I’m trying to configure the /etc/nvpmodel.conf, or /etc/nvpmodel/nvpmodel_p3767_0000.conf for the Orin NX 16GB, such that it selects the “MAXN” mode on reboot by setting < PM_CONFIG DEFAULT=0 >. However when i reboot i get:
# nvpmodel -q --verbose
NVPM VERB: Config file: /etc/nvpmodel.conf
NVPM VERB: parsing done for /etc/nvpmodel.conf
NVPM VERB: Using default settings.
NVPM WARN: power mode is not set!
NVPM VERB: Using default settings.
I have deleted the “/var/lib/nvpmodel/status” file as explained here
It also seems the power model is missing from jetson_clocks --show output:

Usually there’s a NV Power Mode: MAXN at the bottom. It also seems to have enabled all cpus by default, which is odd.
The Orin NX has been flashed with the basic rootfs , with some changes to the default nvidia-l4t packages that are installed using apply_binaries.sh. However when flashing it with the minimal flavor (and same nvidia-l4t packages) it works to set the nvpmodel using the /etc/nvpmodel.conf file. Any clues on what this could be, or should i just compare the packages in the nvubuntu-focal-basic-aarch64-packages and nvubuntu-focal-minimal-aarch64-packages?
Hi hvbotten,
Are you using the devkit or custom board for Orin NX?
Could you share the /etc/nvpmodel.conf from your board as file here for further check?
I am using Seeed studios reComputer J4012
It was flashed using the driver package (BSP) with version 35.4.1, I never installed Jetpack at any point.

# mandatory section to configure the default power mode
< PM_CONFIG DEFAULT=0 >
I worked my way through the package difference between basic and minimal, and found out that if I include the bc package everything works as expected. Now I can reboot and the power model gets set correctly from the config file. Not sure exactly how the bc package specifically interacts with nvpmodel though…
