Apt upgrade bootloader causes agx orin not able to boot

[jameskuo]

Hi Nvidia:
We are using AGX Orin 64GB on a custom board, base on Jetpack 6.
After installing nvidia-jetpack, we use apt upgrade to make sure all the packages are latest:

$ sudo apt install nvidia-jetpack
$ sudo apt upgrade

However, after upgrading packages and rebooting, agx orin is not able to boot again.
Serial log shows that the bootloader is being updated. After updated, bootloader stopped at “*** FIRMWARE INIT FAILED AT LEVEL 95 ***”
Full serial log is attached: afterUpdateBootloader.log (75.6 KB)

Seems like the bootloader is updated to devkit version. As a result, the custom board, which contains no 10g ethernet, will not able to boot up?

Please help.

Many thanks.

Hi jameskuo,

Please DO NOT use sudo apt upgrade for custom carrier board.
The debian package on server would not know how’s the design of your custom board.
It is only available for the devkit.

Please just use the custom BSP package and flash the board to recover.
