Any help would be appreciated.

hello ilies.chergui,

may I have confirmation, is this a fused Jetson Xavier NX ?

Hello @JerryChang

I tried to burn the Tegra fuses but It doesn’t happen for some reason please see this topic

Attached file contains the logs when trying to read tegra fuses.

odm_fuse_read_jetson_nx.log (31.2 KB)

Please take a look

hello ilies.chergui,

SecureBoot feature it only supported with production modules. (i.e. eMMC version)
FYI, in the next coming release (i.e. JetPack-4.6), it’ll include soft preventing mechanism to prevent fusing on non-eMMC version boards.
thanks

Hey @JerryChang

In the previous topic you said that we can define mb1bct version, this works only with Jetson Xavier AGX.

Are you planing to make this possibility with Jetson Xavier NX ? if so, could you please provide the binary or the patch for testing.

Thanks a lot for your help

hello ilies.chergui,

I’ve checked again, it’s only Jetson AGX Xavier to supports this workaround.
as I mentioned in comment #5, there’ll be soft preventing mechanism to prevent fusing on non-eMMC version boards in further release.
thanks
