Hello everyone,
I struggling to restore my backup image to multiple TX2 at the same time (parallelization of flash).
Before beginning my explanation I want to add that I made the whole process with the normal setup (without -r option and own backup described below) and everything worked well. I could flash multiple Jetson at the same time with the default system.img
So let me explain what I tried and what I want to achieve. I have 20 TX2 and I use JetPack 3.3. I flash the first TX2 and install all my environnement (it takes a lot of time). So I make a backup using:
sudo ./flash.sh -r -k APP -G backup.img jetson-tx2 mmcblk0p1
then I want to clone my backup.img to multiple TX2 at the same time. For that I use the following process:
-
replace the system.img in bootloader (~3.5GB) with my backup.img (~30GB) and rename it system.img (plus deleting the system.img.raw)
-
then I execute the following commande
sudo ./flash.sh -r --no-flash jetson-tx2 mmcblk0p1
(I added the -r option to keep my system.img and avoid overriding it according to this issue (output of commande at the end).
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1038136/jetson-tx2/about-flashing-multiple-tegra-devices-/2
- then I lunch the script to flash on multiple device with
sudo ./multi_tegra_flash.sh
accordingly to this documentation.
https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/archives/l4t-archived/l4t-282/index.html#page/Tegra%2520Linux%2520Driver%2520Package%2520Development%2520Guide%2Fflash_multi.html%23wwpID0EFHA.
the output is the following:
Start flashing; PID=30605
Start flashing device: 1-4, PID: 30653
Start flashing device: 3-2, PID: 30654
Ongoing processes: 30653 30654

BELOW OUTPUT OF
sudo ./flash.sh -r --no-flash jetson-tx2 mmcblk0p1
(as mentioned above)
