Update R35.5 and pwm-fan disappear

Hi, when I update our custom board using Xavier NX R35.3.1 to R35.5. it seems the pwm-fun node can not regist and jtop can not use as well. But in our old version, jtop can work successfully.
it shows these information in dmesg

Hi 854053437,

How do you update the custom board to R35.5?

[    2.575139] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c:122 gpio_to_desc+0xb4/0x100

[    2.775159] FAN: of_property_read failed

It seems something wrong in your device tree.
Please share the full device tree for further check.

I download R35.5‘s source file, and rebuild our kernel and dtb in it. Then replace the file in the R35.5 L4T file and flash into our board. The kernel and dtb configuration are as same as R35.3.1.
Here is the full device tree

I want to check the device tree from your source rather than the one decompiled from dtb.

Do you sync the kernel source from R35.5.0 and apply your custom change?

Do you have the custom design for the fan different from the devkit?

6

here is the device tree file in our source
uih-ccpb.txt (4.1 KB)

yes, I recompiled kernel and dtb through R35.5.0 source.

I think the fan design is as same as devkit. The only custom device tree I configured is pfsd to confirm fan’s two gpio as same as our design. It works fine in R35.3.1 and jtop works fine as well. If something wrong in it I’ll ask my hardware colleagues.

7

Okay, I compared the config file bettwen R35.3.1 and R35.5.0. I just find that in fan function, CONFIG_SENSORS_PWM_FAN is set m in 35.5.0 unlike of y in 35.3.1, this might be the reason. I’ll try and tell you the result, thanks for help

8

Please also check pwm_gpio attribute in pfsd { node since your error showing gpio request failed.

9

I set CONFIG_SENSORS_PWM_FAN to y and update the kernel image. The pwm-fan no err and jtop can work fine, thanks for help
