Can not boot after restoring clone image

Hello,

We are using the AGX Orin Industrial module on our custom board.
We are working with a customized JetPack, and we would like to clone and restore the system.
The JetPack version we are using is 6.2.0.

We followed the “Cloning a Jetson Device and Flashing” section from the NVIDIA Developer Guide below:

https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/archives/r36.4.3/DeveloperGuide/SD/FlashingSupport.html#backing-up-and-restoring-a-jetson-device

I used this command to clone and restore.

sudo ./flash.sh --no-flash --no-systemimg jetson-agx-orin-devkit-industrial mmcblk0p1

sudo ./flash.sh -r -k APP -G backup.img jetson-agx-orin-devkit-industrial mmcblk0p1

sudo cp backup.img bootloader/system.img

sudo ./flash.sh -r jetson-agx-orin-devkit-industrial mmcblk0p1

We were able to successfully create the clone image and flash it, but the restored AGX Orin module fails to boot.
We have attached the failure logs below.

Please help me.

Based on the provided information, it appears that you are experiencing issues with restoring a cloned image of the Jetson AGX Orin Industrial module on your custom board. The module fails to boot after the restoration process.

To troubleshoot this issue, let’s break down the steps you’ve taken so far:

  1. You’ve created a customized JetPack for your AGX Orin Industrial module.
  2. You’ve followed the section from the NVIDIA Developer Guide on backing up and restoring a Jetson device.
  3. You’ve successfully created a clone image and flashed it to the module.
  4. However, the restored module fails to boot.

Given the failure logs you’ve attached, it’s likely that there’s an issue with the boot process. Here are a few potential causes:

  1. Boot Validation: The Boot Validation table in the provided context suggests that there are several checks that need to be performed during the boot process. It’s possible that one of these checks is failing, preventing the module from booting. You may want to verify that the TegraFlash, UART output, KBD connection, and other boot-related configurations are correct.
  2. Kernel Device Tree: The kernel device tree is responsible for configuring the hardware components on the module. If the device tree is not correctly configured, it can prevent the module from booting. You may want to verify that the kernel device tree is correctly configured for your custom board.
  3. Boot Scripts: The boot scripts (bootcmd) are responsible for configuring the boot process. If the boot scripts are not correctly configured, it can prevent the module from booting. You may want to verify that the boot scripts are correctly configured for your custom board.
  4. Power Management: The Jetson AGX Orin series has power management features that need to be correctly configured. If the power management features are not correctly configured, it can prevent the module from booting. You may want to verify that the power management features are correctly configured for your custom board.

To further troubleshoot the issue, you may want to try the following:

  1. Check the boot logs: Analyze the boot logs to see if there are any error messages that can indicate the cause of the issue.
  2. Verify the boot configuration: Verify that the boot configuration is correct, including the kernel device tree, boot scripts, and power management features.
  3. Try a different boot mode: Try booting the module in a different mode, such as recovery mode, to see if it makes a difference.
  4. Contact NVIDIA support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you may want to contact NVIDIA support for further assistance.

In comparison to other Jetson modules, the AGX Orin Industrial module has similar power management features, but the boot process may differ slightly. Therefore, it’s essential to verify that the boot configuration is correct for your specific module.

In summary, the issue you’re experiencing is likely related to the boot process, and you may want to try verifying the boot configuration, checking the boot logs, and trying a different boot mode to resolve the issue. If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may want to contact NVIDIA support for further assistance.

Hello, carolyuu

The custom board, the agx orin industrial module, and the custom jetpack were still in use. The only issue I’m having is cloning and restoring the jetpack. I think the error is ERROR: PARTUUID= mount fail, but I have absolutely no idea how to fix it.

Hi,

Please refer to README_backup_restore.txt using ./tools/backup_restore/l4t_backup_restore.sh script instead.

Thanks
