AGX Xavier Flashing Fails

Hello,

I am trying to flash Jetpack 5.1.6 through sdkmanager on a Jetson AGX Xavier.
I am using a laptot that runs a fresh installation of Ubuntu 20.04, but I can’t flash Jetpack to the jetson. I have used the normal mode, the recovery mode and the RMC mode, but did not get any success.

Here is the dump of the flashing logs:

Thanks in advance for any help given !

Hi,

Some questions to confirm:

  • Are your using a developer kit or a custom board?

Please also provide the serial console log for us to review.

Thanks

Hello,

I am indeed using a developper kit.

For the serial console log, I am not sure how to get it: I only have the device /dev/ttyACM0 showing when plugging a cable from the jetson to my host computer (an usb-c cable), and it dissapear when Im flashing (screen is disconnecting from the device)

Hi,

You should connect it to the micro-USB port.

Thanks

I have a USB-C port instead of the micro-usb

Hi,

It’s not our official developer kit.
Please reach out the vendor to get the customized BSP to flash your device.

Thanks
