 2.0 Known Issues

This section provides details about issues discovered during development and QA but not
resolved in this release.

2.1 General System Usability

The following general system usability related issues are noted in this release.

Issue Description
2515130, On Jetson Nano, depending on the SD card speed, user may observe slow loading of
258714 certain applications such as a generic file editor and image viewer.

2524344, Jetson Nano currently does not implement power-based throttling. The system may
200498151 shut down if adapter power capacity is exceeded. This will not happen if the system
is used with a validated power adapter that provides adequate power.

2496962 Low-latency audio decode requires customer to set memory and CPU speeds
accordingly.

2521704 On Jetson Nano, when a GPIO is released (e.g. using the sysfs unexport file, the
cleanup() function in the Jetson.GPIO Python module, or the gpio_free()
function in the Linux kernel), the kernel configures the pin as a special function
(SFIO) rather than as a GPIO input. In some cases, this causes Jetson to drive a signal
onto the pin. If another device is also connected to that pin, and is also driving a
signal, this causes an electrical conflict, which may damage the hardware.
This issue is particularly relevant for the pins on the 40-pin GPIO expansion header.

200431304 On Jetson AGX Xavier, user cannot ping the IP address 0.0.0.0.

200488963 Nano /dev/root device size is restricted to 14 GB when using flash.sh to write to
an SD card. User cannot create additional partitions on the root device, so any
excess space is unavailable.

200492517 On Jetson Nano, system error occurs at gether_connect+0x80/0x1d8 during SC7

stress. The issue’s reproducibility is very low.

Tegra Linux Driver Package RN_05071-R32 | 5

 32.1 Release Notes

Issue Description
200497890 USB device mode network feature always reports that it is active, even when the USB
cable is not plugged in. This causes Jetson's graphical interface to claim that a
network connection is active at all times.

200498221 On Jetson Nano, when connecting to both HDMI and DP displays at bootup, login
screen may only be visible on HDMI. Once logged in, the NVIDIA logo appears only on
DP and is not centered, leaving the HDMI display blank.

200499128 On Jetson TX2, OSidle power consumption is comparatively higher than in public
release 28.3.

2.2 Boot
The following boot related issues are noted in this release.

Issue Description
2510850 For Jetson AGX Xavier, Secureboot with PKC keys works only if flashing follows
immediately after signing. This is due to missing files located inside a temp
directory that is cleared if the two actions are not performed back-to-back. To work
around the problem, apply the patches described in “Failure in Secureboot with PKC
Keys.”

200471553 On Jetson AGX Xavier, changing boot device order requires reflash. The user cannot
change boot order from the command line.

200480903 On Jetson-Xavier, UFS card fails to automount on boot. User can mount UFS devices
manually or through the GUI. This was tested with ext4 and vfat formats.

200492423 On all Jetson platforms, using the new OEM configuration, a minor glitch is observed
during EULA screen presentation at first boot.

2.3 Camera
The following camera related issues are noted in this release.

Issue Description
200407802 On Jetson TX2 and Jetson AGX Xavier using the six-camera module (E3333), memory
leakage occurs in the nvargus daemon.

200459897 On Jetson AGX Xavier, blur and corruption in the form of a vertical black stripe of
pixels at one side of the image are observed with an SLVS-EC sensor.

200461442 On Jetson AGX Xavier, the Multimedia API front end sample application exhibits a
low frame rate when using the IMX185. This is a regression due to VIC frequency
dependency.

Tegra Linux Driver Package RN_05071-R32 | 6

 32.1 Release Notes

Issue Description
200476911 On Jetson AGX Xavier, users cannot use specific cameras that support the “wait until
trigger” mechanism. This mechanism is intended to trigger the sensor using an
external signal to capture a specified number of frames, then stop streaming until
triggered again.

200490050 On Jetson Nano, hardware de-noise functionality, denosiestrength, has less impact
than expected.

200490661 On TX2, the IMX390 dual sensor camera fails to capture simultaneously with both
sensors when running two separate applications to capture from CSI/GMSL.
Simultaneous capture from a single application is successful.

2.4 CUDA Samples

The following CUDA samples related issues are noted in this release.

Issue Description
200500995 If the system date and time are not set correctly after boot, be sure the configured
NTP server is accessible from your network.

