I am using the AGX Xavier Industrial Module. It is configured to auto-boot right now upon power application. The issue I have is that at some point the Xavier module will no longer enter Forced Recovery mode for a new flash. This issue is new to us as we have been using this module and setup for the past 2 years without issue, flashing new OS configurations as often as once a week/month.
I know that the physical hardware and carrier board we are using is fine because if I take a different Xavier module I am able to enter Force Recovery and perform a flash. The only physical issue I noticed with the hard ware was that Pin L63 (PRSNT1) was broken off on the Xavier module that doesn’t enter Force Recovery mode. PRSNT1 doesn’t seem to matter when using an Auto-Boot from what this image is showing
I guess I’m not sure what would prevent Force Recovery Mode and what Pin L63 might do if left unconnected in an auto-boot configureation.
Are you using Xavier devkit? Do you mean the board can boot normally, but can’t enter recovery mode anyway? Pin L63 can only affect power-on by power button. I am afraid that there are other defects on your board which cause this. You may need to check the FORCE_RECOVERY* signal first to make sure it is asserted during the power on.
Thank you for your response. I know that my Xavier carrier board is not the issue, we are using the AGX111 from Connect Tech. I know the AGX111 carrier board is not the issue because I can put other Xavier modules on the same board and they will enter Force Recovery without issue. By that same logic, when I use a different AGX111 carrier for the Xavier module in question I am unable to enter Force Recovery. I thought, originally, that this was a one off issue as I had only seen this happen once a month ago, but now, a second Xavier module has the same problem. I’m wondering what could be causing this.
You may need to check with vendor of AGX111. If you can repro the issue stably on devkit, then it would be a module issue. It is hard to tell the root cause of such occasional failure.
