L4T34.1.1 UEFI boot error on Xavier NX

Autonomous Machines Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson Xavier NX
#1

Hi,

I’m using L4T34.1.1 on Xavier NX.
The UEFI boot fail sometimes. Maybe 1/50. It’s a random issue.
Is it a know issue on JetPack 5.0.1 DP?

This is the log of uefi.

L4T 35.1 Xavier AGX: UEFI boot error on custom Carrierboard
#3

Hi,

According to above log, it is not a common scenario to hit this issue. For example, looks like those basic binaries (kernel/extlinux) are gone on your emmc.

What is your purpose here?

#4

Hi Wayne,

I have to check the boot stability in our case.
If the situation was not solved. We will use JetPack4.6.1 in our case.
Is it updated in JP5.0GA ot 5.1? Or do I have other way to fix it?

#5

Hi,

What is the test requirement here?
Does your boot stability need to break the kernel ? If you want to test the A/B redundancy, then it will be supported in JP5.0 GA.

I just want to say this is not a bug on UEFI itself, it is more related to A/B redundancy not supported on DP version.

#6

Also, this is also weird that you said “It’s a random issue”.

The log looks like the kernel is gone. Are you sure you can still boot up in next boot after this error happened?

#7

Hi Wayne,

It can boot up in next boot.

I just flash a new pure Image in Xavier NX and reboot many times.
Then the uefi boot fail that will be happend.
But it will boot up in next boot.
If I keep reboot many times again, it will be happend again.

I think something error(or other things) let the uefi unable to load image.

#8

Ok, if that is the case, then it sounds like a bug. The error symptom should be “sometimes uefi fails to read kernel/extlinux”.

Is this devkit or custom board?

#9

Hi Wayne,

It happen on devkit and custom board both.

#10

We will test this in next release and see if we can reproduce. But I cannot guarantee it will be resolved in time because next release will be released soon.

#11

Hi Wayne,
Thanks your help. I’m looking forward to the next release.

#14

Hi Wilson,

We tried to reboot 550 times on next release and cannot hit the error you mentioned.

#15

Hi, I had the same problem, this is a random problem in NX JP5.0 GA.

#16

Hi,

JP5.0 GA is not yet released. Could you clarify the version here?