2.5 Multimedia
The following multimedia related issues are noted in this release.

Issue Description
2517881 L4T currently does not support hardware acceleration for VLC Player. To work
around this issue, enter this command to run VLC Player with software decoding:
vlc --codec=avcodec <filename>
200297610 If the user launches an argus camera with Piecewise Linear WDR sensor mode
enabled and changes the AWB mode from Auto to another setting (Incandescent,
Fluorescent, etc.), then changes AWB mode back to Auto, preview hangs.
This is a corner case and is not handled in this release.

200427796 The new gst-v4l2 decoder has an issue with 10/12-bit HEVC decode. Blueish video
observed due to interchanged U and V planes getting read for 8-bit transform. This
type of decode works correctly with the legacy OMX-based decoder.

200489184 When using DRM for display, display modes using YUV format are not supported, and
are not properly filtered out by the DRM subsystem. To avoid this issue, select RGB
modes only, or use X11, which filters out YUV modes correctly.

200490095 On Jetson Nano, raw capture at 4K resolutions using an IMX219 camera exhibits
corruption. Capture at 4K resolutions using Argus (“cooked” instead of raw) is
functional.

Tegra Linux Driver Package RN_05071-R32 | 7

 32.1 Release Notes

Issue Description
200502065 GST pipeline using camera capture with scaling/color conversion may affect
performance. NVIDIA recommends setting the nvarguscamerasrc property
maxperf=1 for better performance. For more details, see the “Camera Capture”
section of Accelerated GStreamer User Guide.

200502136 nvgstcapture-1.0 has an image encoding issue using the nvjpegenc plugin for
default YUY2 video capture format for a USB camera.
To work around the issue, use the OSS jpegenc plugin instead of nvgstcapture-
1.0 for image encoding with a USB camera. To do this, add the command line switch
--image-enc=0 to the nvgstcapture-1.0 capture command, for example:
nvgstcapture-1.0 --camsrc=0 --image-enc=0

 5.0 Implementation Details

5.1 Video Decoder Instance Selection Planned Deprecation

NVIDIA® Tegra® Linux Driver Package (L4T) 32.1 release supports workload scaling across
available decoder instances.

To ensure portability of code across product generations, the interfaces for specification of
the NVIDIA Video Decoder instance are deprecated in this release.

The interfaces deprecated include:

 V4L2 external control ID V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_DECODE_INSTANCE
 GStreamer decoder property dec-instanceId

5.2 Symlinks May be Overwritten by Installation of Third

Party Libraries
Installing third party libraries on the target device may overwrite the accelerated library
provided by Linux for Tegra.

For example, installing Mesa EGL may create a /usr/lib/<arch>/libEGL.so symlink,

overwriting the symlink to the implementation library that should be used instead,
/usr/lib/<arch>/tegra-egl/libEGL.so.

Linux for Tegra installs a boot-time initialization script /etc/init/nv.conf, that corrects
typical occurrences, such as with OpenGL, EGL, and X11 GLX libraries. This script runs at
boot and corrects typical occurrences.

To workaround
 Reboot after installation of packages that install conflicting library symlinks.

Tegra Linux Driver Package RN_05071-R32 | 13

 32.1 Release Notes

5.3 New Users Must be Added to Video Group

When adding users to the system you must add them to the video group for the Linux
desktop to appear and function correctly.

5.4 Type-C Devices Unable to Drive DisplayPort

This is Known Issue 2183567.

For DP, Bootloader display polls for at most 1 msec. by default when trying to detect
whether HPD has been asserted by the sink. Different Type-C downstream devices
connected to the Type-C ports on Jetson AGX Xavier (cables, adapters, hubs, etc) may incur
different amounts of latency before they trigger the handshake process needed to drive DP
over Type-C.

Workaround: If a seamless display does not come up with the Type-C device you are using,
try increasing the HPD_TIMEOUT_MS value in tegrabl_display_dtb.c. We
recommend increasing the timeout value in 500 msec. increments. Increasing the timeout
value guarantees interoperability with a larger variety of devices, but also increases the boot
time.

5.5 Instability after GDM Restart

After GDM restart, multiple issues may appear like desktop not coming back (device
entering infinite loop of tegradc blank/unblank) or unable to log in.

