Hardware: AGX Orin 64GB developer kit
Jetpack: 6.0

After i flashed jetpack 6.0, but found that neither ttyUSB / ttyACM are shown although there’re devices connected and shown via lsusb Any idea what happened? And how shall i resolve this issue?

Hi,
Looks like the device driver is absent. For Jetpack 6.0GA, we align with upstream kernel for the kernel configs. So the config for the device may not be enabled. Please investigate what configs are required for the device and check developer guide to rebuild kernel image.

5

Hi @DaneLLL

What are the steps to do the rebuilding of kernel image?

Best,
Samuel

6

Hi,
Please check the kernel section in developer guide:

Kernel — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide 1 documentation

7

Hi @DaneLLL

I have read through the link you sent, but i have no idea which one to choose that can bring ttyUSB / ttyACM. I have totally no experience on kernel rebuilding. Perhaps you can give further guidance. Thank you

Best,
Samuel

Hi,
We are uncertain which configs are related. Would see if other users can share experience.

You may try Jetpack 5.1.3 and see if the device is up and running well. If yes, you can compare the kernel configs between the releases for further information.

9

Do you have “/proc/config.gz” on your running Jetson? That has the list of current kernel config symbols. You might be interested in some subset of what this produces:
zcat /proc/config.gz | egrep '(USB|FTDI|ACM)'
(probably you could skip the USB in the egrep, I imagine it will provide a lot of symbols not needed)

Mostly I think those could be built as a module and simply copied to the right location, but you’d have to start by matching your current system’s configuration. You’d also want to write down your current “uname -r”. The suffix of the “uname -r” would be something like “-tegra” on NVIDIA builds, but might not be anything on a mainline; /proc/config.gz contains your exact configuration with the exception that it does not copy CONFIG_LOCALVERSION, and the suffix of “uname -r” is the CONFIG_LOCALVERSION.

The short version is that if you have the matching kernel source, and you’ve matched config.gz, and added in the CONFIG_LOCALVERSION from the suffix of “uname -r”, then your kernel source config is exactly what you already have. At that point you can use a dependency aware editor (such as nconfig or menuconfig build targets) to enable the symbol you want in the form of a module (uses the m key in the editor), make sure the config is valid (“make modules_depend”), and build the modules target. You’d copy the resulting .ko module file to the Jetson, run “sudo depmod -a”, and it should then work.

There are lots of docs about kernel build, but the trick is to get the config correct before you build the modules. If you do this you can save a lot of work since you wouldn’t need to reinstall the entire kernel and all modules.

Will there be any fix on Jetpack 6.0 for this issue? Beacuse i also found that the Jetpack 6.0 has issues with using D435i and D455 camera(s) as well, for these are cameras coming with inbuilt imu. I am told to solve the D435i and D455 camera(s) issue using GitHub - IntelRealSense/realsense_mipi_platform_driver: Intel® RealSense™ camera driver for GMSL* interface , but i am also facing installation hiccup on this solution. However, the previous Jetpack version totally don’t have these issues at all.

Really wish there’ll be fix release as soon as possible.

Hi,
Do you know what configs have to be enabled for the function? We would like to align the default config with upstream kernel, so may not have the configs enabled by default. But would like to list it as an option in elinux wiki:

Jetson/L4T/r36.3.x patches - eLinux.org

12

Nope, totally have no idea what configs need to be enabled. Is the elinux wiki that currently composed with are those missing functions that need to be fixed? As i saw there’re quite recent posts.

  1. For the realsense D435i and D455, i still have no idea at all.

  2. For the ttyUSB / ttyACM that is missing, it’s more related to CH340 or L2303 drivers.

Solution for (2) QinHeng Electronics CH340 serial converter, do the steps below:

Step 1 - Download file

Check corresponding version & release

head -n 1 /etc/nv_tegra_release

Download via

wget https://developer.nvidia.com/downloads/embedded/l4t/r36_release_v3.0/sources/public_sources.tbz2

Step 2 - Extract Files

cd ~/Downloads
tar xf public_sources.tbz2
cd Linux_for_Tegra/source
tar xf kernel_src.tbz2
cd kernel/kernel-jammy-src

Step 3 - Generate and Edit .config

cd ~/Downloads/Linux_for_Tegra/source/kernel/kernel-jammy-src
make defconfig
gedit .config

Search for the CH341, uncomment it and enable it as module
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_CH341=m
Save the file after finish editing.

Step 5 - Build the module

make -j$(nproc) modules

Step 6 - Copy & Paste ch341.ko

cd ~/Downloads/Linux_for_Tegra/source/kernel/kernel-jammy-src/drivers/usb/serial/
sudo cp ch341.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/
sudo depmod -a

Step 6 - Reboot

reboot

Now shall be able to see the QinHeng Electronics CH340 serial converter being registered as /dev/ttyUSB*

In case, still unable to see it, do extra steps:

systemctl stop brltty-udev.service
sudo systemctl mask brltty-udev.service
systemctl stop brltty.service
systemctl disable brltty.service
sudo apt remove brltty

15

there is no #CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_CH341=m in jetson_36.4 how should i d

16

What do you see from “zcat /proc/config.gz | grep 'CH341'”, and “uname -r”?
