I install **[open-gpu-kernel-modules](https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules)** with version 525.60.13 , NVIDIA driver with same version and merge [LX2160a support for Nvidia open-gpu-kernel-modules · GitHub](https://gist.github.com/jnettlet/226c0787ae9744082493accc512a9a6b)

But I can not still get GPU info by command “nvidia-smi” , the response as following:

```auto
# nvidia-smi
No devices were found

```

There is pcie info and nvidia kernel info

Check kernel message, it indicate that gsp Cannot initialize.

You appear to be using a device-tree based bootloader and kernel. Currently the NVIDIA device-tree drivers are only tested and working with edk2 and ACPI based firmware.

I’m a green hand for device tree. Could give me some guidance?

I would need to look at nvidia’s kernel module, but currently they rely on some specific configurations that are ACPI only. The driver is designed mostly for SystemReady ES/SR designed systems.

I add

```auto
echo "options nvidia NVreg_OpenRmEnableUnsupportedGpus=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/nvreg_fix.conf > /dev/null

```

as module params, and then run

```auto
nvidia-smi

```

I successfully get GPU info. But when i run “nvidia-smi” again,there is “No device found” and kernel message as follow

You should also have `nvidia-drm.modeset=1` set and make sure to disable the nouveau modules from loading.
