Nvpmodel not working on ORIN NX

andre.girard · March 26, 2024, 10:16pm

Hello,

I have the same problem, with same board, as the post here: NVPM WARN: power mode is not set! And cannot set it using config file

I am not sure what the user meant by the “bc” package.

The /etc/nvpmodel.conf gives me:

As well, following Jetson Orin NX Series and Jetson AGX Orin Series — Jetson Linux<br/>Developer Guide 34.1 documentation , is there a way to change the nvpmodel profile without power cycling the board ? As in:

ubuntu@jetson:~$ sudo nvpmodel -m 2
NVPM ERROR: Error writing 240 to /sys/devices/gpu.0/tpc_pg_mask: 19
NVPM WARN: Reboot required for changing to this power mode: 2
NVPM WARN: DO YOU WANT TO REBOOT NOW? enter YES/yes to confirm:

Thank you

Hi andre.girard,

Are you also using the custom carrier board(Seeed studios reComputer J4012)?

What’s your Jetpack version in use?

Could you share the result of the following commands on your board?

$ apt show bc
$ sudo nvpmodel -q --verbose

andre.girard · March 27, 2024, 11:07am

Hello,

Yes I am using the same board (Seeed studios reComputer J4012)

I am using JetPack 5.1.2.

I don’t have apt installed on my distro, but I see bc seems to be installed in /usr/bin/ :
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Mar 9 12:34 bc → /usr/bin/bc.bc
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 91K Mar 9 12:34 bc.bc

$ sudo 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.

Also, I noticed that /etc/nvpmodel is empty for me.

I hope this help. Thanks

There is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue any more.
Hence we are closing this topic. If need further support, please open a new one.
Thanks

What do you mean about “empty”?

Could you share the result of the following command on your board?

$ ls -l /etc/nvpmodel
