【Resolved】Finally Successful burn fuses on xavier and the experience share, thanks

Hi, all
Burning fuses on xaveri is tough experience for me, Topic 123098.

After referncen the L4T offical Doc and deep search in forum and test,seems finally success.

Thanks a lot for the case/experience sharing and advice from: JerryChang, DaneLLL, ilies.chergui, TakenoriSato, nazaraa, yusufftran, ect.

【Reamining Issue】
1、Still don’t know root reason of reboot recovery failed(and Boot Rom Communication failed), bypass with TWO-Step burn method.
2、Need more clearly undertanding the “PkcDisable” fuse and change effect
3、Directly write fuses from /sys/devices/platform/tegra-fuse/nodes seems work too, how does this way affect (badly?)?
4、Just burn KEK fuses right now,will try enable PKC after more test.

I record my test process here:
【xavier】Jetpack 4.3, L4T R32.3.1
【host】ubuntu desktop, 18.04.4 LTS
【boards】2 brand new Jetson AGX Xavier (32G), as decribed Board-A & Board-B below

  1. First Test
    【Board ID】Board-A
    【odmfuse.sh】official version
    【Burn cmd】sudo ./odmfuse.sh -c NS -i 0x19 --KEK2 fuse-key/kek2.txt jetson-xavier
    【Fail reason】AS Jerry point,NS mode does NOT accept any key files,
    update 2020.05.20】based on sixth test on Board-B,“NS mode does not accept any key files” seems NOT right,I finally burn kek2 fuse successfull with “-c NS”

  2. Second Test
    【Board ID】Board-A
    【odmfuse.sh】official version
    【Burn cmd】sudo ./odmfuse.sh -c pkc -i 0x19 -k fuse-key/rsa_priv.pem --KEK2 fuse-key/kek2.txt jetson-xavier
    【fail reason】Boot Rom Communication failed,

  3. Third Test
    【Board ID】Board-A
    【odmfuse.sh】official version + custome change
    【odmfuse.sh change】change odmfuse.sh and hardcode the boad info, to make call Boot Rom Communication only once, patch
    【Burn cmd】sudo ./odmfuse.sh -c pkc -i 0x19 -k fuse-key/rsa_priv.pem --KEK2 fuse-key/kek2.txt jetson-xavier
    【Fail reason】Stat for RECFILE failed, zerosbk

  4. Fourth Test
    【Board ID】Board-A
    【odmfuse.sh】NOT used
    【Burn cmd】NOT used *not burn, directly write to /sys/devices/platform/tegra-fuse/ node **
    【Attention】This IS NOT THE WRIGHT WAY by L4T official doc, But it seems works for KEK0/1/2 fuses
    【write & test cmd】
    cd /sys/devices/platform/tegra-fuse/
    echo 0x112233445566778899aabbccddeeff00 > kek2
    cat kek2 — will show what you write above,
    echo 0x1 > odm_profuction_mode
    cat kek2 — still show kek0 value
    reboot
    cd /sys/devices/platform/tegra-fuse/
    cat kek2 ---- after reboot, production_mode effect, read kek2 will show all 0xff
    【Attention】when using TA call se_derive_ekb_ek → se_aes_ecb_operation(…, SE_AES_KEYSLOT_KEK2)128B) to devrive the key,I firstly found it‘s SAME as KEK2 = default 0 value. But IT‘s NOT TRUE.
    【The reason】 is R32.3.1 demo TA keystore-demo, after derive key by calling se_derive_ekb_ek, it call se_derive_aes_keyslots(keystore-demo.c, line 162), which clean ALL SE keyslots(11-15) includng KEK0/1/2, before my TA work. When My test TA works, all SE keyslots become zero again

  5. Fifth Test
    【Board ID】Board-B
    【odmfuse.sh】official version
    【burn cmd】sudo ./odmfuse.sh -c pkc -p -i 0x19 -k fuse-key/rsa_priv.pem --KEK0 fuse-key/kek0.txt --KEK2 fuse-key/kek2.txt jetson-xavier (newly add -p)
    【Failed reason】SAME as above Second Test, Failed at the secondly Boot Rom Communication .

  6. Sixth Test
    【Board ID】Board-B
    【odmfuse.sh】official R32.4.2 version(including below solution2) + solution3 + TWO-Step burn process
    【Burn cmd】
    sudo ./odmfuse.sh -c NS -i 0x19 --KEK2 fuse-key/kek2.txt --noburn jetson-xavier
    …untar fuseblob.tbz2 , check the odmfuse_pkc.xml , run fusecmd.sh…
    sudo ./fusecmd.sh
    【results】successful burn kek2 fuse

  • 【Conclusion 】odmfuse.sh NOT works directly, there several fix need add/take care

【problem1】odmfuse.sh is ONE-Step burning command, when running without “–noburn”, it call get_board_version which will reboot xavier into recovery mode, but it failed some how. ---- then you will see Boot Rom Communication Failed
【solution1】using TWO-Step burn as L4T Official Doc also advices,first run BOARDID=2888 FAB=400 BOARDSKU=0004 BOARDREV=K.0 ./odmfuse.sh --noburn …(other paras). , secondly untar fuseblob.tbz2 and run fusecmd.sh.

【problem2】some wrong like “Stat for RECFILE failed”
【solution2】this is because odmfuse.sh miss some recover config, you need patch/add “CFGCONV+=”-e /RECDTB-FILE/d “” command. Reference: From ilies.chergui patch, From DaneLLL Patch. These Fix are include in odmfuse.sh of R32.4.2 release.

【problem3】odmfuse.sh does not support “-c NC”
【solution3】odmfuse.sh add “PkcDisbale” fusename when using “-c NC”, but later not recognize by BOM? Reference Patch: From ilies.chergui patch delete which will delte “PkcDisbale” from odmfuse_pkc.xml

hello mowa,

glad to know that you’re able to burn fuse on Xavier,
suggest you may also attach logs of fusing and also kernel booting message for reference.
thanks

sure,I burned kek0 right now and attached the log at above post, please check, Thanks.
