I want to realize more about a/b slots in TX2 Bootloader Update and Redundancy.
A/b slots will be functioning in what circumstances. Can I consider it as a solution when I fail to run bootloader or kernel?
Please check with out L4T document → Boot redundancy for some introduction.
Sorry, I cannot find what I want
You mean this?

thanks very much.
I cannot see a file in your path. That path is on your local machine, but I guess the file is correct.
I follow the instructions in the document, generating BUP, and running nv_update_engine -i.
But it failed, could you give me some guidance?

nvidia@tegra-ubuntu:~$ sudo nvbootctrl dump-slots-info
[sudo] password for nvidia:
magic:0x43424e00, version: 3 features: 3 num_slots: 2
slot: 0, priority: 15, suffix: _a, retry_count: 7, boot_successful: 1
slot: 1, priority: 0, suffix: _b, retry_count: 0, boot_successful: 0
Steps:
- Generate BUP package on JetPack3.2 folder:
$ sudo ./build_l4t_bup.sh jetson-tx2 mmcblk0p1 - Run nvbootctrl utility:
$ sudo nvbootctrl dump-slots-info - Copy bl_update_payload to /opt/ota_package
- Enable A/B redundancy
$ sudo nv_update_engine --enable-ab - Update BUP & reboot
$ sudo nv_update_engine --install - After reboot, run nvbootctrl utility again to check:
$ sudo nvbootctrl dump-slots-info
Hi WayneWWW,
I had exactly same problem . I’m using TX2 R28.3.
My purpose using BUP is that I want to update device tree without flashing tx2.
And I found that BUP can update dtb partition.
When I followed the step you provide, it failed at Step 5.
Here’s error log:

I wonder if there is something to do with FAB ID(B02 & D00)?
