Hello , I’m currently working on a mobile robot project using the Jetson Orin Nano 8GB Developer Kit, and I’ve been struggling with kernel customization issues for several months. Background My robot base communicates over CAN bus, but I found that JetPack 6.0 does not include the gs_usb kernel mo…

Some background might help first (if the headers are available you don’t need to do this, but it is useful to know this when you only have the full source code). A lot of people ask something similar, so this is more detailed than you probably want… A kernel has a way of plugging in code while it r…

Because the previous operation caused many follow-up issues, I would like to get a real (human) reply this time and a more detailed step-by-step guide.

Thank you for your reply. I actually followed those steps before, but in the end, I encountered several issues such as missing header files, Wi-Fi connection failure, and other related problems. Could you please tell me how to avoid these issues and ensure that my customized kernel and system rema…

hello, missing header files might cause other errors in my future development as well. Therefore, I would like to get a complete and reliable guide on how to properly build and customize a stable kernel.

If you don’t have headers, then probably you can use the full source after configuring it for your current running kernel (including CONFIG_LOCALVERSION, the suffix from the output of “uname -r”).

Okay, could you please tell me exactly what I should do step by step? By the way, this is another post I made https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/jetson-orin-nano-wi-fi-backports-build-fails-due-to-missing-kernel-headers-after-custom-kernel-rebuild/347872/5 , which includes detailed information abo…

I successfully solved the problem following your guidance. Thanks!

Hi,
The steps of kernel customization are clear in developer guide and we would suggest take a look at:

Kernel Customization — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide

And may refer to the real practices:
