Thanks @limeng-linux for the PR.

[ichergui]

FYI. The official version that supports L4T R36.5.0 will be available next week.
I assume you tested these changes on Orin platform right ? If so, could you please confirm.

[limeng-linux]

yes. I tested jop command with NVIDIA Orin AGX platform.
without the 0001 patch, jtop command can not work.

without the 0002 patch, jtop can not display correct version at the top-left of screen.

BTW, you mean that The official version is NVIDIA yocto release(36.5.), not NVIDAI Jetson Linux 36.5. Is it right?

thanks,

@limeng-linux I don't know what @ichergui means by "official version," but the latest code in the source repo appears to be up-to-date with L4T/JetPack versions. It doesn't look like it has the Python 3.14 compatibility fix, though.

I also don't see any recent releases tagged in the repo, and, rather concerningly, the latest version available from pypi (4.3.2) is a year old and doesn't have a corresponding tag in the source repo. So I'm not sure what state this package is in.

@limeng-linux @madisongh
By the official version. I meant the upcoming release of jetson-stats
I discussed with the maintainer and he mentioned that he will provide new version next week that supports L4T R36.5.0.

I've also contributed two PRs upstream to jetson_stats for Python 3.14 compatibility and Thor tegrastats support, of which the Python 3.14 one is related to your fix:

• Fix multiprocessing pickle error on python 3.14+ rbonghi/jetson_stats#833
• Fix tegrastats parsing for Thor rbonghi/jetson_stats#834

Since the maintainer hasn't published to PyPI in a year, I've been writing my own recipe that pulls directly from the source repo. Shouldn't we consider moving away from python3-jetson-stats_4.3.1.bb in favor of something like this?

# recipes-devtools/python/python3-jetson-stats_7.1.0.bb
SRC_URI += "\
    git://github.com/rbonghi/jetson_stats.git;branch=master;protocol=https \
    ..."
SRCREV = "4a43d735dd45a1eab1b5ffd880cd40ee11f92e2b"

[madisongh]

@mdcedgx That sounds reasonable to me. @ichergui What do you think? I'm still not seeing any activity in either pypi or even the source repo that looks anything like preparation for a new release.

[ichergui]

@mdcedgx @madisongh it is reasonable.
@mdcedgx @limeng-linux Please update your branch then I will move forward with the PR review then merge.

[limeng-linux]

With the latest code in https://github.com/rbonghi/jetson_stats, it has support 36.5.0 version, So my second patch can be ignored. @mdcedgx please create a PR to submit your patch firstly, and then I will check whether my first patch is still necessary after jetson_stats has been updated to latest code.

thanks,
Limeng