Workaround: Add this line to /lib/systemd/system/gdm.service:

ExecStopPost=/bin/loginctl terminate-seat seat0

5.6 DLA Cores Do Not Support INT8

The DLA can accelerate Deep Learning inference workloads with INT8 and FP16. In this
developer preview release, only FP16 is supported. INT8 will be supported in a later release.

Tegra Linux Driver Package RN_05071-R32 | 14

 32.1 Release Notes

5.7 OpenGL-ES 1.1 Support Not Available

OpenGLES 1.1 support is not present in this release because Canonical did not provide the
libGLESv1_CM.so library as part of GLVND libraries in Ubuntu 18.04. Any app that is
linked with this library cannot run.

Canonical is working on the issue via bug

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libglvnd/+bug/1780039.

After the bug is fixed, an updated GLVND package will be available for Ubuntu 18.04
(Bionic). After the update is applied, libGLESv1_CM.so will be available and OpenGLES
1.1 support will work as expected without requiring any changes to the BSP.

5.8 Khronos Conformance Status

This release supports the following Khronos APIs:
 OpenGL-ES 3.2
 OpenGL 4.6
 Vulkan 1.1

The product is based on a published Khronos specification. It has been submitted to, and is
expected to pass, the Khronos Conformance Process. Current conformance status can be
found at http://www.khronos.org/conformance.

The CTS test version used to run conformance for each of the APIs is:
 OpenGL-ES: 3.2.5.0
 OpenGL: 4.6.0.0
 Vulkan: 1.1.1.2

5.9 Visual Profiler Launch Failure Workaround

This is Known Issue 200436049.

To run Visual Profiler on Ubuntu 18.04:

Install the package openjdk-8-jre, and

Invoke Visual Profiler with the -vm command line option included:

nvvp -vm /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java

Tegra Linux Driver Package RN_05071-R32 | 15

 32.1 Release Notes

The -vm option is only required if JRE is not included in CUDA Toolkit package and JRE 1.8
is not in the default path.

5.10 EMC Frequency Adjustment for CPU Workload

This note addresses the potential performance drop identified in Known Issue 2419317.

On Jetson AGX Xavier, the EMC frequency for CPU workload is decided by the static CPU-
EMC mapping table and the mc_all activity monitor (actmon) driver. The CPU-EMC
mapping table decides base minimum EMC frequency based on CPU frequency. The mc_all
actmon is responsible for scaling EMC frequency from the base minimum to a higher value
proportional to memory bandwidth utilization.

In this release the CPU-EMC mapping table is tuned, that is, the EMC base frequency
mapped to CPU frequency has been reduced to optimize power consumption. The tuned
CPU-EMC table does not affect performance of the GPU, NVDEC, and NVENC workloads,
as each has its own EMC scaling algorithm, but it may affect CPU workload performance,
especially when CPU load is high and bandwidth utilization is low. If any such performance
drop is observed, the CPU-EMC mapping table can be tuned in this location, based on
performance/power requirements:

<source>/hardware/nvidia/soc/t19x/kernel-dts/tegra194-soc/tegra194-soc-
base.dtsi

5.11 GPU Debug and Profiling Tools Must Be Run as Root

By default GPU debug and profiling tools now require running as root, or launching with
the sudo command, to function correctly.

The system administrator can grant privileges to general users if preferred.

5.12 Beta Level Support for HBR3

This release provides beta level support for HBR3 with DisplayPort version 1.4a.

Tegra Linux Driver Package RN_05071-R32 | 16

 32.1 Release Notes

5.13 GStreamer Plugin gst-omx deprecated

The GStreamer plugin gst-omx is deprecated in this release. NVIDIA recommends using
the gst-v4l2 plugin instead. For more information, see the Accelerated GStreamer User
Guide.

5.14 Failure in Secureboot with PKC Keys

For Jetson AGX Xavier, Secureboot with PKC keys works only if flashing immediately
follows signing. This is because flashing loses files located in a temporary directory that is
cleared if the two actions are not performed back-to-back.

Secureboot with PKC and SBK works as expected.

To work around the problem, apply the following patches:

The gst-omx plugin is deprecated in Linux for Tegra (L4T) release 32.1, and will be
removed in a future release (issue 200420440).

NVIDIA recommends using the gst-v4l2 plugin for development instead. See the
Accelerated GStreamer User Guide for usage information.
