Hello,
I’ve compiled a new kernel from source following the direction in Tegra Linux Driver Package
Developer Guide 24.2.1. After installation the boot fails with FDT_ERR_NOSPACE. I’ve checked that I’ve installed the new tegra210-jetson-tx1-p2597-2180-a01-devkit.dtb into the /boot/dtb/ folder, and I’ve copied all of the freshly generated .dtb files to /boot/
I’m using JetPack-2.3 with kernel tag tegra-l4t-r24.2.1, and I have not changed any kernel settings, except to run make O=$TEGRA_KERNEL_OUT tegra21_defconfig
Here is the output on the debug serial port:

Thanks for your help
I see this, which implies the dtb file was found:
Retrieving file: /boot/tegra210-jetson-tx1-p2597-2180-a01-devkit.dtb
I would assume something in the dtb file is not valid. You might want to reverse compile this dtb file and verify its contents are what you expect; and additionally, if there are modifications versus the original “tegra210-jetson-tx1-p2597-2180-a01-devkit.dtb”, you might post the modifications. Reverse compile can be done via (this won’t preserve comments):
dtc -I dtb -O dts -o /tmp/extracted.dts /boot/the_firmware_in_extlinux.dtb
Additionally, did any of your changes have any effect on what might be in “/lib/firmware/”? If so, starting at L4T R24.2, the initrd file is used. Changes to firmware there which is used during initial boot would also require updating the initrd file.
Hi @linuxdev
I didn’t change anything from sources_r24.2.1 but still same problem. If I copy only kernel Image file, everything still be OK. So I can confirm that this’s because device tree problem.
When I try to compare bin between prebuilt tegra210-jetson-tx1-p2597-2180-a01-devkit.dtb with my file, there are some differences.
Any advices ?
Thanks
If you copy a kernel image, and if CONFIG_LOCALVERSION was not set to match (and the entire config), then I would expect issues. So the first question is did you exactly copy the previous running config, and did you set CONFIG_LOCALVERSION? If set, then “uname -r” should be the same regardless of which kernel is used.
Normally you’d just re-use the dtb files. Should the drivers change such that the dtb is now incorrect you’d have to change the dtb…but…do you have a reason to build and install not just a kernel, but also dtb? What are the particular hardware devices which are misbehaving after the changes?
Hi @linuxdev,
I just flash board with Jetpack v2.3 and rebuild kernel from sources_r24.2.1 then copy my Image and dtb to /boot folder. I didn’t change anything from the kernel source.
I don’t know how to set CONFIG_LOCALVERSION.
Last time, I made our camera driver working well on kernel 24.1. Now I want to update to kernel 24.2 so I need modify dtb file.
Thanks
Hi,
I figured out by myself. Because I used Jetpack 2.3 with kernel 24.2.1 then caused a missmatch.
After that, I use latest Jetpack as 2.3.1 so everything work well.
