Flash step

Enter Recovery mode

When it comes to using 'flash.sh', make sure you enter the Recovery mode first.

1. Connect to computer via M-USB1.
2. Press 'Recovery' button and 'Reset' button at the same time.
3. Release 'Reset' button.
4. Relesee 'Recovery' button.
5. Check wether the device is connected.

Flash command

Please flash using Nvidia script 'flash.sh'

$ cd <nvidia_folder>/Linux_for_Tegra/
$ ls flash.sh
flash.sh

<board> name for flash

Base on your modules, change the <board> name for script.
Xavier NX(emmc)

jetson-xavier-nx-devkit-emmc

Nano(emmc)

jetson-nano-devkit-emmc

Flash demo image

1. Download demo image from Technexion ftp server
2. Copy demo image to "Linux_for_Tegra/bootloader/"
   And rename it into "system.img"

$ sudo cp -rv <demo_image> <nvidia_folder>/Linux_for_Tegra/bootloader/system.img

3. Enter recovery mode and run:

$ sudo ./flash.sh -r <board> mmcblk0p1 

DO NOT create new system.img, flash only

$sudo ./flash.sh -r <board> mmcblk0p1

Create new system.img, and flash

$ sudo ./flash.sh <board> mmcblk0p1 

Create new system.img, DO NOT flash

$ sudo ./flash.sh --no-flash <board> mmcblk0p1

Backup currect image

$ sudo ./flash.sh -r -k APP -G backup.img <board> mmcblk0p1

backup.img.raw is the same result when using 'dd' command.
backup.img is the sparse image of backup.img.raw

Flash backup.img

1. Copy backup.img to the folder where system.img.
   And rename it into system.img.

$ sudo cp -rv backup.img bootloader/system.img

2. Flash but DONOT create new system.img

$ sudo ./flash.sh -r <board> mmcblk0p1

Flash new kernel(modules)

You can only change it using file system.
(Via baseboard sd card/ USB stick)
Kernel image:
Copy from:

<nvidia_folder>/Linux_for_Tegra/sources/kernel/kernel-4.9/arch/arm64/boot/Image

to device:

/boot/

Kernel Modules:
Copy from

<nvidia_folder>/Linux_for_Tegra/sources/kernel/modules/lib/

to device:

/lib/

Update device tree/ overlay

You can only change it using file system.
(Via baseboard sd card/ USB stick)

From:

<nvidia_folder>/Linux_for_Tegra/sources/kernel/kernel-4.9/arch/arm64/boot/dts/<target>.dtb
<nvidia_folder>/Linux_for_Tegra/sources/kernel/kernel-4.9/arch/arm64/boot/dts/<target>.dtbo

to device:

/boot/<target>.dtb
/boot/<target>.dtbo

Change default device-tree

On device:

$ vi /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf
LABEL primary
      MENU LABEL primary kernel
+     FDT /boot/<target>.dtb
      LINUX /boot/Image
      INITRD /boot/initrd
      APPEND ${cbootargs} root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw rootwait rootfstype=ext4 console=ttyTCU0,115200n8 console=tty0 fbcon=map:0 net.ifnames=0

Change default overlay

on device:

$ vi /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf
LABEL primary
      MENU LABEL primary kernel
+     FDTOVERLAYS /boot/<target_overlay>.dtbo
      FDT /boot/<target>.dtb
      LINUX /boot/Image
      INITRD /boot/initrd
      APPEND ${cbootargs} root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw rootwait rootfstype=ext4 console=ttyTCU0,115200n8 console=tty0 fbcon=map:0 net.ifnames=0

Support Overlay Table (WIP)

Flash new pinmux image

Edit the xlsm pinmux file via windows environment.

<nvidia_folder>/Linux_for_Tegra/TEK*-NVJETSON_*_pinmux/*.xlsm

If done, click the above Macro(Generate DT file) to generate pinmux file.

A) For Xavier NX

1. Type the <name> twice.
   {height="" width=""}
   You will see this result.
   

2. Convert into cfg files using Jetpack script.

# Copy files to script location
$ cp -rv tegra19x-<name>-pinmux.dtsi <nvidia_folder>/Linux_for_Tegra/kernel/pinmux/t19x/
$ cp -rv tegra19x-<name>-gpio-default.dtsi <nvidia_folder>/Linux_for_Tegra/kernel/pinmux/t19x/
$ cp -rv tegra19x-<name>-padvoltage-default.dtsi <nvidia_folder>/Linux_for_Tegra/kernel/pinmux/t19x/

# Generation cfg file
$ cd <nvidia_folder>/Linux_for_Tegra/kernel/pinmux/t19x/
$ python pinmux-dts2cfg.py --pinmux addr_info.txt gpio_addr_info.txt por_val.txt    \
                tegra19x-<name>-pinmux.dtsi tegra19x-<name>-gpio-default.dtsi \
                1.0 > TEST_tegra19x-mb1-pinmux-p3668-a01.cfg

3. Copy cfg files to flash location

$ sudo cp -rp TEST_tegra19x-mb1-pinmux-p3668-a01.cfg <nvidia_folder>/Linux_for_Tegra/bootloader/t186ref/BCT/tegra19x-mb1-pinmux-p3668-a01.cfg

4. Flash 'MB1_BCT' partition(pinmux partition).

$ sudo ./flash.sh -k MB1_BCT jetson-xavier-nx-devkit-emmc mmcblk0p1

B) For Nano

1. Type the <name>.
   

You will see this result.
{height="" width=""}
2) Copy files to device-tree location(For example: TEK3-NVJETSON)

$ sudo cp -rp tegra210-tek3-gpio-default.dtsi <nvidia_folder>/Linux_for_Tegra/sources/hardware/nvidia/platform/t210/porg/kernel-dts/porg-platforms/tegra210-tek3-nvjetson-a1-gpio-default.dtsi
$ sudo cp -rp tegra210-tek3-pinmux.dtsi <nvidia_folder>/Linux_for_Tegra/sources/hardware/nvidia/platform/t210/porg/kernel-dts/porg-platforms/tegra210-tek3-nvjetson-a1-pinmux.dtsi

4. Re-compile and flash new device-tree.
