Orin boot assertion

*** Please note that this reply is generated by LLM automatically ***

Based on the provided context, I’ll attempt to provide a comprehensive answer to your question.

Firstly, I’d like to acknowledge that you’re experiencing a startup issue with the AGX Orin 64G industrial, and you’ve already tried applying a fix based on Assertion 3 from the post Assertion issue in UEFI during boot. However, the problem still occasionally occurs during power cycle.

Given that you’re using a custom board, not a Jetson development kit, there could be several possible causes for this issue. Here are a few potential reasons:

  1. UEFI version: Although you’re using UEFI version R35.6.1, it’s possible that there are known issues or bugs in this version that might be causing the startup problem. You may want to check if there are any newer UEFI versions available for the AGX Orin 64G industrial.
  2. Custom board design: Since you’re using a custom board, there might be design-related issues that are causing the startup problem. For example, there could be issues with the power delivery, clocking, or signal integrity. You may want to review your board design and ensure that it meets the requirements specified in the AGX Orin 64G industrial datasheet.
  3. GPIO configuration: The AGX Orin GPIO issue (mentioned in the context) might be related to your problem. You may want to verify that your custom board’s GPIO configuration is correct and compatible with the AGX Orin 64G industrial.
  4. Kernel issues: The call trace observed during boot (mentioned in the context) could be related to kernel issues. You may want to check if there are any known kernel issues or bugs that might be causing the startup problem.
  5. HDMI or display issues: Although not directly related to your startup issue, there are several posts in the context mentioning HDMI or display issues on the AGX Orin. You may want to verify that your display configuration is correct and compatible with the AGX Orin 64G industrial.

To further troubleshoot the issue, you may want to try the following:

  • Check the system logs for any error messages or warnings that might indicate the cause of the startup problem.
  • Verify that your custom board’s power delivery and clocking are within the specified limits.
  • Try booting the system with a minimal configuration (e.g., without any peripherals or devices attached) to see if the problem persists.
  • If possible, try using a Jetson development kit to see if the problem occurs on a standard board.

In comparison to other platforms mentioned in the context, the AGX Orin 64G industrial is a high-performance AI computer, and its startup issues might be related to its complex design and configuration. The Jetson Orin NX, for example, is a more compact and power-efficient platform, and its startup issues might be less complex.

In summary, there are several possible causes for the startup issue on your AGX Orin 64G industrial custom board. You may want to investigate the UEFI version, custom board design, GPIO configuration, kernel issues, and display configuration to identify the root cause of the problem.
