Problem with SPI in Jetson Nano

tareq.khan · June 26, 2023, 5:16pm

I am trying to interface a FLIR Lepton 2.5 thermal imaging camera with Jetson-nano B01 using SPI.
However, I was not able to work with the SPI, even I tried to read and apply some other posts in the forum.

Below are the steps I did:

In Windows PC, I followed the steps in here, downloaded jetson-nano-jp461-sd-card-image.zip, and wrote image to the SD card.
In Jetson Nano, I can see the versions: nvidia-l4t-core 32.7.1, and Jetpack 4.6.4-b39.

tareq@tareq-nano3:~$ dpkg-query --show nvidia-l4t-core
nvidia-l4t-core	32.7.1-20220219090432


tareq@tareq-nano3:~$ sudo apt-cache show nvidia-jetpack
Package: nvidia-jetpack
Version: 4.6.4-b39
Architecture: arm64
Maintainer: NVIDIA Corporation
Installed-Size: 194
...

Then I ran JetsonIO, configured 40 pin header, selected spi1 pins (19,21,23,24,26), saved and rebooted.

tareq@tareq-nano3:~$ sudo /opt/nvidia/jetson-io/jetson-io.py

It created /boot/kernel_tegra210-p3448-0000-p3449-0000-b00-user-custom.dtb file and updated /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file. The contents of the /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file are shown below:

# When testing a custom kernel, it is recommended that you create a backup of

kernel_tegra210-p3448-0000-p3449-0000-b00-user-custom.dtb (232.4 KB)

extlinux.conf (1.2 KB)

Then I used DTC compiler to create the kt.dts from the dtb file.

tareq@tareq-nano3:~$ dtc -I dtb -O dts -o kt.dts /boot/kernel_tegra210-p3448-0000-p3449-0000-b00-user-custom.dtb

kt.dts (319.8 KB)

Then I opened kt.dts using text editor.

tareq@tareq-nano3:~$ sudo gedit kt.dts

I modified spi1 and spi2 related texts as below:

spi2_miso_pb5 {
				nvidia,pins = "spi2_miso_pb5";
				nvidia,function = "spi2";
				nvidia,pull = <0x1>;
				nvidia,tristate = <0x0>;
				nvidia,enable-input = <0x1>;
			};

			spi2_sck_pb6 {
				nvidia,pins = "spi2_sck_pb6";
				nvidia,function = "spi2";
				nvidia,pull = <0x1>;
				nvidia,tristate = <0x0>;
				nvidia,enable-input = <0x1>;
			};

				nvidia,pins = "spi2_cs0_pb7";
				nvidia,function = "spi2";
				nvidia,pull = <0x1>;
				nvidia,tristate = <0x0>;
				nvidia,enable-input = <0x1>;
			};

			spi2_cs1_pdd0 {
				nvidia,pins = "spi2_cs1_pdd0";
				nvidia,function = "spi2";
				nvidia,pull = <0x1>;
				nvidia,tristate = <0x0>;
				nvidia,enable-input = <0x1>;

spi1_mosi_pc0 {
				nvidia,pins = "spi1_mosi_pc0";
				nvidia,function = "spi1";
				nvidia,pull = <0x1>;
				nvidia,tristate = <0x0>;
				nvidia,enable-input = <0x1>;
			};

			spi1_miso_pc1 {
				nvidia,pins = "spi1_miso_pc1";
				nvidia,function = "spi1";
				nvidia,pull = <0x1>;
				nvidia,tristate = <0x0>;
				nvidia,enable-input = <0x1>;

				nvidia,tristate = <0x0>;
				nvidia,enable-input = <0x1>;
			};

The the modified file is attached.
kt_modified.dts (319.8 KB)

Then generated the kt.dtb file from the modified dts file.

tareq@tareq-nano3:~$ dtc -I dts -O dtb -o kt.dtb kt_modified.dts

Then copied the dtb file to the boot directory as /boot/kernel_tegra210-p3448-0000-p3449-0000-b00-user-custom.dtb

tareq@tareq-nano3:~$ sudo rm /boot/kernel_tegra210-p3448-0000-p3449-0000-b00-user-custom.dtb
tareq@tareq-nano3:~$ sudo cp kt.dtb /boot/kernel_tegra210-p3448-0000-p3449-0000-b00-user-custom.dtb

kernel_tegra210-p3448-0000-p3449-0000-b00-user-custom.dtb (232.4 KB)

Then I restarted the Jetson-nano.

