Reading board information failed.
I know there are a bunch of similar issues here but they are all lengthy discussion and none really had a direct simple solution.
I tried this with two different Orin AGX, two different cables, two different USB-A to USB-C converters, allways the same result. I don’t have random computers laying around so I can’t test with a different host.
I just checked with another host, also with Ubuntu20.04, set up from scratch with all updates installed. Same error, so I think this might be affecting every system on that version?
I updated to Ubuntu22.04 hoping the kernel would be fixed, but I guess Ubuntu22.04 is not supported with the SDKmanager, and the flash.sh script failed the same way.
I tried to play around with minicom earlier, but I couldn’t figure out how to get any logs. I am connected with USB-C and the /dev/ttyACM0 only shows up when the Orin boots to it’s normal install. I think some more extensive explanations would be useful, if you guys request logs from everybody, just that article is not telling me anything about how to get the logs.
I could try the docker images, but I suspect I will still hit the same issue, as the kernel is shared. Any suggestions?

I guess we can close this if you guys prefer, but I definitely would like to see a way of making this work in the other thread then. Only thing I can think of is downgrading the kernel, but not even sure how far and honestly that is a pretty bad solution.

Hi, sorry that I forgot to clarify that. Actually only the micro usb port has the capability to dump log prior to kernel. For example, bootloader side log.
Flash log is also only available to this port. Not type C.
Thanks for these information. I just tried with that kernel version and I got the same issue:

So maybe it is not a kernel issue after all, but an issue with the XPS13 laptops. Both of the hosts I tested are from that brand. I can try to get the logs tomorrow, I don’t have a micro USB here.
Here the log during normal startup and during flashing. Hope that helps figuring out what is going on here. Would be really great if I could flash the Orin.
By the way I just remembered I used the same computer in the past to flash other Jetson devices, although through the micro usb port. So in theory it should work.
Not really. The current status of this issue is, according to my understanding, that the flashing script is hitting a kernel issue that prevents anybody from flashing a Orin over USB-C with any of the dell laptops, as they require a custom kernel, with that particular issue present. I tried:
Using a different kernel, which didn’t work, I assume, because the standard kernel can not properly communicate with the dell USB-C module.
Using Ubuntu 22.04 (I need to check if there is an updated kernel available), with the flash script, same issue.
I don’t have a none dell laptop available, so I won’t be able to flash any of the Orin we have, I can work with the off the shelf installation on these, but it is not great to not being able to check if I can deploy our software stack from scratch.
I am experiencing what looks to be the same problem, unable to flash our Orin modules on kernel 5.15.0-56-generic, we are looking into downgrading; however, it’s clear the time involved is going to cause us to miss our project deadlines.
@manbehindthemadness This seems to be the kernel version that comes with ubuntu 22.04 and as mentioned earlier, it seems to have the same issue, at least on a XPS13, probably all Dell laptops.
Interesting, so far I assumed that this problem is restricted to dell computers, as the above mentioned issue was on a Precision and I have XPS’s, but that might indicate that it is a bigger issue.
I suspect it’s the usb bus hardware itself, I have had some inconsistent behavior with various USB 3 devices running on usb 2 that could easily qualify as an x-file
