"PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected" on Jetson Nano

Hello,

I’m getting PCIe error messages on my Jetson Nano. The time between error messages varies from several seconds to about an hour, and the errors are not correlated with any obvious activities. I have a wifi card installed, but the errors were appearing even before I installed it.
The board runs JetPack 4.4 with kernel 4.9.140-tegra.
The board is just 2 days old.

Sample error message (all are identical):

Sep 28 11:44:59 jetson kernel: [41784.608108] pcieport 0000:00:01.0: AER: Corrected error received: id=0010

It is mostly because of ASPM L1 being enabled. You can give it a try by disabling ASPM using the following methods. Many of the off the shelf PCIe devices have issues with ASPM states (even though they advertise their support for ASPM states)

  • Disabling ASPM can be achieved in the following ways for a platform
  • Disabling from the beginning
    • Appending ‘pcie_aspm=off’ to the kernel command line
    • Removing “CONFIG_PCIEASPM_POWERSAVE=y” and setting “CONFIG_PCIEASPM_PERFORMANCE=y” in the kernel configuration
  • Disabling after system boots to console
    • Executing the below command once the system boots to console
      • echo “performance” > /sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy

Seem like it’s helped. Thanks for the advice.
