Jetson-tx2, Change kernel without full flash

I’m studying Linux kernel based on arm arch, and i want to know how can i change kernel without full flash

I tried a lot of thing like

sudo ./flash.sh -k kernel -K /Image -R rootfs/ jetson-tx2 mmcblk0p1
sudo ./flash.sh -k kernel --image /Image jetson-tx2 mmcblk0p1
.
.
.

my machine is tx2, and crosscompiler’s version is 7, and kernel version is 4.9 and using R 32.1

Please replace the dtb file at …/Linux_for_Tegra/kernel/dtb/ and issue below command to update the device tree.

sudo ./flash.sh -r -k kerne-dtb jetson-tx2 mmcblk0p1

For the kernel image replace the Image at …/Linux_for_Tegra/kernel/ and …
sudo ./flash.sh -r -k kerne jetson-tx2 mmcblk0p1
or try to copy the Image to TX2 and replace the /boot/Image.

I already replace my Image at kernel/Image and dtb files at kernel/dtb/~ include c03-base,

I want to know what is necessary for changing kernel.

Please attached the flash log for checking.

sudo ./flash.sh -r -k kernel-dtb jetson-tx2 mmcblk0p1

You can see the dtb file is updated to yours.

DTS File Name: /home/bear/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/JetPack_4.2_Linux_P3310/Linux_for_Tegra/sources/kernel/kernel-4.9/arch/arm64/boot/dts/…/…/…/…/…/…/hardware/nvidia/platform/t18x/quill/kernel-dts/tegra186-quill-p3310-1000-c03-00-base.dts

But kernel is not changed,
I use localversion to identify whether it is changed and local_version is not changed
after updating kernel-dtb

kernel-dtb only update the dtb, you need replace the Image and update by sudo ./flash.sh -r -k kernel jetson-tx2 mmcblk0p1 to update the kernel. Or try to copy your Image to tegra device and replace the /boot/Image then reboot the device.

Well…I tried
sudo ./flash.sh -k kernel jetson-tx2 mmcblk0p1, but it doesn’t work.
I’ll try second one and reply how it works.

Thanks for your help

I tried second one, and i faced a error “Started User Manager for UID 120”

i faced this a lot of time. Do you know why this error occurs?

I found something interesting on that. See:
[url]boot - Ubuntu 18.04 hangs on booting with message "started user manager for uid 120" on Asus 1015PX - Ask Ubuntu

That URL mentions editing “/etc/gdm3/custom.conf”. That particular fix involves uncommenting a line to disable Wayland. I see in my system this is already uncommented. Have you done anything with Wayland? On the system with the issue, can you check if “WaylandEnable=false” is uncommented (it should be uncommented)?

Note that wherever you flash from will have a “rootfs/etc/gdm3/custom.conf”, and if you don’t have direct access to the Jetson to check its file for that change, then you can use this file on the host side as an alternate check.

FYI, UID 120 is the user “gdm”, which the display manager used for GUI login.

Even if things seem to stop at that error message you might try CTRL-ALT-F2 or CTRL-ALT-F3 and see if a text-only console can be reached.

Hi All
R32.1 looks like need to copy the Image to the tegra at /boot/Image to apply customize kernel image.

Hi all,

Is this “Started User Manager for UID 120” prolem solved? I’m facing same problem on Jetson Xavier.
I tried to recompile the kernel with “tegra_defconfig” default configuration.
Then even I updated kernel by coping to /boot/Image or by command as below

sudo ./flash.sh -r -k kernel -K YOUR_KERNEL_ZIMAGE jetson-xavier mmcblk0p

“Started User Manager for UID 120” problem still remained.

Any help would be appreciated.

Update:

If I use kernel that come with “JAX-TX2-Jetson_Linux_R32.1.0_aarch64” package, HDMI could display as well.
“Started User Manager for UID 120” only happen with my re_compile kernel even with default configuration.

Did you follow the edit here?

Also, when you run the command “uname -r”, what does the new kernel show? Do you have kernel modules present at “/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/”? Does the suffix of “uname -r” reflect the kernel config “CONFIG_LOCALVERSION”?
