Python controls GPIO errors

Hello all,
We used /opt/nvidia/jetson-io/ Jetson-io.py to set up the PWM function of pin32,

import Jetson.GPIO as GPIO
import sys
import time


def main():
    # Pin Setup:
    # Board pin-numbering scheme
    GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)
    # set pin as an output pin with optional initial state of HIGH
    GPIO.setup(32, GPIO.OUT, initial=GPIO.HIGH)
    p = GPIO.PWM(32, 1000)
    val = 25
    incr = 5
    p.start(val)

    print("PWM running. Press CTRL+C to exit.")
    try:
        while True:
            time.sleep(0.08)
            if val >= 100:
                incr = -incr
            if val <= 0:
                incr = -incr
            val += incr
            p.ChangeDutyCycle(val)
    finally:
        #GPIO.output(32,GPIO.LOW)
        p.stop()
        GPIO.cleanup()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Above is our control code.

Following the same steps, we can successfully control pwm on the Jetson Xavier NX Devkit using the same steps and running the same script. But not on the ORIN NANO. The following error message will be displayed.

nvidia@nvidia:~$ sudo python3 gpio_test_pwm.py

We are using the L4T35.3.1 system version.
Note that when I use similar python scripts to control the heights of other GPIOs, it works. And there will be the same warning.

How do I solve it?

Try to use import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

Hi chen.xi,

Are you using the devkit or custom board for Orin Nano?

Please check if the following thread could help for your case.
