Request debug RTCPU image for JP5.1.1

Hello,

This is a follow up to the post here: Request debug RTCPU image for JP5.1

Would you be able to share the debug RTCPU binary for AGX Xavier Jetpack 5.1.1 (L4T 35.3.1) ? If there is a link to that, unfortunately I was not able to find it in the forums anywhere, nor in the official Download Center.

As well, if you have some information on how these firmwares are compatible between Jetpack versions (presumably only on the same SoM), I would appreciate if you can share it. It’s not clear if I could use the firmware from the above link in even later Jetpack version, like 5.2.1 or 6.

Thanks.

To provide more information, I am in a similiar position to Deskew calibration and timing solution portability to JetPack 5.1.1 but on AGX Xavier instead of AGX Orin.

If it’s possible to debug deskew on 5.1.1 without updating, that would be preferable. If not, I will have to OTA update to 5.1.2, and this is less preferrable because I have made kernel and DTB changes for my custom carrier board. (I don’t know if there are kernel changes in R35.4.1)

hello alok.deshpande,

honestly, you should consider moving to the latest Jetpack release version, i.e. JP-5.1.3/l4t-r35.5.0
this latest release version including several camera bug fixes, I assume you should not dig into rce-fw for those debugging logs.

anyways,
here’s Topic 260583 to share JetPack-5.1.1/l4t-r35.3.1 camera firmware with debug flag enabled.

Hi JerryChang.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Ok, I can try updating to R35.5.0. But if I face the same issue on that version, I would require the debug firmware.

The debug firmware that you have shared in Request debug RTCPU image for JP5.1.1 - #5 by JerryChang is for AGX Orin.

Can you please share the firmware for AGX Xavier? Either for 35.3.1 or for 35.5.0.

Much appreciated.

hello alok.deshpande,

please moving to r35.5.0 for verification, we could share you a debug version rce firmware if that’s necessary.

Hi. Thanks for letting me know, I will update to 35.5.0.

Please feel free to share the firmware anyways just in case it’s needed (for myself or others). Thanks very much.

hello alok.deshpande,

all right, here’s debug version camera firmware (i.e. rce-fw) for JP-5.1.3/l4t-r35.5.0
Topic285027_Mar07.7z (253.8 KB)

please update the binary file, and then running with flash script to update rce-fw.
for instance,

  • for Xavier series,
    please update binary file, $OUT/Linux_for_Tegra/bootloader/camera-rtcpu-t194-rce.img
    commands for partition flash to update camera firmware, $ sudo ./flash.sh -r -k rce-fw jetson-agx-xavier-devkit mmcblk0p1
  • for Orin series,
    please update binary file, $OUT/Linux_for_Tegra/bootloader/camera-rtcpu-t234-rce.img
    commands for partition flash to update camera firmware, $ sudo ./flash.sh -r -k A_rce-fw jetson-agx-orin-devkit mmcblk0p1

here’s checksum about camera firmware, you may check kernel init messages for confirmation.
for instance, $ sudo dmesg | grep "firmware version"
please refer to below for an example.
Checksum with default r35.5.0 camera firmware on AGX Xavier:
tegra186-cam-rtcpu bc00000.rtcpu: firmware version cpu=rce cmd=6 sha1=571b1d9f5b93980c19e16eaf250cfa6deac6f03e
After apply the attached debug camera firmware on AGX Xavier:
tegra186-cam-rtcpu bc00000.rtcpu: firmware version cpu=rce cmd=6 sha1=9c498560e394626b6c7f988053ee7c1c037e9702

BTW,
if you’re using Orin NX, you should execute with l4t_initrd_flash.sh.
please also refer to Topic 260583 for steps to replace the camera debug firmware.

Thank you very much. This should be all for now, I appreciate it.

I will open a new ticket once I start using the firmware after updating to Jetpack 5.1.3
