Accidental Python purge removed terminal, xterm, virtual console, ubuntu sofware center, etc. How to reflash Driveworks without command line?

Autonomous Vehicles DRIVE PX 2 DRIVE - Linux

Hi, we accidentally purged some python packages and now we cannot access the terminal, xterm or any command line interface. We want to re-flash the nvidia drive px2 but we can’t open up driveInstall. We are on TEGRA A AutoChauffeur (P2379). Is there any way we can flash it via boot able USB to ubuntu 16.04 lts and then reflash with driveInstall? Is there a way to access a bios on the Drive pX2?

Dear godeva,

Is there any way we can flash it via boot able USB to ubuntu 16.04 lts and then reflash with driveInstall?

Is there a way to access a bios on the Drive pX2?
→ Could you let me know what a bios means? Thanks.

Hi SteveNV,

I fixed the issue by following the guide you sent and flashing Tegra A using Driveworks SDK Manager. Thanks for your help.
