I used this command to flash my device

sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh
–external-device nvme0n1p1
-c tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_external.xml
-p “-c bootloader/t186ref/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml”
–showlogs
–network usb0

Hi,

Please try to add –erase-all in your commands

For example

sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh
–external-device nvme0n1p1
-c tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_external.xml
-p “-c bootloader/t186ref/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml”
–showlogs
–erase-all
–network usb0
p3509-a02+p3767-0000 nvme0n1p1

Thanks

Hi,

Thus, does adding the --erase-all option resolve the issue?
Or did you take other steps to fix it?

Thank you.
