After flashing the DRIVE AGX unit with DRIVE OS 5.2.6.0, we are no longer able to log in.
Could you please help us to resolve the issue? We cannot figure out what is the root cause.
Important information: we are not using SDKManager because we are using tailored version of DRIVE OS from NVIDIA.

Steps taken:

  1. LInux images compiled: make -f Makefile.bind BOARD=e3550b03-t194a PCT=linux clean
    make -f Makefile.bind BOARD=e3550b03-t194a PCT=linux
  2. Flashing from commandline finished with success: ./bootburn.sh -b e3550b03-t194a -B qspi --board_config …/board_configs/e3550b03-t194a.json
  3. Xavier A reset. Result:

Hi, @sylwester.kocjan

Please see if How to do factory reset for both Xavier modules on DRIVE AGX? Drive OS reinstall at least does not change the nvidia password - #16 by user28207 and information on the topic help your problem. Thanks.

Hi @VickNV

This link was helpful, it helped us to restore the contents of /etc directory. Unfortunately, we have still issue with corrupted /usr/ directory, namely sudo, which is blocking our work.

Could you please let us know what can we do to make sure that entire filesystem is rewritten during flashing? I assume /usr is not a part of Persistent Partition.

Best regards,
Sylwester

Is the not-able-to-login issue fixed? If yes, please create another topic linked to this one for the current issue and elaborate it there.
BTW, this forum is for the releases in NVIDIA DRIVE Downloads | NVIDIA Developer so please make sure your issue is on one of the releases.

Hello @VickNV ,

The issue is fixed. Thank you for your support!