Turned on spidev and check the registers.

tareq@tareq-nano3:~$ sudo modprobe spidev

Can you please help? If you can share the dts and dtb file for nvidia-l4t-core 32.7.1, and Jetpack 4.6.4-b39 for Jetson-nano that works, that might help.

KevinFFF · June 27, 2023, 1:33am

Hi tereq.khan,

You could use the following command to check your current Jetpack version.

cat /etc/nv_tegra_release

It seems you are using JP4.6.1 (R32.7.1).
Could you help updating to latest JP4.6.3(R32.7.3) to verify SPI?

You could refer to the following thread about the loopback test for SPI.
Jetson Nano SPI Bus Not Working - #10 by KevinFFF

If you have used Jetson-IO to configure SPI, you don’t need to further modification for device tree of pinmux. Just need to remove the GPIO usage in device tree.

tareq.khan · June 27, 2023, 3:45pm

NVIDIA should integrate the solution in JetsonIO which will do all the modification automatically. Also, can you write a blog post/YouTube video on how to solve this issue, seems like may people are having the same problem.

After update and upgrade, I got the following results. I now have JP4.6.4(R32.7.4)

Can you please share the exact Terminal commands for Step 2-1 and Step-2-2, as mentioned in the link you provided? I don’t know where to find the dtsi file and edit it.

Step 2. Remove GPIO usage of SPI pins
2-1. Check flash log to know which dtb you are using (ex. tegra210-p3448-0000-p3449-0000-b00.dtb)
2-2. Remove GPIO usage in that device tree

KevinFFF · June 29, 2023, 6:09am

Can you please share the flash log for further check?

tareq.khan · June 29, 2023, 2:35pm

I am not sure what you mean by flash log, is it step 1 of my first post? Please read my first posts and guide me from there mentioning the exact Terminal commands. Thanks.

KevinFFF · June 30, 2023, 6:29am

Oh, you use the tool in Windows to write image into SD card and there might be no flash log.

Could you get a standalone Ubuntu 18.04 host PC and use SDKM to flash your devkit? and there should be the flash log from your host.
Install Jetson Software with SDK Manager :: NVIDIA SDK Manager Documentation

tareq.khan · July 4, 2023, 3:45am

Hi Kevin,
Below are the steps I took according to your suggestion:

I installed Ubuntu 18.04 in a host PC using the tutorial at here.
I downloaded the .deb file for the NVIDIA SDK Manager 1.9.2 from here and installed it in the host PC. I ran the SDK manager using the Terminal command

$ sdkmanager

I powered the Jetson Nano B01 board using DC jack, and I connected the FC REC and GND pin using a wire. I used an USB cable to connect the Jetson Nano with the host PC.
The Jetson Nano also has an empty 32 GB SD card inserted.

I followed similar steps in here.
The SDK manager detected my device and I chose Jetson Nano [developer kit version] among the three options. I am using Jetson Nano B01.
However, the installation failed.

I tried several times, but didn’t work. I clicked the ‘EXPORT LOGS’ link at the bottom-right and it is attached below.
SDKM_logs_JetPack_4.6.4_Linux_for_Jetson_Nano_modules_2023-07-03_22-57-00.zip (78.5 KB)

Let me know what to do now. Can you please make a setup with a Jetson Nano B01 in your side and guide me after you solved the SPI problem in your side?

KevinFFF · July 4, 2023, 7:23am

It seems like the dependencies errors from your host PC.

Are you using standalone Ubuntu18.04?
Did you see any errors during installing SDKM?

