A/B rootfs redundancy on Xavier Nx

Autonomous Machines Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson Xavier NX

Hi,

We are trying out A/B rootfs redundancy with SSD on jetson Xavier-NX, there we tried out the below command,

$ sudo ROOTFS_AB=1 ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device nvme0n1 -c ./tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_nvme_rootfs_ab.xml -S 10GiB --showlogs jetson-xavier nvme0n1p1

when we flashed with the above command, only one partition get created.

So is it possible to do A/B rootfs redundancy with SSD on jetson Xavier-NX.?

Which software release is in use?

Did you create a new partition to flash_l4t_nvme_rootfs_ab.xml?

Hi,

Thank you for reply,

Which software release is in use?
32.6

Did you create a new partition to flash_l4t_nvme_rootfs_ab.xml?
Yes, that file already present with partition.

I have attached that xml file , flash_l4t_nvme_rootfs_ab.xml (9.2 KB)

We are able flash with that above command but its creating 2 partition in emmc and only one partition in SSD, is there anything need to be modified with other files.

Please also try with 32.7.1 to prevent any bug in 32.6.

Also, please set the last parameter to “external” instead of nvme0n1p1.

$ sudo ROOTFS_AB=1 ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device nvme0n1 -c ./tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_nvme_rootfs_ab.xml -S 10GiB --showlogs jetson-xavier nvme0n1p1

Thank you for your reply,

I’m able to flash SSD with below command
sudo ROOTFS_AB=1 ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --flash-only --external-device nvme0n1p1 -c ./tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_nvme_rootfs_ab.xml -S 110GiB --showlogs nb-turbo-emmc-rev_b nvme0n1p1

in flash_l4t_nvme_rootfs_ab.xml file we need to set the new_sector to make a partition of requried size.

Thanks,
