I.e. lets say I have an Orin NX 8GB on a carrier board with an SSD, all working fine, if I turn it off, and replace the ORIN NX 8GB with another one, the only difference being it has an active heat sink instead of a TTP for passive cooling…will that work, or will the installation be somehow tied to the original module and force me to reflash etc?
If that another Orin NX does not get flashed before, then it is possible the boot will fail.
I mean the another Orin NX is totally out of box and does not know what is the image inside of it.
How about if the other Orin NX was installed and flashed on a different carrier board and flashed with its own SSD?
What exactly gets stored in the Orin NX model that is specific to how it has been flashed etc?
If that another Orin NX already got flashed before, then it could work.
Could? What does that mean - what are the factors that determine whether this is a viable approach or not?
I realise I could try this, but I’d like a better understanding too.
If the module was previously reflashed, then it means it has bootloader installed.
If bootloader is installed, then you shall be able to select the boot device during boot.
If your module was not flashed before, there could be no bootloader on it and it won’t be able to boot.
Brilliant, thank you very much for the explanation.
