh) allows me to login.

Next I’ll look at modifying apply_binaries.sh and/or nv_tegra/nv-apply-debs.sh to remove the installation of unwanted packages.

Here is the command sequence for those interested:

tar xf ~/Downloads/Tegra186_Linux_R32.4.3_aarch64.tbz2
cd Linux_for_Tegra/
sudo qemu-debootstrap --arch arm64 bionic ./rootfs
cd rootfs/
sudo cp ~/Downloads/extracted_sample_rootfs/etc/apt/sources.list etc/apt/
sudo LC_ALL=C LANG=C.UTF-8 chroot . /bin/bash
apt update
exit
cd 
/
sudo ./apply_binaries.sh
cd rootfs/
sudo LC_ALL=C LANG=C.UTF-8 chroot . /bin/bash
apt --fix-broken install
exit
cd 
/
sudo ./apply_binaries.sh
cd rootfs/
sudo LC_ALL=C LANG=C.UTF-8 chroot . /bin/bash
apt --fix-broken install
exit
cd 
/
sudo ./apply_binaries.sh
sudo ./flash.sh jetson-tx2 mmcblk0p1

I do not know if your commands are correct or not (I’ll emphasize that I am not trying this on an actual Jetson), but I do see apply_binaries.sh twice (I don’t know if that is a typo or intentional).

Do you have evidence of an initrd being called (or not being called)? If an initrd is called, does it have your modifications/kernel? Do you have evidence that the correct device tree is being loaded? Either of those would be mandatory to confirm as correct for your case before you could move forward on a custom rootfs.

I have same issue on nano ,
Do you have solved this issue ? thanks