We’ve verified SPI loopback test work with JP4.6.3(R32.7.3) and the full procedures was listed in the link I shared above in 27/Jun.

tareq.khan · July 4, 2023, 10:00am

I am not sure what you mean by “standalone”, I installed Ubuntu 18.04 in a separate laptop as mentioned in Step 1 of my last post. Can you send me the link of the exact Ubuntu ISO that you used?

No, there was no error when installing SDKM.

I see that you tested with Jetpack 4.6.3, however I selected Jetpack 4.6.4 in SDKM when installing. Could it be an issue?

tareq.khan · July 4, 2023, 3:07pm

I have successfully flashed the JetsonNano using SDKM from the host PC. I run the following update and upgrades in my host PC, and SDKM worked without any problem after that.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade

The Jetson Nano has now Jetpack 4.6.3. Here is the flash log you requested.
SDKM_logs_JetPack_4.6.3_Linux_for_Jetson_Nano_modules_2023-07-04_06-45-53.zip (291.1 KB)

Please let me know the next steps.

KevinFFF · July 5, 2023, 3:38am

I also use the ISO from official Ubuntu release page.

Does your host PC upgrade to newer version rather than 18.04 after this command?

Could you help to run the following command on your host PC?

lsb_release -a

It seems you’ve flashed the board successfully.

KevinFFF · July 5, 2023, 9:31am

Please refer to the following steps to modify device tree to removing the GPIO usage for SPI pins.

Step1: Dissemble the dtb to dts
dtc -I dtb -O dts -o temp.dts tegra210-p3448-0000-p3449-0000-b00.dtb

Step2: Modify the following line
-        gpio-input = <0xd8 0xc 0xd 0xe 0xf 0xe8 0x26 0x95 0x5 0xbc 0xbd 0xbe 0xc1 0xc2 0xa8 0xc8 0xca 0x4d 0x4e 0x4c 0x4f 0x32 0x33 0x10 0x11 0x12 0x13 0x14 0x3a 0x3d 0x3e 0x41 0xe4>;
+        gpio-input = <0xd8 0x26 0x95 0x5 0xbc 0xbd 0xbe 0xc1 0xc2 0xa8 0xc8 0xca 0x4d 0x4e 0x4c 0x4f 0x32 0x33 0x3a 0x3d 0x3e 0x41 0xe4>;

Step3: Assemble the dts back to dtb

After you finish above steps, please reflash the board.

I have applied the modification on the host PC’s /home/tareq/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/JetPack_4.6.3_Linux_JETSON_NANO_TARGETS/Linux_for_Tegra/kernel/dtb/tegra210-p3448-0000-p3449-0000-b00.dtb file using the 3 steps you mentioned.
I then successfully re-flashed the Jetson-nano using SDKM. Please let me know the next steps.

Please keep referring to the following thread for SPI loopback test I shared before.

I did the spidev-test following the steps you mentioned and it is not working. I am getting similar results shown in step 9 of my first post.

KevinFFF · July 7, 2023, 1:49am

Do you use Jetson-IO to configure the pins as SPI usage w/o issue?

Do you short MOSI and MISO together for loopback test?

Could you share the serial console log or dmesg after you load the spidev?

Please also share the result of the following command

$sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tegra_pinctrl_reg | grep -i spi

Yes, I use Jetson-IO to configure the pins as SPI usage w/o issue.

Yes, I shorted MOSI and MISO together for loopback test.

What to you mean by “serial console log or dmesg after you load the spidev”?

KevinFFF · July 10, 2023, 6:44am

Please refer to the following instruction to capture serial console log.

This is getting crazy.

Anyone who is reading this thread should know that the SPI of Jetson Nano doesn’t work. NVIDIA gives a blind eye on this problem and don’t fix it. Rather, wastes a lots of time of the customer who comes in the forum for help.

The specification description of JetsonNano website must remove SPI, so that developers aren’t fooled by their misleading marketing.

Thanks.
