SD card driver bug on Jetson TK1?

demotomohiro · November 30, 2014, 5:52pm

I bought a 128GB Class10 UHS-I SDXC card(DNF-SDX128C10) to install jedroid and ubuntu.
I made 2 partitions on it and both partitions are formatted with ext4.
I inserted it to Jetson TK1 and tried to copy sample file system to it.
But I got IO errors and failed to copy files.

I thought that SDXC card is broken, but I could copied files to it using USB card reader or sd card reader on my old laptop (both sd card reader supports SDHC but SDXC).

Ubuntu on the SDXC card is working with USB card reader, but I want to use it with sd card reader on Jetson TK1, not with USB card reader.

Following is dmesg when I insert my sd card to Jetson TK1.

I have the same problem depending on the SD card.
I get the same errors using the following SD card:
Sandisk Extreme PRO SD XC I (64 GB), Class 10; UHS Speed Class 3.
However, using a “slower” SD card works:
Samsung SD HC I (32 GB), Class 10; UHS Speed Class 1.

sv_91 · September 18, 2015, 12:17pm

I have the same problem.
Is there a solution?

linuxdev · September 18, 2015, 5:08pm

I’m looking at the Tegra K1 Embedded Design Guide, which states the SD card and SDIO interfaces support up to UHS-I (UHS-II not supported). What is the exact SD card you are using, and how was it partitioned and formatted?

Looking back at the original post, it looks like the UHS-1 should be supported. It’ll probably take some research to learn more about SD card requirements. More details are needed.

It would be useful if anyone has tried various larger SD cards of type SDHC or SDXC would post the details of the card and if it failed or succeeded.

demotomohiro · September 19, 2015, 8:43pm

My solution is buy other SD cards from different venders.
I bought 5 SD cards.

Following SD cards cause errors on Jetson TK1:
Transcend SDHC card 32GB Class10 UHS-I TS32GSDHC10U1E
Transcend microSDHC card 16GB Class10 UHS-I TS16GUSDU1E
Team SDHC card Class 10 (UHS-1 32GB)

Following SD cards worked without error on Jetson TK1:
Gigastone microSDHC card 32GB Class10 GJM10/32G
Toshiba SDHC card Class10 UHS-I (16GB, 40MB/s)

I didn’t changed partition on thoese SD cards.
I formated them with “sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/mmcblk1p1”

linuxdev · September 19, 2015, 10:49pm

Just adding some SD card info to the pool. I’ve found these to work both as a root partition and for data:

Samsung SDHC Class 6, 16GB, Model MB-SSAGB/AM.
Sandisk Ultra SDHC Class 10, 16GB (model uncertain, marked BL1429650227D).

I found this works for data, but fails as a root file system:

ADATA SDXC, UHS-I/Class 10, 16GB, Model ASDH16GUICL10-R.
EDIT: The logo on this card shows HC, but is specified in other places as XC.

sv_91 · September 21, 2015, 6:26am

My card is
Transcend SDHC card 32GB Class10 UHS-I TS32GSDU1

I found in Release notes mention of this error:
http://developer.download.nvidia.com/embedded/L4T/r21_Release_v4.0/Tegra_Linux_Driver_Package_Release_Notes_R21.4.pdf
(issue 200081682)
however, as I understand it, there mention is a problem using the card as a root file system, but I have problem with the usual copying the data on the card

At the other Jetson this card is working properly

Hi sv_91_, I have a few questions regarding the SD card issue:

Do other SD cards besides the TS32GSDU1 work without issue on both Jetson boards?
Do both Jetson boards have identical software configurations?
If available, have you tried a third Jetson board as well?

Yes, with the card “Komputer bay professional 64Gb 10 class” does not work.
Yes, Jetson boards have identical software configurations. I also tested on firmware 21.4, grinch 19.3, grinch 21.3.4 (current)
Yes, on the third Jetson all also works.
All this suggests that the problem is with a particular Jetson

You’ll likely need to RMA that particular Jetson if it’s still within warranty. The procedure is on the top of this thread: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/793798/embedded-systems/some-jetson-web-links/

Kingston SDXC Class 10 (SD10V/64GB)

Works fine.
Rather slow though. Write speed: ~15Mb/sec.
