NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Engineering Reference Developer Kit Super Board GPIO unable to work !
Please provide more details of your issue, then we can know how to help. Thanks
Below is a summary of what I have tried so far and the issue observed:
-
Platform: JetPack 6 (R36.4.4), kernel 5.15.148-tegra
-
Board reports as generic on JP6
-
Target pin: 40-pin header Pin 7 (PG.01, gpiochip0 line 36)
Actions performed:
-
Configured the pin using Jetson-IO
-
Function set to GPIO
-
Pin Direction set to Bidirectional
-
Configuration saved and system rebooted
-
-
Verified GPIO visibility using:
gpioinfo /dev/gpiochip0
-
Attempted to drive the pin using:
-
gpioset /dev/gpiochip0 36=1 -
Python control using libgpiod (v2 API)
-
-
Tested with no external load connected
-
Verified 3.3 V rail is present on Pin 1
Issue observed:
-
GPIO state changes logically in software, but
no 3.3 V output is measurable on the physical pin -
Pin remains at 0 V even when driven HIGH
Please advise on the next steps.
Basically I just need to set to bidirectional as input/output
Hi bryan.lee-zn,
If you want to control the GPIO, please configure it as Output or Bi-directional in pinmux spreadsheet.
Please try using the following command instead.
# gpioset --mode=wait `gpiofind "PG.01"`=0
# gpioset --mode=wait `gpiofind "PG.01"`=1
It seems you are using JP6.1.2, please also apply the following patch to check if it could help for your case.
40hdr - SPI1 gpio padctl register bit[10] effect by gpiod tools in JP6 - #20 by KevinFFF
Can you guide me step by step on how to configure it as Output or Bi-directional in pinmux spreadsheet and flash to the board? thanks
I found this is incorrect.
PIN7 of 40 pins expansion header is PAC.06 as following.
![]()
You can configure it as following in pinmux spreadsheet.
![]()
Please refer to Jetson AGX Orin Platform Adaptation and Bring-Up — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide to apply the change.
